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.
