An eleventh-generation Mainer, Dean Gleason loves water, winter and snow and will forever be a Walrus. She is happiest outside and enjoys all sports and games. She’s a lifelong fan of the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Bears and is an avid pétanque player. She’s an equally avid traveler, but when she must be at home, and indoors, she’s an enthusiastic baker and a determined if amateur musician. She is learning the ukulele.
Angela Gleason is the former Dean of Morse (2017-2023) who earned her B.A. in Philosophy and History from St. Joseph’s College and her Ph.D. in Medieval History from Trinity College Dublin (Ireland). Her research focuses on early medieval legal and social history, as well as modern sports history. Prior to her Morse Deanship, she was a six-year residential fellow of Old Campus and Swing Space. She served on the Faculty Committee on Athletics and was an advisory board member of the Native American Cultural Center.
