Carmen Cain, PhD

Assistant Professor of Education, Director of Secondary Education Program, Director of Licensure Track Program

Having been an educator for over 20 years now, my first priority at the University of Mary is to facilitate student learning so teacher-candidates are prepared for the joys and challenges of their own classroom. I enjoy collaborating with an excellent faculty to provide our students with the best education possible.

约瑟夫T. Stuart, PhD

Director of 历史, Professor of 历史, Fellow in 天主教 Studies

I teach in the history and 天主教 studies programs. I believe culture is the driving force of history, and that cult, in the sense of "worship," is the wellspring of culture. 的 vocation of the historian is enriching the world of the present through knowledge and preservation of the past.
