... urges budget action
Dr. Peter Ward, chairman of the University's
pathology department, has been selected to serve as
interim dean of the Medical School.
Ward, who joined the University faculty two years
ago, will replace John Gronvall, the present dean, on
August 1. Gronvall is stepping down this summer af-
ter a 12-year term as Medical School dean.
A committee, based on recommendations from
faculty and students, will be formed immediately to
conducta search for a permanent dean.
Before coming to the University, Ward spent ten
years teaching at the University of Connecticut
Health Center. He also spent four years as chief of the
immunobiology branch of the Armed Forces Institute
of Pathology.
Ward, a native of Connecticut, received his medical
degree from the University in 1960. After spending
his internship at Bellevue Hospital in New York, he
returned to the University for his residency in
pathology.
The author of hundreds of research articles on
pathology, Ward has served in several national scien-
tific groups. He has been associate or consulting
editor of leading medical journals, and has received
awards for distinguished achievement.
