Dear Campus Community,
I’m sad to announce that Dr. Dianne Horgan has decided to retire from her incredibly successful career as Professor of Family and Consumer Sciences and Associate Dean in the Graduate College. We’re relieved to announce, however, that she has agreed, after some arm-twisting, to stay on as a part time consultant to the Graduate College in matters of curricular affairs and data management.
The Graduate College is pleased to announce that six graduate students will be receiving the prestigious Marshall Foundation Dissertation-Fellowship for final-phase dissertation support. In addition to a stipend from the Louise F. Marshall Foundation, each student will receive a tuition scholarship for two semesters from the UA Graduate College.
This year’s recipients are:

RICHARD A. HARVILL GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP
The mission of the Richard A. Harvill Endowment is to perpetuate knowledge of Dr. Harvill, who served as UA president from 1951 to 1971, a period in which UA began its furious post-war enrollment growth, and the institution took its place among the leading research universities of the west.
