She earned her bachelor’s degree from Manhattanville College and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Fordham University. After joining the faculty of Mercy College, she soon found herself serving in a wide variety of administrative positions, among them, Dean of Students and Undergraduate Dean as well as several vice presidencies. However, throughout all her years in administration, Dr. Grow continued to teach and says that her passion was always teaching.
Back in the faculty full-time for the past few years, Dr. Grow, says, “I consider myself fortunate in that I always wanted to be a teacher and the College has offered me that opportunity.”
Mercy College Interim President, Dr. Concetta M. Stewart, says, “Dr. Ann Grow is a true inspiration. No one else in the College’s history has reached the milestone Ann has reached. Teaching was her first and greatest love, and the thousands of students she has influenced are the better for it.”
