@NASPAtweets Learn more about about Dr. Cross' significant contributions here:

At the 1966 conference, E. G. Williamson announced, "I am pleased to be the first President-Elect to ask a woman Dean to serve on the Executive Committee of @NASPAtweets, Patricia Cross. She is here, and I hope this is the beginning of the opening wedge."

Dr. Cross began her career in student affairs as assistant dean of women at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and then dean of students at Cornell University.

We are saddened to learn of the recent passing of Dr. K Patricia Cross, professor of higher education, emerita, at the University of California, Berkeley on May 8.
