Hunter College is pleased to announce that the McNulty Foundation has established the Anne Welsh McNulty Chair of Science Innovation and Leadership at Hunter.
With the support of Hunter and the Foundation, CUNY has named Dr. Mandë Holford, a pioneering marine biochemist at Hunter and the CUNY Graduate Center, as the inaugural holder of the McNulty Chair.
The McNulty Chair recognizes a prominent scientist, who has distinguished themselves through their teaching, research, scholarship, entrepreneurial activities and partnerships as well as, awards and grants. Importantly, they have demonstrated a deep commitment to advancing women in STEM fields throughout their career. This is the first chair for a scholar at Hunter dedicated to outstanding leaders in science and, as a named professorship, is the highest honor the college can bestow upon a faculty member.
