<p>I received my Masters Degree From the University of Scranton in 1985 and the U. made me the the happy, successful Educator that I am today. Since I commuted, I did not get into the party scene. After 20 years of teaching 7th and 8th grade Music, I was transferred to the Elementary. Wanting latest career trends, I started my adventure at
Villanova and it was/is an adventure in excellence. I have studied with Master Teachers who encourage me to “Aspire to Excel.” (Kenneth Raessler, PhD). The atmosphere is scholarly and because professors give me their best in every class that I have pursued, I strive to give my best to my students. I have acquired 44 additional graduate credits at Villanova U., and after 30+ years in the classroom, retirement is
not for me. When I do eventually retire, I will keep returning to Villanova. Their
cooperative program with the U. of the Arts, Philadelphia is second to none. With the
encouragement of my wonderful husband, I will continue studying. As Dr. Matthew C.
Farrell, U. of Scranton, and the the Jesuits taught me, “Education is a means in itself and needs no apology. Education is life and continues everyday of your existence.”
Villanova is truly unique in their supportive, caring atmosphere. They know me by name and know my style as a teacher because I am given the opportunity to teach in every class for master teachers. Go Wildcats! Go Royals! Thank-you for allowing me
to do “what I love!”</p>
