January 26, 2009

 

Beth Wolfe is Marshall University’s new director of recruitment.

 

Wolfe leads the Office of Recruitment, which is responsible for planning and coordinating both undergraduate and graduate recruiting efforts. She has served the College of Science and College of Information Technology and Engineering as coordinator of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) outreach since 2006. Prior to that position, Wolfe taught English and chemistry at public schools for seven years in Bloomington, Ind., as well as in Charleston, W.Va., for one year.

 

“Although I left teaching when I came back to West Virginia, I never lost the drive to work with students. This position is a way to combine my passion for working with young people and my love of Marshall University,” Wolfe said.

 

“I am excited about the opportunity to help young people find their niche here,” Wolfe said. “I know personally what it’s like to be a student here and I don’t want anyone to miss out on such an amazing opportunity.”  

 

Dr. Gayle Ormiston, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, said he is excited for Wolfe as she starts her new work for the university.

 

“We are indeed fortunate to have someone with Beth’s passion, experience and love for Marshall University in this position,” Ormiston said. “Her vision to spread the word about the opportunities that await students here is insightful. Her experience as an educator in public schools will serve her well working with the bright young minds we want to attract to our campuses.” 

 

A native of Virginia, Wolfe grew up in Montgomery and St. Albans, W.Va., and received her bachelor’s in education from Marshall University in 1998. She is on track to complete her master’s degree in engineering management this spring.
