Good morning and welcome to the Diamond City of Wilkes-Barre, PA and to this special gathering of its very own Wilkes University. I am pleased and humbled to have all of you here, especially those of you who traveled some distance to be here today. It means a great deal to Wilkes University and to me. Thank you very much. Let me also thank in a special way my greeters – colleagues and friends all – for their kind words of support. Before I go any further, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce my family who is here today. First, please welcome my beautiful wife of 17 years, Amy. Amy agreed to pick up and move to Northeast Pennsyl- vania eight years ago so I could pursue a dream to work in higher education. I probably shouldn’t state this so publicly, but I owe you. Next, I am pleased to have here today the part of my life of which I am most proud, my children: my girls – Grace and Molly – and my boys – Jack and Brian. Molly, my 11 year old, took me aside this summer and told me: “Dad, I would like to be known as the “president’s daughter.” What about Grace I asked? “She can be known as the president’s daughter’s sister.” I am thrilled to have both of them here.

  • Download Downtown Scranton Landmark Buildings and Historic
    Downtown Scranton Landmark Buildings and Historic Districts Introduction Historic preservation in Scranton arose from a grass-roots movement in the late 1970's in response to serious threats to the late nineteenth/early 20th century fabric of the city, including the most significant and defining landmarks. Initial responses were in protest of demolition, but the main emphasis was on education and the development of a sense of pride in Scranton's unique architectural expression of its industrial boomtown history. The Architectural Heritage Association (AHA), founded in 1978, worked with the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Association to create the Lackawanna Avenue Historic District, with the intent of seeing the then decaying commercial district retained and revived. In the 80s and 90s, redevelopment came to Scranton, but with the mixed blessings to the National Park Service, who intended to create the Steamtown Historic Site, and the Steamtown Mall developers, who intended to demolish most of Lackawanna Avenue. Local politicians and the press were strongly in favor of building the mall, even though it meant moving out active businesses, gaining control of the properties, and destroying historic structures. The architectural firm involved in the demolition of part of the Lackawanna Avenue Historic District to build the mall in 1992 failed to follow the process for altering nationally registered historic properties. That failure allowed the AHA to file a lawsuit. After several years, the court issued mitigation avenues: the 500 block of Lackawanna Avenue would not be demolished or included in the mall, the Oppenheim and Samters Buildings would be adaptively developed as office structures, the AHA would receive a cash settlement to assist in future preservation advocacy, and the City was to appoint a preservation specialist and establish, by ordinance, a Historical and Architectural Review Board (HARB).

  • AJCU Presidents' Statement – January 2013
    AJCU Presidents’ Statement – January 2013 e, the undersigned presidents of Jesuit colleges and universities, support the following statements in regard to the presence of undocumented individuals as W students within our institutions: First, that Catholic Social Teaching is clear in its insistence that every human person deserves dignity and the opportunity to better one’s state in life. Catholic Social Teaching supports the solidarity of interdependence and interconnection within the human community that allows a human being to flourish intellectually, socially, and spiritually. We oppose public policies that separate human families living peaceably in our midst, especially those involving students and/or minors, and urge all citizens to recognize and support those inhabitants of our nation who seek to contribute more fully to civic life and the common good through education and personal development. Second, we recognize that the history of Jesuit institutions of higher education in this country is inextricably linked to first- and second-generation immigrant populations. Our schools have in the past been unique places of opportunity for some of the most disenfranchised and marginalized members of American society. Our own 2010 AJCU mission and apostolate statement makes clear that we “prioritize the education of these often vulnerable and underserved students,” as does the same year’s vision statement of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, in which we, as member institutions, “stand in solidarity with migrants, regardless of their immigration status.” We pledge to continue to respect this tradition and to foster cura personalis, care for the entire person, as a hallmark of our institutions of learning.
