William Timothy Hogan (February 4, 1933 – June 28, 2017) was an American scholar, professor, and mechanical engineer who served as the first chancellor of the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Having begun his career as a professor with the engineering department at the Lowell Technological Institute, Hogan became president of the University of Lowell in 1981, and later chancellor in 1991 when the school merged into the University of Massachusetts system. Prior to academia, Hogan worked in several manufacturing and engineering companies, and was a special-skills draftee into the US Army as an engineer at their Rocket Development Center. Hogan retired as chancellor in July of 2006, and moved to Mobile, Alabama, where he would later die in 2017.
Early life
Hogan was born in the Lower Highlands neighborhood of Lowell, Massachusetts on February 4, 1933 to father Timothy and mother Catherine Hogan ( née Barrington). [1] [2] He attended Saint Peter's Grade School and later received a high school diploma from Keith Academy, a private Catholic school in Lowell, in 1951. [3] [4] To fund his post-secondary education, Hogan was employed during his childhood delivering newspapers, and was admitted to Northeastern University's class of 1955 as part of a work-study program. He graduated that year with Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. [1]
Engineering and military career
Hogan was conscripted for military service in 1956, the year following his graduation from Northeastern. Due to his educational background in engineering, and his knowledge of rockets, he was assigned to the 9330th Technical Service Unit at Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, Alabama. This unit consisted predominantly of college graduates in structural, chemical and/or mechanical engineering fields. [5] The 9330th was lead by a team of German experts in rocket design, including Wernher von Braun. [6]
