In 2014, Attorney Lori became a member of Marywood University’s Board of Trustees and two years later appointed Chair of the Board. She is committed to further expanding Marywood’s scope of influence in higher education so that a broader range of students can come to know and love the University as much as she does. Working diligently to advance Marywood’s life-changing mission, she collaborates with campus and community partners to ensure that Marywood University is a leading academic institution for today’s students and future generations, as well as an economic engine for the region.
