Alumni Spotlight

Lori Dagger, Ph.D. Student at the University of Pennsylvania

"My time at Nazareth was vital to my professional and personal development: the history professors challenged and encouraged me to push beyond mere requirements to pursue history for the sake of history itself and, through a series of meaningful experiences, launched me on the path toward my current academic pursuits. An independent study with Dr. Lappas, for example, provided me with an opportunity to travel to Philadelphia and acquaint myself with the world of archival research. That experience brought me to Philadelphia and it is one of the key reasons why I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Philadelphia today."
