After working in higher education for more than 34 years, Dr. Anne Gormly announced that she will be stepping down as Dean of the College of Social Science, Math, and Education.
In an announcement sent out on Tuesday Jan 31, Gormly says, “Today I informed the Provost of my intention to step down as Dean of CSSME effective May 15 of this year. This will allow me to spend time in support of my family and friends who have been so important and supportive to me over the years.”
Gormly began working at the University of Tampa on July 1, 2008 when she was appointed as the Dean of the College of Social Science, Math, and Education. According to the University’s directory, “she is the author of a textbook on lifespan human development and worked for 17 years as a therapist.”
In her announcement, Gormly explains, “As it happened, I lost a dear friend to cancer just after the new year; this was the second friend of mine to die this year. On a happier note, some of you know that my husband and I are anticipating the birth of our third grandchild. Some of you also know that it was the birth of our first grandchild that brought me to The University of Tampa. Now it will be my family again that will take me away.”
