When I first started Marywood, I was an unconventional student. I was older, a veteran and a single mother. Everyone from the President down to the staff always welcomed not just me but also that my baby. There were times I had to bring her to classes with me and my professors were so amazing! The fact that Marywood had a daycare on campus was a huge selling point to me. I could not have done this without your help! Thank you Marywood.
