Marion Schrank

Query re Marion Schrank, was she first woman VP in SUNY? Not sure about that, no way to know really, but did share that:


Marion (Turturro) Schrank was Class of 1969. She worked at the college from 1972-2002. She worked in Student Affairs in various capacities and in 1986 was made the Assistant VP for Student Affairs. I really can’t say if she was the first in SUNY, but she would have been an early such office holder. She was active in many other areas as well, e.g. chair of the campus committee on women’s issues etc.

Update: I'd forgotten this, but Ken O'Brien and Bruce Leslie mentioned a Vera King Ferris, who was probably the first woman VP here, in the 1970s. She seems to have left c1979 when there was a big administrative reorganization.
