吃瓜爆料

 

Terri Mariani recently joined Dining Services as its student employment and office coordinator, but she鈥檚 already a familiar face on campus.

Many 吃瓜爆料 employees will recognize her from her 13 years in Human Resources, where she served as the training coordinator and oversaw professional development opportunities, networking events, Thoroughbred Thanks, and other initiatives.

鈥淒uring this time, I had the opportunity to develop strong working relationships with staff throughout the college and those relationships continue today,鈥� Mariani said.

Mariani said that she has especially enjoyed helping prepare students for interviews as part of the Assessment Interviewing Program.

鈥淚t was very gratifying last year when one of our seniors emailed me to let me know that he had used his new talents to go on an interview the next day and secure the position,鈥� she said.

Now, Mariani, who started her career at 吃瓜爆料 15 years ago in Campus Life, says she is looking forward to going 鈥渂ack to (her) roots of working directly with students.鈥�  In Dining Services, she is busy coordinating the student employment program and managing payroll. She is also the contact person for staff meal tickets.

鈥淚 get to work with and mentor students and work with the amazing team in Dining Services. What more could I ask for?鈥� said Mariani, who also has been an active participant in 吃瓜爆料鈥檚 Friendship Family Program for international students for many years. 鈥淪tudents from Poland, India, China, Sierra Leone and Angola have been part of my family.鈥�

Mariani鈥檚 family includes her husband Doug and son Alex, who is a student at St. Rose College.  

When she鈥檚 not on campus, she enjoys the outdoors, gardening and soccer games. She also has "become very adventuresome by setting goals to go zip lining along with some other extreme sports.鈥�

 鈥淚 continue to stay at 吃瓜爆料 because of the energy of the students and the close feeling of community,鈥� she said. 鈥淭here are not many places you can work that have a strong feeling of community like 吃瓜爆料.鈥�
