Senior Trustee Jane Moorman ’48
Austin College senior trustee Dr. Jane D. Moorman ’48 died July 8, 2017, in Oakland, California, at the age of 88. She served as an active member of the College’s Board of Trustees from 1971 to 1996, chairing the Academic Affairs Committee of the Board for 15 years.
A native of Sherman, Jane was part of a very influential family in the history of Austin College. The daughter of Elizabeth and James Bolling Moorman, a long-time dean of the College, Jane went on to become a noted educator and professional in her own right, always a woman ahead of her time. Upon graduating from Austin College, she earned a master’s degree at the University of Missouri-Columbia and a Ph.D. at the University of Kansas-Lawrence. Prior to completing her Ph.D., she served as associate dean of students at Austin College. Later, she taught and worked in leadership roles at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and at Barnard College before concluding her career at the University of California-Berkeley. She was director of counseling and psychological services at that university for several years before retiring.
Dr. Moorman’s professional career garnered many awards, including Austin College’s Meritorious Service Award and Distinguished Alumni Award. She also was keynote speaker at the College’s Founders Day celebration in November 1984.
