SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — The achievements of four Seton Hall University educational leaders were recognized with their induction into the “Irish Education 100” honor roll at a ceremony in New York City on Dec. 13, hosted by Irish Consul General to New York Ciaran Madden.

Honorees included Deirdre Donohue Yates, founding dean and professor of theater in the College of Communication and the Arts; Phyllis Shanley Hansell, professor and former dean of the College of Nursing; and Hugh Dugan, director of United Nations engagement and adjunct professor of UN and global governance studies at the School of Diplomacy and International Relations. Also honored but not in attendance was Father Brian X. Needles, director of campus ministry and adjunct professor of moral theology at Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology.

This national list, compiled annually since 2009 and published by the Irish Voice, honors prominent leaders in American education, especially at the university level, who are of Irish descent.
