College Announces Position Realignment, New Hires
The e-mail that went out to students, faculty, and staff today was actually kind of funny to me, considering I was just about to contact Dr. Pastoor about the hiring process for the Assistant Director of Student Activities and Greek Life. But we all got that information today…and more.
In brief, here’s the entire list of changes and hires:
- The Office of Residence Life is now the Office of the Dean of Students
- Bruce Peterson is now the Dean of Students, and is the go-to if Dr. Pastoor (VP of Student Life) is not around
- Ellen Campbell is now the Assistant Dean of Students
- Leslie Yetter was hired as an Assistant Dean of Students
- Amanda Mullen was hired as a Residence Hall Director, and will work with Yetter
- Erica Knuckles was hired as a Residence Hall Director, and will work with Campbell
- Jason Gepperth was hired as a Residence Hall Director, and will work with Campbell
- Jacob Tidwell was hired as Assistant Director of Student Activities and Greek Life
- Linda See is now working on the Marietta College Parent & Family Organization, no longer responsible for housing coordination
- Chief of Police will be named soon
Obviously, the biggest news is that they found the replacement for the Assistant Director of Student Activities and Greek Life position. Tidwell is an Eastern Carolina University graduate who has been working for the school. According to his Facebook profile, he is a brother of Beta Theta Pi, and serves as their chapter advisor. He has a BS in Business Administration and his MBA. Tidwell replaces Allison Toney, who resigned in June to take a position at the University of South Carolina.
The new Residence hall Director hires were needed after Tara Kurilchick and Ricky Ciccone departed. Amanda, Erica, and Jason all have the Masters in Higher Education, and in Leslie’s case, previous Residence Hall Director experience. The e-mail did not list who was going to be in charge of each Residence Hall for the coming year, but we are working to obtain that information.
The Chief of Police remains MC’s only major hole left to fill. Dr. Pastoor said that all three candidates have been to Marietta for interviews, and that a decision should be made soon.
Keep with Writing on the Mall as we work through all of these new people. We are working to try to get them all to introduce themselves through here.

"Pioneer Pledge" To Replace College Creed
The Marietta College Creed may be getting a completely new face next year. A new “Pledgeâ€Â has been proposed to replace the Creed currently in use. If President Jean Scott approves the changes, the new pledge could be ready for Matriculation this fall.
The proposed changes have been in development for five semesters. A faculty member on the campus life committee showed how a similar pledge at another university helped make them stronger and give them an identity.
Vlad Grecu, a senior and member of the campus life committee, believes that the proposed Pledge could have the same effect on Marietta College students. “More than anything, it gives identification to what a Marietta College student is. It shows what character we want to show through the people in our college.â€
