Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been made a dame, one of the country's highest honors, for her service to the nation during some of its greatest challenges in modern times, including leading the response to the 2019 terrorist attacks and the Covid-19 pandemic. Ardern's appointment was announced by Prime Minister Chris Hipkins, who succeeded her as leader of the Labour Party. Ardern's time in power was defined by multiple crises, and she quickly became a progressive global icon remembered for her empathy while steering New Zealand through these crises. She announced her resignation in January and will head to Harvard University this fall to complete two fellowships.
