Colleen Doci, Ph.D. is a Marian University Shining Star as the first ever Career Champion Celebration award winner! The Exchange, a student career exploration and development center, recognized Dr. Doci in November 2022. She was honored as one of the strongest faculty and staff partners from the fall semester, which is saying a lot, since there were many. Dr. Doci, who specializes in cancer biology, has extensive teaching and research experience focused on engaging students.
"We had an opportunity to provide a short presentation where each member of The Exchange shared one of our favorite partnerships during the past semester before awarding Dr. Doci for her student-focused efforts,” said Jenny Morris, executive director of The Exchange. Morris said not only has Dr. Doci built one of her courses with tremendous collaboration with their office, but she’s also been a sounding board for trying new things and ensuring student's needs are met. Congratulations, Dr. Doci!
