I would like to introduce you to Lisa Marsalek. She is the Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students. She has been at Defiance College for 16 years. She decided to come to Defiance College because she grew up in Holegate. She moved back to Northwest Ohio from Cleveland. She attended The Ohio State University for her bachelor of science in psychology. She also attended The Ohio State University for her Master of Arts in Education and Masters of Labor and Human Resources. Her favorite part about working at Defiance College is working with the students and getting to know the students.

On a more personal note, Lisa Marsalek’s favorite place to travel in Costa Rica. Her favorite summer activity is boating because her family owns a boat. One thing that Lisa is afraid of is alligators. Her first job was as an office assistant for their family business at Wagner Farms and Sawmill.  Lisa was asked to give her own definition of success. She stated that her definition of success is “Making steady progress towards your goals.”
