We bid a fond farewell to Marianne Adams. Marianne has been teaching at Appalachian since 1982.
As a Dance Studies professor at Appalachian, she has created over thirty-five new courses in the curriculum, directed the dance program, and created the Dance Honors program.
She was a founding member of the Appalachian Expressive Arts Collective from 1996-2014, and served as an Artist in Residence at the European Graduate School for Expressive Arts in Switzerland in 2003 and 2008.
Marianne served as Chairperson of the Theatre and Dance Department from 2007-2015, and was a co-creator/director of the Appalachian Pilates Teacher Training Program from 2004-2024.
We wish her the best as she moves on to this next chapter in her life.
