Maryly Van Leer Peck (June 29, 1930 – November 3, 2011) was an American academic and college administrator.

However, at that time, the male-only Georgia Institute of Technology was the only school offering engineering, and even though her father filed a case on her behalf, she didn't have an option but to spend a year at Duke, before transferring to Vanderbilt University in her sophomore year, so that she could major in chemical engineering.

[6][10] While working on her master's degree, Peck started tutoring older students in math-related subjects.

[4] Peck maintained close ties with the Society of Women Engineers throughout her career and was the National Chair of Student Affairs.

After her parents successfully lobbied to admit the first women into Georgia Tech, Peck complimented this victory with setting up a SWE chapter and support network on campus.

During this period, she would become the first woman dean of the College of Business and Applied Technology at the University of Guam, and would help them create numerous 4-year programs.

In 2005, Peck received the National Community Service Award from the Daughters of the American Revolution organization.

[19] After her retirement in 1997, Peck served as the headmaster of the Episcopal All Saints' Academy and later joined the board for the Vanguard School.
