The End oft e
Marchetti Era
by Matt Harris
,Since 1981, Dr. Joseph
J. Marchetti has faithfully
served the faculty and stu
dents of the Penn State -
Hazleton Campus. Originally
given the tttle of Assis
tant Dean of Student Af
fairs, he subsequently had
his title changed to Assis
tant Director of Student
Programs and Services by
the administration at Uni
versity Park. Through the
years, Dr. Marchetti has
been a key link in the pro
gressive success of the
campus, focusing most of
h4s attention on the social
aril academic achievements
of tts students. However,
this will no longer be the
case.
As of November 30th,
1985, Dr. Marchetti will no
longer be serving the
Pennsylvania State Univer
sity. ite will be taking
over the position of Dean
of Students at Richard
Stockton State College, a
four-year college with ap
proximately four thousand
students, located in
Panona, New Jersey.
Dr. Marchetti's out
standing record eras proba
bly the major factor that
enabled his to receive the
position. He received a
Bachelor of Arts degree in
Psychology and Biology and
a Master of Science degree
in Education While also
obtaining a Pennsylvania
State Teaching Certificate
in Secondary Education from
Wilkes College. He later
obtained a Doctor of Phil
osophy degree In Organiza
tional Leadership, Curricu
lum, and Instruction from
the Graduate School of Edu
cation at the University of
Pennsylvania, with a con
centration in leadership
training and administra
tion. As far as his experi
ence is concerned, Dr. Mar
chetti has served as Assis
tant. Dean of Students at
College of the Holy Cross,
Worcester, Massachusetts;
and as Director of Housing
at Wilkes College,
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
During a recent inter
view, Dr. Marchetti ex
pressed both his excitement
and sorrow on accepting.his
„, new position.
"I'm very excited about
starting my new posieion,"
he said. "It's a new atmos
phere for me, and it feels
good to be able to face nt4
challenges. I am very
thankful to have been given
the opportunity to work at
Holy Cross, Wilkes College,
and especially Penn State.
It'll be difficult Leaving
this campus because I've
grown very fond of it, its
faculty, and the quality of
its students, but life
moves on and so do people."
Currently, the Univer
sity does not have a re
placement for Dr. Marchet
ti. An appointment commit
tee will be established by
Dr. William J. David, Cam
pus Executive Director; and
Joseph McCallus, Director
of Student Programs and
Services, in order to find
Dr. Marchetti's replace
ment.
