John C. Bravman is the 17th president of Bucknell University who came to Bucknell after a 35-year career at Stanford University,〔(Biography: President John C. Bravman )〕 where he served as the Freeman-Thornton Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, Dean of the Freshman-Sophomore College, and Bing Centennial Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University.〔John C. Bravman, Ph.D., named 17th president of Bucknell University. April 12, 2010. http://www.bucknell.edu/x60920.xml〕 Bravman earned his Bachelor's ('79), Master's ('81) and Ph.D. ('85) degrees from Stanford in Materials Science & Engineering. Bravman has received several awards, including the Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching, Stanford University's highest honor for teaching. He has been a freshman adviser or resident fellow every year for the past 24 years. In his spare time, Professor Bravman enjoys photography, cooking, and discussing politics and economics. During the earliest months of his presidency, Bravman initiated an in-depth examination of the quality of student life by establishing the Campus Climate Task Force.〔 This group of faculty, staff, and students was charged with assessment of student views and actions related to personal responsibility and, as appropriate, recommending ways to encourage the most positive University experience for students.〔 In October 2012, Bravman announced the public launch of the (WE DO Campaign for Bucknell University ). The campaign's half-a-billion dollar goal makes it the largest fundraising effort in the University's history.〔We Do. The Campaign for Bucknell University〕 In January 2013, after the conclusion of an investigation initiated by Bravman, he decided to publicly announce that the University had discovered SAT reporting errors from 2006 through 2012, which resulted in Bucknell's SAT scores being reported to various organizations as higher than they actually were. Bravman also announced that the University had been misreporting its ACT scores, and that the reported scores were lower than they actually were. As a result of the errors, and to ensure accuracy in the future, Bravman put in place new procedures for reviewing data before reporting to external entities.〔Bucknell University Reporting of SAT and ACT Scores 2006-2012〕 After recalculating its rankings using the corrected information, U.S. News & World Report concluded that the difference between Bucknell's misreported data and newly reported data wasn't significant enough to affect the school's numerical rank.〔Correcting Bucknell University's 2011 Admissions Statistics〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John C.
