In May 1979, Marcia Schlissel was hired to handle the growing course registration. Marcia brought a new character persona to AVS; outside work, she was a singer in a band and she eventually left AVS in 1990 to pursue this second career. Marcia’s every day dress was, however, representative of her other avocation and usually made an impact in the eyes of students registering for courses! She was also a very efficient and helpful member of staff and was probably the best proof reader AVS has ever had.
