Elliott School Extends Sympathy to Family, Friends of Dr. Janne Nolan
The Elliott School extends its deepest sympathy to family and friends at the passing of our dear colleague, Dr. Janne Nolan.
Nolan was a research professor and led the Nuclear Security Working Group for many years at the Elliott School.
Her lifetime dedication to national and nuclear security and proliferation policy made her an invaluable figure in bridging the partisan divide and contributing to the formation and implementation of a nuclear security policy.
“Nolan’s contributions to nuclear security policy cannot be understated. We will miss her dearly, and her voice will live on and her influence will continue to impact the world,” said Reuben Brigety, dean of the Elliott School of International Affairs.
