Adrienne Morgan, vice president of the Office of University Engagement and Enrichment at the University of Rochester in New York, has announced she will retire at the end of 2026 following nearly three decades of service to the university.
Dr. Morgan was first appointed to her role on an interim basis in 2022. A year later, she was officially named vice president for equity and inclusion and the Richard Feldman Chief Diversity Officer (Her title has since been changed to the Richard Feldman Vice President of Engagement and Enrichment).
Prior to her current administrative position, Dr. Morgan was senior associate dean for equity and inclusion for the School of Medicine & Dentistry. She also directed the school’s Center for Advocacy, Community Health, Education, and Diversity for 20 years. Dr. Morgan is an associate professor in the department of health humanities and bioethics, the School of Nursing & Health Sciences, and the Warner School of Education & Human Development.
“It has been an honor to be part of the University of Rochester. So much of who I am took shape here,” said Dr. Morgan. “I have never believed this work belonged to one person or one office. I’m proud of what we accomplished together, and I leave knowing that the commitment to making every member of this community feel welcomed and supported now lives in many hands across the University.”
Dr. Morgan received a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She holds a master’s degree in cross-disciplinary professional studies from the Rochester Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in higher education from the University of Rochester.
