Mary Jo Vivian is a long-time employee of Iowa
State University, most recently in the Dean's Office in the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. She retired in June 2005.
Mary Jo is a true heroine. She raised a family of five children
on her own during an era when single-parent families were not
as common as they are today. Like everything she does, she did
that in style. At the same time, Mary Jo went back to school,
completing her bachelor's degree in English in 1974.
During her career at Iowa State, Mary Jo has worked in several
campus offices. At each and every one, she brought a professionalism
that was unmatched. In the LAS Dean's Office we will miss her
sense of humor, piercing wit and wonderful lunchtime stories
that always brought a smile to our faces, if not a rip-roaring
laugh.
