The Growing Importance of Community and Professional Partners

What motivates the Panuska College of Professional Studies is dedication to the people we serve -- our students, our alumni and our community. In this issue, you will see evidence that the faculty, staff and students of PCPS at The University of Scranton believe that our work is only germane to the degree it contributes to our local, state, national and international communities.

As you read the following pages, note that we have devoted our energies to spreading thanks to our professional boards, our advisory boards plus the numerous field, clinical and internship sites that strengthen our many initiatives.

In this increasingly competitive global economy, human resources are a country’s most valuable resource. It is without doubt that education is the most important means for developing these resources.

Our Catholic and Jesuit tradition provides an Ignatian legacy that goes far beyond the founding of the Jesuits. The programs in PCPS connect this distinctive style and tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola that helps us find God in all things.

In deepest gratitude,

I am,

Debra Pellegrino, Ed. D., Academic Dean of PCPS

P.S.

Fall in Love

Attributed to Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ (1907-1991)

Nothing is more practical than
finding God, than
falling in Love
in a quite absolute, final way.
What you are in love with,
what seizes your imagination, will affect everything.
It will decide
what will get you out of bed in the morning,
what you do with your evenings,
how you spend your weekends,
what you read, whom you know,
what breaks your heart,
and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.
Fall in Love, stay in love,
and it will decide everything.
