Dr. Virginia Parks, the first woman to hold a vice-presidential role at Seattle University, died at home in Highlands Ranch, CO, on May 9, after a short illness. Legions of former faculty and students will remember her as a brilliant, tough-minded and incisive problem solver who, early in her career at the university, partnered with President William Sullivan, S.J., to guide the school from financial insolvency to economic vibrancy within the span of a decade. For these and other myriad accomplishments, she has been called “one of the maverick women who shaped Seattle University.” Read more about Dr. Parks’ incredible legacy and impact on our university: https://www.seattleu.edu/newsroom/2025/in-memoriam-remembering-virginia-parks.php (fb)
