On Thursday, former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that she would be taking a teaching role at one of the nation’s most prestigious universities. Lightfoot will become the Richard L. and Ronay A. Menschel Senior Leadership Fellow at Harvard, and will teach a course tentatively titled “Health Policy and Leadership.”

Other former mayors, such as New York’s Bill de Blasio and Boston’s Kim Janey, have previously served as Menschel Senior Leadership Fellows. Lightfoot became eligible for the position after becoming the first incumbent Chicago mayor to lose since Jane Byrne, the city’s first female mayor, was ousted in 1983.

Lightfoot announced her acceptance of the position on Twitter.
