Marian University’s Ancilla College in Plymouth has appointed Dr. Natalie Tucker, current department head of agriculture, as the new MUAC dean of academics. Tucker will succeed Dr. Gay Lynn Crossley, who will return to the university’s Indianapolis campus to serve in the office of the provost.
“Dr. Tucker’s extensive experience in guiding collegiate programs makes her a clear fit to lead academics at Marian University’s Ancilla College,” said Joseph Heidt, chancellor of MUAC. “Through her leadership and commitment to excellence in teaching and scholarly activities, our students will graduate as transformative leaders who are prepared to serve in our community and beyond. I look forward to Dr. Tucker’s future impact on our campus and Northern Indiana.”
The university says Tucker has served as department of agriculture head and assistant professor of agriculture at MUAC for six years, providing administrative leadership, developing curriculum, and teaching a variety of undergraduate courses in agriculture.
“I am very honored and humbled to serve Marian University’s Ancilla College in this role,” said Tucker. “Being able to work closely with staff, faculty, administration, and regional stakeholders to carry on our mission and values with clarity, integrity, and momentum in this leadership role is a very exciting opportunity that I look forward to embracing.”
Tucker will officially take over the role in June.
