HR News RBS Mourns the Loss of Marcie Werner As you all know, we lost our dear colleague and friend, Marcie Werner, this past July. Marcie had served as the program administrator for the online Governmental Accounting Program for the past seventeen years. Her husband, the late Robert Werner, was instrumental in establishing the program at RBS. Over the years, I could see how she wanted to keep his memory alive by making sure that she helped our students succeed. I have been so touched by the many notes I have received from our students and alumni on how much they appreciated her friendly voice and assistance. I will certainly miss my dear friend, Marcie. - Irfan Bora, Director of Master of Accountancy in Governmental Accounting I met Marcie when I began working at Rutgers many years ago. We’ve always been suitemates. Marcie was not just my co-worker; she was my friend. I spent many mornings standing in her doorway, just chatting. We talked about everything from our kids, our love of QVC, recipes (and eating...she loved eating), problem-solving for our programs, Rutgers football, her mom, and so much more. I can’t imagine going back into the office and Marcie not being there. I could not possibly express the immense loss I feel because it’s simply too much for me to articulate. But I will say this, Marcie loved 3 things for sure, 1. her son Jonathan, 2. her husband Bob, and 3. Rutgers. She was highly committed to the Governmental Accounting Program, and RBS will feel the loss of such a committed and dedicated staff member. Marcie was one of a kind and will be missed by many. – Trudy-Ann Hewitt, Sr. Program Coordinator, MACCY FInancial Marcie was my next door neighbor on the 5th Floor of 100 Rock. There was not a day where we didn’t kibbutz about our families (especially our sons), general Rutgers business, or just life in general. Some days when we were both very busy, I would just say, “Hi” and ask to use her pencil sharpener since it was the only one on campus. Some days, we would speak for an hour. I was shocked to find out that she had been sick for a long time. It was heartbreaking to know I will no longer be sharing stories with her. But I will always remember the good ones. I will miss her !!! - Evan Wasserman, Assistant Professor, Accounting & Information Systems
