McPherson College Renaissance Woman
The longest tenured employee in the history of McPherson College, and a 1948 MC graduate, Dr. Doris Coppock passed away on October 25, 2024.

She was a teacher, coach, mentor, influencer, friend, and supporter to many people throughout her lifetime.
“Doris was a trailblazer,” said McPherson College President Michael Schneider. “She impacted generations of McPherson College students, particularly the women she coached and mentored. Her love of sports and competition was infectious. We will miss her.”
