Rodney Hargis

Analyst

Born in a small southern town on the outskirts of a smaller southern town, Rodney and his weird southern drawl appeared on the MCCC campus in January 2007 as a student and was hired as a student worker by the Virtual Campus. After graduating with honors, he was hired as Analyst with MercerOnline.

Rodney was instrumental in the migration from ANGEL to Blackboard, is very active in the Blackboard administrators and instructional technology community and has been occasionally freed from his pod to present at regional and national conferences.

When he’s not freaking out about data integrity, ASR queries, Blackboard SIS integration protocols and similar nonsense, Rodney is an amateur ethnomusicologist with a concentration in pre-depression era folk and blues recordings, and a singer/songwriter (much to the annoyance of anyone within earshot).

Jill Marcus

Coordinator II

As Coordinator for MercerOnline, Jill manages day-to-day operations of the office and assists students, faculty and staff with any concerns they may have with their online class or the LMS. In a previous life, Jill sold specialty chemicals for The Rohm and Haas Company, Philadelphia, PA. After retiring from that life, she decided to give higher education a try and has never looked back. Jill enjoys spending time with her family and friends and traveling.
