After college, she moved back to California. Lucy was offered a job at the University of California at Berkeley. In just a few years, she became the first female dean of women and a professor. Lucy worked to create educational and social opportunities for women during this time. She spent nine years total at Berkeley and was the Dean of Women for six of those years.
