Mary Anderson-Rowland

Associate Dean for Student Affairs of the Fulton School of Engineering

Mary Anderson-Rowland is devoted to changing outcomes for women. In 1975, Mary helped start the ASU student section of the Society of Women Engineers – and for nearly twenty years, she has been involved with the organization as a faculty advisor. In 1993, she instituted the Women in Science and Engineering Center, an organization that runs programs for both female high school and undergraduate students. In 1981, she began the Graduate Career Change Program, which has helped women earn master degrees in industrial engineering. And finally, in the last ten years that Mary has served as Associate Dean of the School of Engineering, the number of women students has increased more than 75 percent. Through dedication and hard work, Mary "provides caring and inspiring leadership for women engineering students on campus."
