Lorraine Marra

Lorraine Marra, coordinator of student activities and a familiar face to thousands of Union students, is retiring this year after thirty-five years of service.

Marra began at Union as a temporary worker in the Annual Fund office. She did so well she was asked to stay, and in short order she moved into student activities. “Her energy, enthusiasm, and helpfulness have gotten countless students through an amazing variety of difficulties, and we are going to miss her tremendously,” said Fred
1l ford, dean of students.

Marra still keeps in touch with many of the students she has come to know over the years, and she loves hearing about their lives and achievements. She plans to travel and do volunteer work, and adds that she's willing to help out in student activities “if they need me.”

Other employees retiring this year include: 

  • George Richards, director of personnel; 
  • Rita Michalec, secretary of the History Department; 
  • Nancy Angus, administrative assistant in the Office of the Dean of Students; 
  • Jeanne Cutrone, executive secretary in the Office of the Dean of Faculty;
    Jack Hogle, department assistant in physics; 
  • Linda Cutler, counselor; 
  • Esther Lindemann, night cleaner.
