Marsha started with Adrian College in the summer of 1989. Since then she has worked primarily with development and alumni relations. In 2005, she was asked to serve as interim director for the transition period when the College presidency was changing. In 2006, President Docking asked her to continue, less the “interim” title, which she gladly accepted, “This is such an exciting time at Adrian, I want to help alumni reconnect with their alma mater. It’s not just about the College offering events and services. It’s a reciprocal relationship where alumni become active participants in the future of the college and its students. Alumni are fundamental to the success of this institution.”

Marsha began her bachelor’s degree at Michigan State University but finished as a non-traditional student at Adrian College in 2000. She and her husband, George, live near Grass Lake in Jackson County, and have three grown children.
