Janet McCabe '76 Tapped for EPA Position
Janet McCabe '76 has been nominated as deputy administrator for the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), the No. 2 position within the agency. McCabe is the second NCS graduate to be named to a position in President Joe Biden's new administration, as Susan Rice '82 was chosen in December to lead the White House Domestic Policy Council.
While at NCS, McCabe participated in gymnastics, softball, Glee Club, and orchestra. She also wrote for NCS's literary magazine, Half-in-Earnest. After NCS, McCabe went on to earn her BA in classics from Radcliffe College in 1980, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and was awarded the Richardson Bequest for Excellence in the Classics. She received her JD from Harvard Law School in 1983 and clerked for Justice Neil Lynch of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court starting in 1983.
McCabe served as assistant secretary of the Massachusetts EPA and air director of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management prior to joining the US EPA in 2009 as principal deputy assistant administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation. From July 2013 to January 2017, she served as acting assistant administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation, and after leaving government, McCabe became the director of the Environmental Resilience Institute at Indiana University and a law professor at the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law.
We are thrilled to celebrate this exceptional achievement from Ms. McCabe!
