'Mama Maria' to retire from Dining Services

Friends of Maria Iuliano are giving a retirement tribute to the woman known by many simply as "Mama Maria" on Friday, April 29, from 2 to 4 p.m. on the Reamer Campus Center patio.

Retiring after more than 16 years with Dining Services, Maria has been a visible and popular server and cook in Dutch Hollow.

Maria recalled at the recent Employee Recognition Luncheon that she got her nickname – "Mama Maria" – from player and coaches who said she treated them like family.
