Gratitude

This PERC event couldn’t have happened without the hospitality and generosity of Susquehanna University, its staff and faculty. Thanks as well to the PERC Executive Committee including Dickinson’s Neil Leary, host of the 2014 event and most especially Susquehanna University’s Kathy Straub who offered to host this year’s event, secured our two guest speakers and worked hard to make this event happen. Our gratitude goes as well to all of today’s speakers who took the time to prepare and participate so that we can collectively learn, improve and move forward.
