Matthew Toth, associate dean for student development, retired in June after 36 years at Holy Cross.
After receiving his Ph.D. from Ohio University, Toth came to the College in 1970, seeking a high quality academic environment that would provide him the opportunity to exercise his commitment to counseling students. He served as director of the counseling center until 1997, when he became the acting vice president for student affairs. In 1998, he was named associate dean for student development; in that capacity, he has been responsible for overseeing the departments of career planning, the summer internship program, health services, wellness programming and the counseling center. Toth was also the architect of the College’s postvention crisis and catastrophic response, which has received national recognition as a model plan.
During his tenure, he developed and oversaw the area of disability services and provided the leadership for what is now a well-established assessment program across all departments of student affairs. Over the course of his employment at Holy Cross, Toth taught a number of courses on moral development and ethics.
He and his wife, Mary, are the parents of four children. They reside in Auburn, Mass., where Toth has served on agency boards and school committees.
