There is probably no office more important to students living on a college campus than the housing and student life department. Students proved this point by voting Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of Housing & Student Life Marcella Snyder as their choice for the 2014 Staff of the Year honor.

Marcella Snyder accepts her award from Student Government Officer Jeffrey Tice.
