Mary O’Neil Mundinger is the dean of the Columbia University School of Nursing, and centennial professor in health policy. She’s a graduate of the University of Michigan, Teachers College at Columbia University and the Columbia University School of Public Health.

She is a third generation Irish American who traces her roots to County Mayo. Mundinger, a married mother of four, has visited Ireland three times.

“My Irish background is a source of great pride; reflecting on the abilities of my ancestors, and celebrating transmission to me, in particular my love of literature and writing, family devotion and community values,” Mundinger says.
