Debra Zarecky<\/p><\/div>\n

Hardly a newcomer to Colorado College, Debra Zarecky started at CC in 2005 as the office coordinator in the Dean of Students Office. After a short stint managing the Chaplain\u2019s Office last year, Zarecky is now the director of parent and family relations.<\/p>\n

A graduate of Allegheny College, a small liberal arts school, Zarecky moved to Colorado Springs from Pittsburgh. With a love for the environment and education of a liberal arts college, she remembers seeing the CC campus and thinking, \u201cThat would be a great place to work . . .\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from her experience in the liberal arts, Zarecky also has a master\u2019s degree in teaching from the University of Pittsburgh. Before coming to Colorado College, she held jobs that included running a desktop publishing company and teaching in Pittsburgh for the federally funded Head Start program for at-risk preschool children.<\/p>\n

In her new role, Zarecky will focus on developing relationships with the families of current students; she will be based in the President\u2019s Office so her work can have a wider scope. \u201cMy job is to facilitate a sense of connection to the Colorado College community for parents and families, whether they live close by or far away,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Zarecky knows what it is like for the families of current students. \u201cI have a daughter who just finished her freshman year in college, so I understand how families of college students operate. I also have a rather comprehensive perspective on the student experience at Colorado College from my previous roles here. I think I can help parents access the resources that will assist them in guiding their students if and when they run into challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
