Dr. Harold Baillie, Ph.D., Provost & Vice President for Academic Affairs
"Our campus has changed dramatically over the last few years, a sprint forward in what has been a long period of significant campus development. More subtle are the transitions in curriculum and faculty. In the last five years, thanks to growth, attrition, and a window-plan to assist senior faculty into their retirement, The University of Scranton has hired more than 100 new faculty." -
Elise Gower, International Service Programs Coordinator
"The International Service Program engages students in living our Jesuit and Christian mission. As we continue our efforts to enact faithfully the call to be men and women for and with others, we foster a growing relationship with our international community. It is this relationship that is defining to the mission-based service that we offer as an enriching experience for our students." -
