A new era begins at Holy Family University |
|
To capture the atmosphere on the first day of classes on August 30, below is an excerpt from Dr. Prisco's letter to the campus community:
"As I walked across campus this morning, the energy was palpable. Of course this year, the sights and sounds of a vibrant campus life are especially significant as they mark a return to being together after more than a year of virtual engagement.
"Throughout the past 18 months, while our community was largely off-campus, the University used this time to enhance the campus experience for all. From upgraded technology in each of our classrooms, to the Sister Maureen McGarrity, CSFN, PhD Center for Teaching & Learning Center for Teaching and Learning, and of course, our brand new turf field –Holy Family has invested not only in ways to keep our community safe, but in ways to keep our community thriving, engaged, and successful in pursuit of educational excellence."
