First I would like to thank Marywood University for giving me the opportunity to foster my education since 1994. I would also like to thank the following professors for their unending dedication to the students at Marywood. Without their help and guidance, my goals would never have become reality...Thank You! The late Sister Robert Ann von Ahnen The late Mr. Robert Blatz Dr. Craig Johnson Dr. Marie Loftus Dr. Kathleen Ruthkowsky Dr. Joseph Polizzi Sister Mary Salvaterra Dr. Lois Draina
