William M. Sullivan is co-director of the Carnegie Foundation’s Preparation for the Professions Program. He is formulating a research design for the comparative aspects of the studies, drawing out common themes and identifying distinct practices in professional education. The author of Work and Integrity: The Crisis and Promise of Professionalism in America (2005) and a coauthor of Habits of the Heart: Individualism and Commitment in American Life (1996), Sullivan examined the link between formal training and practical reflection in effective education. Prior to coming to Carnegie, Sullivan was a philosophy professor at La Salle University. He earned a Ph.D. in philosophy at Fordham University.
