Biography

Grover C. Stephens was a founding faculty member in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of California Irvine. He was the first chair of the Department of Organismic Biology, later named the Department of Developmental and Cell Biology. He also served as Dean of Biological Sciences in the mid-1980s. He was a comparative physiologist whose research focused on small marine invertebrates.

Stephens was born in 1925 in Oak Park, Illinois and later received his Ph.D. from Northwestern University. His first academic appointment was at Brooklyn College, followed by a professorship at the University of Minnesota prior to moving to the new UC Irvine campus in 1964.

Professor Stephens died on June 17, 2003. He was survived by his wife, Ann Doyle Stephens, and his sons Peter W. Stephens and John D. Stephens.
