Faculty Round-Up
Here at Misericordia we are priviledged to have real world professionals working in all aspects of our department. Each of our faculty members has many years of experience in each of their fields. The professors use this experience to teach students various skills and apply them to real life situations with various personal stories as proof. Our department staff has a very open, honest and personable relationship with each of the students in our department. All of the professors know each and every student if not by face at least by name. We take strong pride in the good relationship our students have with the faculty members. At Misericordia the department is more like a "family" and our doors are always open!
