Mark Wirtz, Academic Coach

Office: 111 C

Undergraduate school significantly changed my life by challenging me to think outside the box and explore information and ideas beyond those things I thought I knew. This is one of the reasons why I want to assist students through their time at CSU to achieve their academic goals. 

In line with my interests in labor relations, I serve as a delegate in CSU's chapter of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). I also like to research my family's genealogy, which I have been able to track back to the 14th Century! 

I received my bachelor's degree from Baldwin Wallace University where I focused my studies in political science, history, and communication; and I received my master's degree from Mercer University, concentrating in literary criticism of biblical texts.
