Gray
named associate dean for faculty affairs
By Kimberly Leydig
“We are most pleased that Diana Gray has accepted this position. Her background and communication skills will be an incredible asset to this office,” said William A. Peck, M.D., executive vice chancellor for medical affairs and dean of the medical school. Peck announced Gray’s appointment last month. In her new position, Gray will work with department heads and faculty to achieve a consistent, supportive working environment by collaborating with department heads to achieve seamless communication between administration and faculty. “I’m working toward a gender -neutral environment and striving to increase gender and ethnic diversity at all levels,” she said. She also added that she’ll work with department heads to assure equitable compensation and promotion policies to sustain outstanding researchers, clinicians and teachers. “I’m eagerly anticipating the challenges and rewards my new position will bring,” she said. “I look forward to working closely with faculty, department heads and division chiefs to enhance quality of life and productivity for all faculty.” By overseeing annual reviews, Gray will ensure that junior faculty receive the appropriate mentoring that is essential for long-term professional development. The position also includes maintaining and distributing policies to faculty and representing the medical school at committees and conferences relevant to faculty policies and development. In addition, she oversees orientation events for new faculty members and initiates forums on faculty development. Gray has been an elected faculty representative to the medical school’s Faculty Practice Plan Board of Directors since its inception. She is co-master of the Cori Society and an appointed member of the Governor’s Genetic Disease Advisory Committee for the State of Missouri. Since its inception, Gray has been active in the Academic Women’s Network, serving on the board of directors and as president in 1999. She also was the former division director of genetics and ultrasound in the ob/gyn department and director of prenatal genetic services for Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Gray earned a bachelor’s degree in 1977 and her medical degree in 1981, both from the University of Illinois. After completing a residency in obstetrics and gynecology and fellowships in OB/GYN ultrasound and in medical genetics at the medical school, Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children’s hospitals, she continued in the department as an instructor. She later received a joint appointment in radiology in 1990. She is also a diplomate of both the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Board of Medical Genetics. “The past 20 years of career association with the medical school, and the time devoted to departmental administrative, faculty leadership and advocacy roles provide a strong foundation for my new position,” Gray said. |
