Biographical Note

Sally Alicia Lied was born on June 21, 1939 in Ephrata, Pennsylvania. After attending elementary and high school in her home town, in 1957 she entered Stetson University in DeLand, Florida as a history major. Upon graduation in 1961, she enrolled in the student personnel program at Indiana University. She received her MS in Education in 1963. While completing her degree she was employed as a resident assistant and an assistant head counselor in the Indiana University residence halls. During the summers of 1962 and 1963, Lied assisted Dr. William Martenson with the psychological assessment component of training for Peace Corps volunteers at IU. From 1963 to 1965, she served as assistant dean of women at Denison University in Granville, Ohio, where her main responsibility was freshman women's affairs. In 1965 she returned to Indiana University to begin work on her doctorate and to serve as associate head counselor of John W. Foster Quadrangle, a position she held until June 1967. At that time she was appointed director of the Foster Project and head counselor of Foster Quadrangle. She served in these positions until January 1969, when she entered VISTA (AmeriCorps Volunteers In Service To America). Lied also served on the Indiana staff of Robert F. Kennedy's presidential campaign in 1968. In September 1969, she was employed as administrative assistant to the director of the Foster Project. Her classroom teaching experience includes two summers as a social studies instructor for Upward Bound and three experimental courses on the topics of racism and poverty for the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University. In July 1970, she was appointed to the position of outreach director for the Monroe County Community Action Program. She then entered the Indiana University School of Law and obtained her JD in 1974. In 1975 she was Assistant Deputy Secretary of Education for Pennsylvania, the first woman to hold that position. She was promoted to Deputy Attorney General in 1978. She continued to practice law in Pennsylvania until her retirement.
