Commencement Speakers Look Back, Look Ahead For the former President of the University, it was a time to look back. For the current President of the University, it was a time to look ahead. For the 1,044 graduates of the class of 2004, it was the time they had looked forward to. The University’s one hundred and fourth commencement was filled with reflections and celebrations, words of thanks, observations and an invitation. During the Commencement Ceremony, held May 30 at Wachovia Arena, the University conferred 843 bachelor’s degrees, 195 master’s degrees and six associate’s degrees. Rev. Joseph M. McShane, S.J., President of Fordham University and former President of The University of Scranton, gave the principal address. In his remarks to the graduates, Fr. McShane reflected on his years at the University, a timeline that paralleled that of the Royal Class of 2004 from their freshman to senior years. “You are the reason for the sense of joy and honor that I feel at this moment,” said Fr. McShane. “For you see, the fact that I have just become a member of your class makes my heart sing. I am more grateful than I could ever say to be counted among your number.” In recalling the events of September 11, 2001, Fr. McShane commended the students, saying, “…you showed yourselves to be men and women of mature wisdom, deep compassion and strong and steady faith.” In addition to delivering the keynote address, Fr. McShane received an honorary degree from the University, as did Patrick A. Toole, James W. Dyer ’66, Jane E. Oppenheim, Colleen Kelly and William H .Finn ’67, posthumously. University President Scott R. Pilarz, S.J., also addressed the graduates and their families and friends. He offered words of thanks to the honorary degree recipients “who enrich our celebration,”

to faculty who “change the lives of students” to parents and families of graduates and to the graduates themselves “for the mark that you have made on your alma mater.” Fr. Pilarz also offered what he referred to as an observation, noting that “there is something rare and precious about this place (the University).” He concluded his remarks by inviting the parting students to “Take Scranton with you” and to “come home to Scranton.”

“Always view the world and your place in it from the Scranton perspective; let the magis permeate your life and, please, never compromise your commitment to the service of others and the greater glory of God.” Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, S.J. President, The University of Scranton

“Here at Scranton, you have learned lessons and developed qualities of heart and mind that have prepared all of you to participate in the great struggle of our age, the struggle not merely aimed at eradicating terrorism, but of creating a more just and peaceful world.” The University awarded 1,044 bachelor’s, master’s and associate’s degrees during its 104th Commencement.

Students Embark on Service Trips Two Professors The University’s Center for Social Action and Service Initiatives has planned and coordinated four international service trips this summer. Students, accompanied by staff and/or faculty members as chaperones, are traveling to Kenya, Mexico and Ecuador to help those less fortunate. Four students, Anthony Giancatarino, Kate Redmond, Steve Clark and Ann Marissa Ambacher, are visiting Kenya for three weeks in June. Tata Mbugua, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Education, will accompany the students on this first international service trip to her native country. While in

Kenya, the group will be hosted by Hekima College – Jesuit School of Theology, Catholic University of East Africa, Nairobi.

Transitional DPT Degree Being Offered The Department of Physical Therapy at the University has received authorization from the Pennsylvania Department of Education to begin offering the Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. The current M.P.T. program is being phased out and replaced by a three-year, post-Baccalaureate D.P.T. program – the first doctoral-level program to be offered by the University. As the first step in phasing in the new D.P.T. program, the Department of Physical Therapy will launch an entirely Web-based transition Doctor of Physical Therapy (tDPT) degree program designed specifically for practicing clinicians beginning this fall. The tDPT degree enables licensed physical therapists to bridge the gap between their professional master’s degree in physical therapy education and the current entry-level clinical doctorate (DPT) education. The tDPT degree requires 16 credits beyond an entry-level master’s degree in physical therapy. The program consists of four Web-based courses (4 credits each) in the areas of evidence-based practice, pharmacology, pathology and diagnosis. All courses are presented entirely online with optional on-campus discussion/ review sessions offered one or two times each semester. Each course also includes a clinical case-based research component. Applicants must possess a valid physical therapy license and have at least one year of clinical experience as a physical therapist. Applicants with an entry-level bac-

calaureate degree or certificate in physical therapy will be assessed on a case-by-case basis to determine the prerequisites for entry into the program. For more information on the tDPT program, contact James L. Goonan, Director of Graduate Admissions, at 1-800-366-GRAD.
