Hoopes Prize, and was elected Phi Beta Kappa before graduating in 1998. The Harvard Crimson wrote of Kleiner's thesis that "in the world of Hoopes Prize winners, one thesis surpasses all others with 192 pages of pure writing," noting in 199 that Kleiner was "on the rise in L.A., on the way to becoming a big-shot," while his advisor Patrice Higonnet called Kleiner "one of the most gifted undergraduates I have seen in my thirty-odd years as an instructor in our university."
