Summer in St. Mary's

The Graduate Studies staff is settling into our temporary home in St. Mary's Hall. Just like the rest of campus, even in the summer, St. Mary's is hub of activity with an array of camps, classes and workshops. We love to see this energy on campus! Take a walk through the brand-new, not-scary SEPTA tunnel and visit us!


Whether you are taking classes, conducting research, working, traveling, taking a well deserved vacation, or all of the above, I hope you are making the most of your summer! Before we know it, the fall semester will be here. Enjoy these last few weeks.


- Christine Palus, PhD, Dean of Graduate Studies, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
