Mary Messimer, Perkins Program Director Retires from MnSCU
After 25+ years of service to Minnesota State Colleges & Universities, Mary is finally retiring to El Paso, Texas to be with her family. She served as a business faculty member, Dean and Vice President at several of our colleges - Anoka Ramsey Community College, St. Cloud Technical College, Ridgewater College, South Central College, Riverland Community College and Hibbing Community College. A strong advocate for career and technical education students, Mary will be dearly missed by everyone. Most of all, we will miss her kindness, compassion, and sassy senese of humor she brings with her where ever she goes.
