At Towson University, my Web site includes resource information and links for academic advancement. There is a focus on promoting an enlightened electorate through education in the humanities, in keeping with the Philosophy of Liberal Arts Education at Towson: "Excellence at Towson University begins with its commitment to a sound liberal arts education for every student. All students explore the historical development and interrelationships among the four central areas of knowledge (fine arts, humanities, science and mathematics, and social and behavioral sciences), and how each of them addresses the world, investigates, reaches conclusions, and presents findings—extending the reaches of human knowledge. The university helps all students develop a range of intellectual skills that will continue to enrich and shape their lives long after their formal education has ended."

"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.
This makes it hard to plan the day." (
E.B. White)

"The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves
they find their own order … the continuous thread of revelation." (Eudora Welty)
