Passing of Professor Emeritus Marian Stephenson,


I am sad to inform the college community that Professor Emeritus Marian Stephenson died on Feb. 6, 2014. Marian began her MCC career as an assistant professor in the Nursing department in 1974. She retired in 1999 after lending her dedication and expertise to our students for a quarter of a century.

An active collaborator throughout the MCC community, Marian was promoted to associate professor in 1981. Her dedication to MCC’s students and programs was recognized again in 1990 when she was promoted to the rank of professor. A mentor to many new nursing faculty members, Marian was known to be a guiding force beyond her own department, demonstrating her leadership capabilities on a variety of college-wide committees and serving as an active member on several advisory boards.

Predeceased by her husband Monty Stephenson, Marian is survived by her brothers Paul Howse, FL, and Richard (Ellen) Howse, TN.
