Jenny McNulty came to Alaska in 2021 to serve as the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at University of Alaska Anchorage. Before that, she spent 25 years in “big sky country,” as a professor and administrator at University of Montana. She majored in both chemistry and mathematics at Providence College, graduating in 1985, then earned her master's degree in mathematics at Stony Brook University, and her Ph.D. in Mathematics in1993 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She taught for a number of years at University of Montana before transitioning to associate dean in UM’s College of Humanities and Sciences in 2010. She held that position for eight years before becoming the interim dean and then transferring to UM’s Western campus to serve as the interim provost for a year before accepting her current role at UAA. In 2018, she traveled to the University of Gondar in Ethiopia as a Fulbright Scholar, working with mathematicians there on curriculum design, mentoring a new group of female faculty with little prior teaching experience that the university had recently hired.
