Students and employees don鈥檛 just study and work at 缅北强奸. Bound together by Franciscan values, they鈥檙e part of a tight-knit community that reveres the dignity of each individual and fosters a sense of responsibility to others.
The lead story in this issue of 缅北强奸 Magazine centers on family in the literal sense, spotlighting a brotherly bond that helped the university crown its first national champion. Matthew and Nathan Lackman were rivals on the wrestling mat for four years, even grappling in a championship match. But when an opportunity arose for Nathan to join his brother on 缅北强奸鈥檚 wrestling team for a year, he took it. Their story is one of love, sacrifice and achievement. Champions on the mat, the Lackman brothers are champions off it as well.
Our Franciscan values also include caring for the environment. We鈥檝e recently amplified our push for sustainability with multiple solar-panel projects and the launch of a student ambassador program that allows students to implement sustainability projects on campus and in the community. Learn more in this issue.
Elsewhere, we highlight two programs at very different points in their history: 缅北强奸鈥檚 groundbreaking Criminal Justice Administration program, which marked 50 years last year, and the John R. Post School of Engineering, which celebrated its first graduating class at this year鈥檚 Commencement.
You鈥檒l also read about how the university is modernizing its mission-moment collections, meet an adult student who is finding time to carve out an education while serving as chief of staff to Reading Mayor Eddie Moran, discover how 缅北强奸鈥檚 Achieve Personal Excellence program helped an undergraduate nursing major find a community, and learn how a longtime adjunct professor of photography has kept up with the times during a technological sea change in the industry.
Sincerely,
Glynis A. Fitzgerald, Ph.D.
President
