Bio
Dennis Stack
Marc can do just about anything connected with Residence Life and Housing at a very high level. He keeps up with best practices in Student Affairs, is innovative in his thinking, and follows through on projects. Marc is an expert in developing his staff so that they grow in ability and professionalism. I recommend him without reservation.
Austin Rudd
As a Resident Assistant who worked under Marc for two years, I can speak to Marc's excellence as a manager of his staff and his residence hall. Marc consistently exceeded what was required of him as a director of residence life in terms of building strong relationships with his resident assistants, challenging his staff to think deeply, critically, and openly, while also commanding deep respect from his team amidst his implementation of college-wide residence hall mandates that were not always popular among students or the RA staff. I feel privileged to have worked under Marc for those two years, and I can say that I grew significantly over that time period in large part because of Marc's mentorship and discipline.
