Anna Maria Moggio: The First Woman at Holy Cross

There is a misconception that women arrived at Holy Cross in 1972.   In fact the faculty went co-ed before that.   Dr. Anna Marria Moggio, PhD, Fordham taught French history and politics there beginning in 1968-69.   After teaching at Holy Cross Dr. Moggio was Adademic Dean of Rosemont College in Pennsylvania for many years. "Dr. Moggio lived an exemplary life devoted to academic excellence and enthusiastically committed to Catholic higher education. She left many friends and colleagues; and cousins in Italy, Australia and Argentina."
