This signature program has led to dramatic increases in both graduation and retention rates at a time when the percentage of Dominican University students identifying as ethnically diverse has increased by nearly 30 percent.Prior to joining Dominican, Marcy served as provost of Bard College at Simon's Rock and vice president of Bard College. Born and raised in western Nebraska, Marcy received her Bachelor of Arts with honors from the University of Nebraska.
