Regan Crotty ’00, Princeton’s former director of gender equity and Title IX administration, has been named the new dean of undergraduate students, the University announced in July. The previous dean, Kathleen Deignan, retired in January.
Crotty spent a decade in administrative roles at Princeton before leaving in 2022 to serve as assistant general counsel at Morgan Lewis, a law firm with offices in Princeton and more than 30 other cities worldwide.
Crotty said in a University release that she was excited to return to student affairs and lead an office that “plays a critical role in ensuring that all of our students feel that they belong at Princeton.”
The Rev. Alison Boden retired in July as Princeton’s dean of religious life and the chapel, after 17 years of providing support for faith-based student groups and all 17 campus chaplaincies, including the Hindu and Muslim chaplaincies that were added during her tenure. The Rev. Theresa Thames, associate dean of religious life and the chapel since 2016 and an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church, succeeded Boden on Aug. 1.
The University also announced that Andy Cofino, the former program coordinator for Princeton’s Gender + Sexuality Resource Center, joined the Office of the Vice President for Campus Life in January as the inaugural vice president for diversity, belonging, and well-being. Cofino will oversee diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives across campus.
