Very sad news. Dr. Martinello was the visionary for our IDS degree. Her passion for teacher education was evident in her efforts to increase students' knowledge regarding inquiry which led to the Martinello Award which given to IDS students who excel in their inquiry projects.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

She will be missed.

Dear COEHD Faculty and Staff,

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I am called upon to inform you that we received a message this morning from Dr. Gillian Cook (retired faculty member) that Dr. Marian Martinello passed away this morning.

As some of you know Dr. Martinello was a faculty member with the College of Education and Human Development since 1975.  After her retirement in 2000 she returned to serve as our Acting Associate Dean for Research in 2009/10.  Her professionalism, kindness, and enthusiastic spirit will be greatly missed.

 

Best Regards,

 

Karen P. Hoskins
