΢Ȧ Spotlight: Maryann Toia

January 10, 2019

Mary Ann Toia works as an administrative assistant in the Office of Campus Life and Engagement and oversees Pre-Orientation Programs.

Toia says she was drawn to ΢Ȧ eight years ago by the students and the opportunity to introduce them to the area and outdoors through Pre-Orientation Programs. The programs give first-year students the chance to bond and begin their college experiences with various on- and off-campus excursions (΢Ȧ’s off-campus programs are better known as SCOOP). 

“I love working with my colleagues and the students. I feel like I have my finger on the pulse being around such young creative minds,” she said. “I love the excitement of pre-orientation opening day. The energy from the peer advisors is incredible."

When she is not at ΢Ȧ, Toia can be found outdoors with her family. Some of her favorite activities include hiking, kayaking and cross-country skiing.
