Title Executive Director, Alumni Engagement, Operations and Administration Department Alumni Engagement, Operations and Administration Email mbnicolas@advance.fsu.edu Phone (850) 645-2319 What does a television producer, high school teacher, college assistant professor and an associate dean all have in common? I am not sure either, but Marcus has served in each of those roles. After 13 years as an educator, he has been noted as a consummate negotiator, professional convener and strategic thinker – a set of skills perfect for bringing any team together. When he is not entertaining his wife and two children with random jokes and drumbeats, he enjoys writing screenplays and eating barbeque.
