With a heavy heart, we share the unexpected passing of Dr. Margie McInerney. A dedicated professor in the Lewis College of Business for over four decades, Dr. McInerney was an award-winning educator, respected scholar, and mentor whose impact on students and colleagues was immeasurable. Her contributions to the management field along with her unwavering commitment to the Society for Human Resource Management, the Department of Management and Health Care Administration, the College, and Marshall University will leave a lasting legacy.

We ask to please consider the family's privacy during this difficult time. Details regarding future services will be shared when available.

On Thursday, February 27th from 11am - 12:30pm, the Student Center for the Public Trust will host a visitation from the CEO and Vice President of Marketing for Joffrey's Coffee & Tea Co. as part of the Guy Spriggs Dean's Speaker Series in the Encova Auditorium!

Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company, established in 1984 in Tampa, Florida, began as one of the state’s first specialty coffee roasters. The company has since expanded its reach, becoming the official specialty coffee provider for Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, and Disney Vacation Club. Joffrey’s is renowned for sourcing only the finest specialty-grade Arabica beans, representing the top 10% of Arabica beans produced worldwide. Their Roastmaster, Chris de Mezzo, collaborates with Disney’s culinary team to create exclusive blends for guests to enjoy. Beyond Disney properties, Joffrey’s products are available in various retail channels, including Amazon, TJX Stores, and grocery retailers. The company remains committed to small-batch roasting, ensuring maximum flavor and freshness in every cup.

Mark your calendars! This event is open to students, staff, faculty, and the community.
