Excerpt: Regan Crotty ’00 will serve as Princeton’s new dean of undergraduate students, according to a University announcement made July 15.

Following that role, she was Interim Executive Director for Planning Administration in the Office of Vice President for Campus Life (VPCL) where she managed travel oversight, supervised ROTC and Outdoor Action, and represented the VPCL on various committees.
