Marye Anne Fox, a tough-minded chemist who guided UC San Diego through eight often difficult years of growth as the school’s chancellor and who was awarded the National Medal of Science for her insights about sustainable energy, died Sunday at the age of 73.
Fox passed away at her home in Austin, Texas, after a long illness, according to a statement by North Carolina State University, where she served as chancellor prior to moving to La Jolla.
She was the first woman chancellor at NC State and the first woman to to hold that position as a permanent appointee at UCSD. The titles meant a great deal to Fox, who spent much of her life promoting the interests of girls and women.
