I came to St. Francis College in 1978 to Chair the newly formed (and later renamed) Health Promotion Department and received tenure in 1983, one of the first three tenured women at the college and the first woman to receive the Distinguished Faculty Award from the Alumni Association. I accepted it with appreciation to all the other women who have blazed trails.
Since joining the college I have served as Assistant Dean for the Division of Sciences & Allied Health and Director of Pre-Medical Advisement, taught several specialty courses (Healing and Wholeness, Women’s Health Issues, and Women Growing Older), taught Women in the Arts and Sciences and Healing in a Cultural Context for the Honors Program and presided over the senior Seminar in Bioethical Issues.
