| Scott Marsigli Director of Freshman Advantage E: esmarsigli@ncwc.edu P: 252-985-5259, Office E |

Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Scott spent most of his life in the Rocky Mount area. After graduating from Rocky Mount Academy, he attended North Carolina State University and obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in English with a concentration in Journalism. This was followed shortly thereafter by a Master of Arts Degree in English from East Carolina University, this time with a specialization in Creative Writing. In 2000, Scott accepted a position at North Carolina Wesleyan College as an Adjunct English Instructor and Professional Tutor in the College’s Writing Lab. Working closely with freshmen in their English Composition classes provided him with a strong belief in student advocacy and a sincere desire to help students achieve academic success. In 2003, Scott accepted the position of Pre-Major Advisor and coordinated the WesBridge conditional-acceptance program. This eventually led to his current appointment as Freshman Advantage Coordinator, another selective program for incoming freshmen.
"There are two things I really love about Wesleyan,” he explains. “First, I love the fact that it is a small school with a more personal feel. Second, I love the people, from the staff and faculty members to the students. Wesleyan is unique in that it allows for a greater sense of community than students at larger colleges might experience.”
Off campus, Scott enjoys spending time with friends, watching movies and working on seemingly endless creative projects, most of which involve either screenwriting, graphic design or desktop publishing. His favorite films include Pulp Fiction, Ocean’s Eleven, The Usual Suspects and almost anything from Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, M. Night Shyamalan or Quentin Tarantino. Scott is also a student of pop culture and loves to immerse himself in television (“Lost”), music (reggae & ska) and other entertainment mediums.
