I can honestly say that she has been one of the biggest influences in my professional life. I thought that I was an organized person before I met her, but after working with her, I learned how to take things to the next level. Though we have both moved on to other jobs, I still use the organizational skills that I learned from her and know that I can apply them in every job that I have in the future. I would absolutely recommend working with Marian if you have the chance -- her work is exceptional, and she gives 100% to whatever she does.

Marian Knopp is a unique and gifted administrative guru. Her gifts include the ability to assess systems and make improvements without disrupting the flow of work. Marian handles compliments and complaints graciously, while always moving forward. When Marian is handed a challenge, she works thoroughly and diligently towards a resolution that benefits the stakeholders. Adding Marian to your team adds value beyond compare.

She stepped into a department that had just recently been re-organized, and into a position that had never existed before. It is safe to say that the department was on the brink of chaos. It was in that role that Marian hit her stride. I could never express how much work she did to bring order to chaos. She worked with a committee to create and organize an information platform where every library employee could find the minutes to any department meeting, the policy on any given issue, the how-to documentation to nearly any library resource and so much more. Marian worked tirelessly to understand the college’s many forms and policies and became the go-to person in the department for hiring, marketing, college deadlines on nearly anything and the person able to answer the question, “where are we on this?”
