“In her leadership positions at 成人抖阴and beyond, Dr. Egan is a role model for many of our students and faculty alike,” said 成人抖阴President Carolyn Ringer Lepre, a previous Maryland’s Top 100 Women honoree. “Her hard work in the Fulton School and the Communication Department, and with students at every level, is reflected in the success of the many students and alumni she has mentored throughout her 成人抖阴career.”

She has earned the University’s Distinguished Faculty, Outstanding Research Mentor and President’s Faculty awards, as well as the President’s Diversity and Inclusion Champions Award, Student Government Association Outstanding Faculty Award and 成人抖阴Alumni Association Faculty Appreciation Award.
Beyond campus, she has received the University System of Maryland Board of Regents Award for excellence in mentoring and the International Leadership Association’s (ILA’s) Women and Leadership Outstanding Practice with Local Impact Award. She is a 2021 graduate of Leadership Maryland.
Egan is the chair-elect of the ILA Public Leadership Community and the ILA conference chair for leadership development. She has 40 academic publications and 50 popular press articles on communication, leadership, and culture. She is co-editor of the book Pathways into the Political Arena: The Perspectives of Global Women Leaders. She also co-edited a special issue of Merits international journal on “Changing Realities for Women and Work” and is co-editing the ILA book series Transformative Women Leaders.
