Transforming Quote: "Few had the opportunity and privilege of studying under two dynamic individuals as I did at Providence College. Professor Zygmunt Friedemann, chair of the Department of Political Science, and Judge Joseph R. Weisberger provided the kind of intellectual challenges that helped shape my career pathway in community action and health law."
