Kelli Sholer – Undergraduate Advisor in Anthropology and Sociology

Kelli’s unwavering commitment to student success makes her a cornerstone of the Anthropology and Sociology departments. From Tracy Falk, a colleague from the School of Education: “I can always count on Kelli’s help, her joy, her kindness, and her wealth of knowledge. She is always willing to roll her sleeves up and jump right in wherever there is a need.”

Marji LeGrand – Undergraduate & Graduate Advising Supervisor in Mathematics

Marji’s graceful approach makes her an invaluable resource and a true leader in our advising community. Tina Denena, a colleague in Math, adds further: “Marji is constantly bombarded with requests from students all over campus wanting to take Math courses, faculty who need this, that, and the other thing, and peers who need to be mentored. She manages the onslaught with humor, sprinkled with a little patience. At times, it feels as if she is advisor to the entire campus.”

Join us in celebrating Kelli and Marji—two incredible advisors whose contributions elevate the student experience and inspire their colleagues every day!
