Associate Director of Student Health Services Stacy Ware promoted to director, available hours for doctor appointments set to increase
Associate Director of Student Health Services Stacy Ware has been promoted to director after previous director Mark Jenkins (Will Rice ’83) left after 17 years in the position and nearly 25 years at Rice University.
Jenkins, who was also the associate team physician for NCAA sports at Rice and chair of the Institutional Review Board, will become the executive director of the Hall Health Center at the University of Washington. Total available hours for doctor appointments will increase under Ware’s leadership.
Ware has been at Rice since 1998, when she was hired as a staff physician. Staff physician Jessica McKelvey (Will Rice ’93) has been promoted to associate director, and a search has begun to hire a new physician.
