Marcie has worked at Indiana State since October
1987. Most of that was part-time, as she watched her
kids grow up. In 2006 she became a full-time
employee. Her work in the Alumni Office is varied.
In addition to normal secretarial duties, she’s
coordinator of the ISU License Plate Program and the
monthly Emeriti Luncheons. Marcie is involved with the
planning on Homecoming and Reunion activities. She’s the first
person you meet when you visit the Alumni
Association. She enjoys watching sports, especially
NASCAR. Her favorite driver is Tony Stewart…another
Hoosier with an attitude. Marcie enjoys spending
time on a quiet beach or in a loud casino full of
slot machines. She’s been married to Tim Bays since
August 1987. Tim graduated from ISU in May 1987. Her
children are: Kyle (18), a cross-country runner at
Terre Haute North, and Chelsea (15), a softball
player who attends Terre Haute North as well.

Prior to joining the Foundation, Jen, as friends call her,

Human Resources, Training, and Education. Inspiring people
to become involved in the life of ISU comes easy to Jen.
She says "her roots are firmly planted in Terre Haute" since
arriving here 12 years ago. She and her two sons
Grant, 17 and Cam, 11, enjoy the excitement of the cultural
and athletic events the university offers.
