A MENTORING APPROACH As a University of Scranton professor, Dr. Dan Haggerty, 2018 Teacher of the Year, most enjoys time spent with his students.

On collaborating with students
On a Jesuit education
“As a result of our smaller class sizes, we really get to know our students as individuals. We’re able to take the time, in the classroom and through mentoring, to help them find their way and develop their unique interests and abilities. We become deeply invested in their success.”
“In other places, faculty might take the attitude that the research they’re doing is the all-important thing, and their students are lucky to sit at their feet and assist them. Here, faculty have their research programs, but we also help students to discover what their interests and passions might be. We help students develop their own research and guide them along the way.”
“Since the beginning, Jesuit education has balanced an education in the humanities with a practical orientation to turn out educated people who could make positive, meaningful contributions in the world. The University of Scranton is a broad and deep education, a whole education, that lives up to that ideal.”

THE GENESIS OF A RESEARCH SCIENTIST
Matthew Reynolds Class: 2018 Majors: Biology and Biophysics Hometown: Apalachin, New York
After he graduates from a fully-funded graduate program at The Rockefeller University, Matthew plans to pursue a career as a research scientist. In both his majors at Scranton, biology and biophysics, he combined rigorous learning in the classroom with a wide range of high-level research experiences. Matthew was also the recipient of a prestigious Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship.
On individualized attention “Because classes are small, professors can give individual attention to students and challenge them at the appropriate level. The friendly relationships with professors, and with students, allowed me to thrive.”
On pursuing research “I began doing research in the spring of my freshman year. That experience led to a competitive summer internship with the Wadsworth Center, a part of the New York State Department of Health. There, I researched flagella and algae. I also researched yeast in collaboration with the research group at the South China University of Technology. We were able to have our research published in a peerreviewed scientific journal.”
On further research experience “On my return to Scranton, I was able to continue my summer research project, collaborating with my mentor at the Wadsworth Center and a professor at The University of Scranton. We sent research samples to the group in China and communicated with them over Skype. This work led to two additional research internships at the Wadsworth Center.”

On the real-world emphasis “In the Kania School, we didn’t always go by the textbook. Whether it was professors sharing their professional experiences, breaking away from the classroom to watch a Federal Reserve announcement in the Alperin Financial Center or, for me, my summer internship with the Merrill Lynch Wealth Management Group, it was all about practical application.”
On the Alperin Financial Center “The Alperin Financial Center is an absolutely incredible facility. The Bloomberg terminals are a huge advantage, as they provide current information on market news, statistics and trends, as well as current events that are affecting business around the world.”
On tools for success “Every tool to help you succeed is at the Kania School. The school offers different events almost every week.

She is currently studying physical therapy at Baylor University.
On passionate teaching “You can tell that the professors love what they’re teaching. Their passion really comes through in the classroom, whether they’re talking about their own research or just presenting material in class. You can see it in how they teach—they get so excited about things!”
On Leahy Hall “Leahy is one of my absolute favorite buildings on campus. I love how you can walk into some of the rooms and not even realize that you’re in a classroom. It feels like a real workplace or a professional setting. I feel so fortunate to have been able to learn in that type of an environment, with all of these resources and technologies and research labs. It’s amazing.”
On community based learning “A really cool thing about Panuska College is that we participate in community based learning each semester. It’s an opportunity for students to step outside of their comfort zone and serve in a way that they might not otherwise do. It definitely helps us to put into practice what we learn in the classroom.”

A LARGER PERSPECTIVE Philippines
Adrian Laudani engaged in two very different global experiences while at Scranton. She spent the spring semester of her sophomore year studying in Rome, Italy. A year later, she took part in an international service trip to Guatemala.
On studying abroad “During my study abroad, I was able to set out from Rome and travel all across Italy — to Florence, Venice, Milan, the Italian Alps and more. Being able to experience all these different places, the different cultures, the people and their day-to-day lives — it’s a very different experience than learning about them in a textbook.”
On serving abroad

“In the summer before my senior year, I traveled to Guatemala as part of Scranton’s International Service Program (ISP). We worked with an after-school program, hanging out and playing with children. We also went out into various villages, helping to paint and fix up houses. The service experience certainly made me rethink my role in this world.”
On lessons learned “After graduation, I decided to do a year of service with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, working with refugees in Atlanta, Georgia. Through my travels abroad, I’ve experienced what it’s like, in a sense, to have to transition into a new culture. These experiences have inspired me to want to reach out and help others to navigate their way.”

MAKE CHANGE THROUGH ACTION
ENGAGEMENT WITH A PASSION Fahad Ashraf knows well the benefits of involvement and leadership. As a double major, double minor, student government president and orientation assistant, Fahad made the most of the immense opportunities that await all students on Scranton’s campus.
On getting involved “There are so many ways to get involved on campus — from clubs and organizations to intramural sports to all kinds of student activities. Being a part of such an active campus gives you
every opportunity to become the best version of yourself by meeting new people, developing new skills and becoming a more well-rounded person.”
On nervous beginnings “Entering Orientation before my first year, I was nervous, not knowing how I would fit in at Scranton. However, the Orientation leaders made me feel immediately at home. I was so inspired by the experience, I later applied and ultimately joined the team as an orientation assistant.”
On pursuing leadership “Becoming a leader on campus has really helped me to grow. I had to put myself out there, not always feeling comfortable, but through these experiences — Orientation team, Student Government, student organizations and more — I’ve grown into a confident person who’s unafraid to step out and do things. I’ll no doubt benefit from these experiences long after I leave Scranton.”

ADVENTURE BEYOND THE CITY
THE SCRANTON LIFE Jessica D’Aquila found the city of Scranton to be an ideal location. With its vibrant downtown and close proximity to New York City and Philadelphia, along with its surrounding nature areas and activities, Scranton proves to be the perfect place for city and nature lovers alike. She is currently in graduate school in Scranton.
On favorite local hangouts “I’m a foodie and Scranton has amazing restaurants — such as Thai Thai Scranton (best pad thai in the city), Pizza by Pappas (pan-style pizza), Bar Pazzo (incredible Italian) and Terra Preta Prime (farm to table, very fancy; perfect for when the family visits!). For coffee and hanging out, you’ll always find other students, and faculty too, at Northern Lights and Adezzo.”
On big-city access “With New York City and Philadelphia just a couple of hours away, students are able to take advantage of excellent internships, not to mention incredible entertainment. The University is great about offering students reduced tickets to Broadway plays, and even providing the bus ride.”
On the great outdoors “I’m a super outdoorsy person and Scranton offers so much. Nay Aug Park is a beautiful park where you can hike, walk and bike. I love skiing at Montage Mountain (less than 20 minutes away) and Elk Mountain ( just 40 minutes). When I’m not hiking or skiing, I’m often kayaking on the nearby Delaware and Lackawanna Rivers.”
