The American College of Bankruptcy and the Library of Congress have tapped University of Houston Law Center Dean Nancy B. Rapoport for two distinguished posts.

In March, Rapoport will be inducted as a Fellow of the American College of Bankruptcy, where she will join distinguished bankruptcy professionals who set standards of achievement for others in the insolvency community.

“I’m thrilled to be inducted as a fellow of this distinguished organization, and I look forward to working with some truly legendary people,” Rapoport said.

Rapoport also has been selected to serve on the Library of Congress’ Advisory Committee for its project, “The Birth of the Dot-Com Era.” The project will preserve at-risk digital materials from the American business culture during the early years of the commercialization of the Internet.

Other committee members include Geoffrey Hazard, the Trustee Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School; Robert W. Gordon, the Chancellor Kent Professor of Law and Legal History at Yale Law School; and Richard Painter, the Guy Raymond and Mildred Van Voorhis Jones Professor at the University of Illinois College of Law.

“I still can’t quite believe that I get to hang with such cool folks,” Rapoport said.

Rapoport also has been appointed to serve on the city of Houston’s Pension Governance Advisory Committee.
