Mary Morton, associate dean of the College, has accepted
a position as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at
the University of Dayton. Morton, who received her Ph.D.
in biochemistry from Dartmouth Medical School in 1988, was
an NIH postdoctoral fellow at University of Washington.
Arriving at Holy Cross in 1991 as a Charles A. Dana Faculty
Fellow, she recently served as science coordinator—a
position in which she organized the summer undergraduate
research program and oversaw the science and mathematics
partnership between Holy Cross and the Worcester Public Schools.
A member of the Society for Neuroscience, American Society
for Cell Biology, American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular
Biology, and the Council on Undergraduate Research, Morton
has served on outside review committees for biology departments
since 1994; she has also been a frequent member of NIH and
NSF grant review panels since 1993.
“Dayton is very fortunate to have recruited Mary for
this position,” says Stephen C. Ainlay, vice president for
academic affairs and dean of the College. “During her
time at Holy Cross she established herself as one of our
most effective teachers, a productive scholar and an effective
administrator. During her time in the Dean’s Office,
she brought imagination and dedication to her work, and it’s
been my great privilege to work with her.”
