MARY ANN CARROLL
Dr. Carroll became ISU's Assistant Dean of Graduate Studies in 1964 and was promoted to Dean of Graduate Studies in 1976. She also served as Director of Research and as a professor of education. She provided exemplary leadership to ISU for more than 30 years and during her noted career, that leadership role extended far beyond the confines of the campus.
A national leader in graduate education, Carroll served as president of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, a not-for-profit accrediting agency. She also held various leadership positions with the council of Graduate Schools, the Graduate Records Examinations Board, the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools and the Indiana Association of Graduate Schools. In addition, she was involved with the National League of Nursing and the National Association of Industrial Technology in developing accreditation procedures for those fields. By being involved with these national organizations, it meant Indiana State's ideas could be a part of the national discussion on policies about graduate education.
Dr. Carroll's involvement in the creation of doctoral programs is one of her many accomplishments and helped to really change Indiana State from a college to a university. This move brought about a significant change in the expectations for faculty. It also brought students to campus from all over the country. According to Dr. Carroll, the move into graduate education changed ISU in far more ways than simply adding programs.
As director of research, Carroll was responsible for securing external funding for the university. Grants and contracts went from $800,000 when she was appointed dean to more than $5 million upon her retirement.
Dr. Mary Ann Carroll received the Distinguished Alumni Award in 1996.
