Lardieri-Wright described Dr. Marbach, who is provost and vice president for academic affairs at La Salle University, Philadelphia, as a “respected scholar, an entrepreneurial thinker, and a proven consensus-builder.”
The Philadelphia native began his career as a political scientist at Temple University, Philadelphia, and later joined Seton Hall University, South Orange, where he was a professor, chair of the department of political science, and dean for the College of Arts and Sciences. He has been at La Salle since 2010.
“The breadth of experience he brings to the presidency will benefit Georgian Court now and into the future,” said Lardieri-Wright, who also paid tribute to the contributions of the Sisters of Mercy, and credited them with laying the foundation for GCU’s success in coming years. “Their influence is enduring, and their work continues in each of us as we begin this new chapter in our own history.”
