She has served on the boards of some of the most important organizations and journals in her field, including those of the Catholic Theological Society of America, the Society of Christian Ethics and Concilium, the international theological journal. Ross taught at St. Norbert College from 1980-1983. The Killeen chair was established in 1984 in order to cultivate the college's and the public's awareness about current philosophical and theological issues. The organization prides itself on hosting internationally and nationally known philosophers who speak about relevant issues that impact society as a whole.
