The Cosmetology students at the Susquehanna County Career & Technology Center held their annual “Pink Out for Breast Cancer Awareness” October 23-26, 2017. Elk Lake Elementary students were treated to pink glitter, pink hair gel, nail polish, hair braiding and fun tattoos for a small donation.

The money raised this year totaled $1,375 which is the highest total to date. Each year the Cosmetology Department contributes the money raised from Pink Out to the American Cancer Society. Dr. Alice M. Davis, Executive Director of the SCCTC, pointed out how important this yearly fundraiser is to the school and the community.

Amanda Marcy of Clifford Township was among the first cohort of students who began the new doctor of business administration (DBA) at The University of Scranton this fall semester.

The University's DBA program, with a concentration in accounting, was developed to provide experienced practitioners with a practical pathway to an academic career. The program offers participants flexibility, while still providing for the development of the knowledge and skill set necessary to become a "scholarly academic" - one who is qualified to teach at a school of business that possesses or is seeking formal accreditation by Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International).

The DBA program is housed in the University's Kania School of Management, which is accredited by AACSB International. It is the third doctorate-level program offered by the University, which also offers a doctor of physical therapy degree (DPT) and a doctor of nursing practice (DNP).

The University welcomed to campus the first cohort of students enrolled in the new doctor of business administration (DBA) program. First row, from left: Douglas M.
