General Counsel and Title IX Coordinator | Profile |
The roots of the Northern Pennsylvania Regional College begin with a group of four highly motivated and engaged professionals working with postsecondary education in Northern Pennsylvania. Dr. Richard McDowell, Dr. Fran Grandinetti, Ms. Deborah Pontzer, and Ms. Helene Nawrocki saw the need for accessible and affordable postsecondary options for young people and adults in the more rural areas of northern Pennsylvania. Senator Joseph Scarnati saw the value of these efforts and supported a feasibility study of postsecondary education needs in this region.
Student success is the focus and measure of everything we do. CWU educates students from all corners of the state. Our name is regional, but our students are not. Students choose CWU to avoid the anonymity of big schools. Our students live and learn on a close-knit campus in an historic college town. Classes are small enough that professors know students by name and engage them directly in research as undergraduates. Students choose CWU for programs that are among the best in the nation—geology, education, business, aviation, music, and accounting. They also choose CWU for programs that simply don`t exist anywhere else in the region—wine business, sports marketing, and paramedicine. Wildcats are everywhere. CWU reaches out to students across Washington state at campuses co-located with community colleges. Our dual admission program places students on track to complete a bachelor`s degree as soon as they are admitted into a Washington community college. CWU`s online virtual campus provides students of all ages and from all walks of life a chance to learn online.

Approximately 5,000 students from 35 states, 46 countries, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico are enrolled at the University`s six schools. The University was founded in 1942 in the scenic shoreline community of Fairfield, Connecticut. Fairfield University is committed to encouraging diversity in its student population and dedicated to the notion of cura personalis - a commitment to caring for the whole person, body, mind and spirit. Put it all together and you get an inspiring education that prepares you for an inspired life. At Fairfield, we`re committed to every aspect of your education, including what happens after you graduate. We want to provide you with a return on your investment by helping you find a career you`re passionate about pursuing. The Career Planning Center offers many services to assist students and alumni at any stage of their career development process and maintains strong partnerships with companies that regularly hire Fairfield graduates. Fairfield’s campus is conveniently located an hour from New York City, two hours from Boston, and 30 minutes from Stamford and New Haven, Conn., allowing students to seek internships and employment in a variety of locations. After graduation, students join a strong network of 40,000 successful and passionate Fairfield alumni. In fact, last year’s post-grad summary reported that 98% of the Class of 2013 were employed, in graduate school, or in a volunteer or service program within six months of graduation. They and all alumni are welcomed back to campus as a member of the Fairfield University family, and invited to join one of 10 alumni chapters and regional groups across the country.
