As an independent university, Mars Hill depends heavily upon the support of alumni and friends in order to upgrade facilities, enhance educational programs, maintain a faculty of the highest caliber, and still educate students at costs they can afford.
We’re getting ready for an exciting Homecoming 2023. Check out the schedule and other information as it become available on the Homecoming page.
Kellye Smith Ratcliff of Greenville, South Carolina, is Mars Hill University’s 2022 Alumna of the Year. The university honored her during homecoming festivities with a dinner in her honor and a presentation at halftime of the homecoming football game.
Ratcliff is a graduate of the class of 1986 and is a member and former president of the Mars Hill University Alumni Board. She also served on the Presidential Search Committee and currently is serving on the steering committee for the Together We Rise capital campaign for a new campus center.
Ratcliff earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in management and went on to earn an M.B.A. from Western Carolina University. She and her husband, Michael, own and operate a commercial cleaning and floor service company in Greenville and in the Williamsburg/Hampton/Newport News area of Virginia. The couple have three children and seven grandchildren.
We look forward to introducing you to the 2023 Alumni of the Year at Homecoming in October.
