The School of Education and Human Services wants to make the campus community aware of a need from Michele Marable, PhD, professor emeritus of teacher education, who retired in fall 2017. She was recently diagnosed with brain cancer and is currently undergoing treatments at Roswell Park Cancer Center. She remains positive and upbeat but the process is scary, lonely and grueling.
If you know Michele, we are asking you to write her a note of encouragement. Notes can either be sent to Michele at her home address listed below or by bringing it to the dean’s office (BA 201) and we will send all of them to her. Please give your cards to the dean’s office by Monday, January 27 at 12:00 p.m. so that they are included in the shipment.
Your letters and cards will be a blessing to Michele and her family. Please keep Michele, her husband, Rick, and their two children, Olivia and Julian, in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.
Michele Marable
