Mary Ann Misener

“Working on a campaign was exciting, and a lot of work,” said Mary Ann. “I had the chance to meet and work with so many generous members of the community – it was a great way for me to reconnect with the community after living away. It also gave me a solid understanding of the work of the Foundation and the impact it has on our students.”

After taking a couple of contract positions at the college, Mary Ann found her home in the Marketing and Communications department, where she has been since 1999.

“Holland College is like a family – the people here are my work family,” said Mary Ann. “I couldn’t ask for a better place to work and I feel lucky to be able to say that.”

For Mary Ann, the Holland College Foundation is a giving priority because she believes that if everybody can give a little, it can make a big difference in the lives of our students.

“Donating to the Foundation is a great way to give back,” said Mary Ann. “If I can help even one student, that’s worth it to me.”

Mary Ann’s husband Greg is also a member of the Holland College alumni family. He graduated from the Atlantic Police Academy in 1989. Greg is a police officer with Charlottetown Police Services, and he and Mary Ann live in Brackley with their daughter, Lauren, who is studying at UPEI. While much of their time as a family is spent between the rink, the soccer turf, and the rugby field, if you’re looking for Mary Ann on a warm summer day, you will likely find her at her “happy place” – the beach!
