Faculty perspective

"I feel honored to be on the faculty at UD. It is truly my home. It is a privilege to teach for the Department of English and work as an administrator for the College of Arts and Sciences. I am blessed to have spent the formative years of my adult life on this sacred space. I only hope to impact my students and colleagues in the same spirit of the Marianist charism as they have me."
