Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812, often simply referred to as The Great Comet, is a brilliant, thrilling, and incredibly popular new musical that had a highly succesful braodway run, starrring Josh Groban, from 2016-2017. Author and composer Dave Malloy describes Great Comet as, “an electro-pop opera ripped from a slice of Tolstoy’s War and Peace.” It’s a love story, it’s a coming-of-age story, it’s a midlife crises story, it’s classical, it’s contemporary, it’s new, it’s bold, it’s The Great Comet of 1812! Tickets are $15 for General Admission, $10 for Students, or free with a Marywood I.D. and for IHM Sister. Tickets scan be purchased online at https://marywood.universitytickets.com or in advance or at the door.

Marywood University Student, Former Chamber Intern and Sister Present in San Diego

Marywood senior multimedia communication students Liz and Maddie Adams, twin sisters who co-founded and host the podcast, Courageously Kind, are traveling to San Diego to share messages of kindness and self-esteem with children and families affected by facial differences. Their presentation will take place on Saturday, January 18, at the Girls Scouts of San Diego Balboa Service Center in San Diego, CA.

This effort began after Liz shared her story about her facial disfigurement and condition. She wanted to inspire others to be kind to those who look different. Her twin sister, Maddie, suggested starting a podcast to encourage others to be kind. Courageously Kind got its start as a quarantine passion project while the two Brackney, Pa. natives were still seniors in high school. The initiative has grown throughout their college years to include a worldwide audience of more than 170,000 followers in 70 countries.

Their upcoming presentation, in collaboration with ConnectMed and the University of California San Diego, will seek to equip kids with tools to boost their self-confidence and to share kindness with others in their community. It is a part of a research study led by UCSD and ConnectMed, to show the impact of peer-to peer-support groups on social image, wellbeing, and self-esteem.

Marywood University Partners with PA National Guard to Provide 100% Tuition Coverage for Eligible Students and Families

Marywood University is proud to announce a new partnership with the Pennsylvania National Guard, making it the only university in Lackawanna County to offer eligible students and their families 100% tuition coverage through the Educational Assistance Program (EAP) and Military Family Education Program (MFEP).

The Pennsylvania National Guard’s EAP covers tuition as determined by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), enabling Guard members to pursue their degrees with significant financial support. While the program does not cover all fees, eligible students can benefit by meeting the following qualifications:

  • A six-year service commitment to the Pennsylvania National Guard
  • Active membership in the PA National Guard
  • Enrollment in an approved degree program
  • Submission of all required paperwork through the student’s National Guard unit
  • Submission of an annual FAFSA and PA State Grant Application

In addition, the Military Family Education Program (MFEP) offers tuition coverage and a portion of the technology fee for the spouses and children of Pennsylvania National Guard members. To qualify for the MFEP, Guard members must commit to an additional six years of service, with all documentation submitted through their unit.

With five National Guard units located in Scranton alone and nearly 18,000 members statewide, the Pennsylvania National Guard is the second-largest National Guard in the country. This partnership demonstrates Marywood University’s steadfast commitment to supporting service members and their families while fostering accessible, high-quality education.

“Marywood University is honored to stand alongside our brave Pennsylvania National Guard members and their families,” said President Lisa A. Lori, J.D. “As the only university in Lackawanna County offering this opportunity, we are proud to help local service members achieve their educational goals while recognizing their tremendous service to our state and nation.”

For more information about eligibility and application details, visit marywood.edu/veterans or contact April Paciotti, Office of Military and Veteran Services Enrollment Manager, SCO at adpaciotti@marywood.edu.  

Garden of Cedar Celebrates 2024 Success

The Garden of Cedar’s second year of operations has come to a close. The highlight of 2024 was the commencement of full-scale operations at the Garden of Cedar’s annex located at 921 Cedar Ave. which doubled the capacity of the Garden. Truckloads of topsoil were added during the Spring. Soon thereafter a distribution network reaching out to approximately 100 families was established. During summer, eggplant, tomatoes, and corn were popular. The Indigo Spoon Foundation was back on site with their popular summer lunch program. The employees of Citizens Savings dedicated their harvest to the neighborhood community. 

During the season we experienced growing pains as air bound and ground intruders took a liking to Garden plantings. See damaged corn crop picture. A soil test indicated several vital soil nutrients are needed for a productive 2025 planting season.

Steps are being taken to discourage pests humanely. Natural compost and cow manure will be added to the soil to provide nutrients. Marywood University students designed and built several functional sculptures which will be installed at the Garden of Cedar. The Garden’s annex will get a storage shed. Quality seeds and seedlings will be purchased and the ongoing bills must be paid.   

Best wishes for a joyous holiday season & a Happy New Year!

Marywood University Historian to Present Free, Virtual Talk on “Victorian Vegetarians”

Dr. Adam Shprintzen, a historian of nineteenth century America and Associate Professor of History at Marywood University, is presenting a free, virtual talk for the Maine Historical Society about the history of vegetarianism in 19th-century America on Monday, January 13, at 7 p.m.

Dr. Shprintzen will look at the lively history of early American vegetarianism and social reform. Vegetarianism, practiced in the United States since the country’s founding, has been misunderstood and understudied, especially with regard to the early years of the movement. Through the Civil War, the vegetarian movement focused on social and political reform, but, by the late nineteenth century, it became a path for personal strength and success in a newly individualistic, consumption-driven economy. This development led to greater expansion and acceptance of vegetarianism in mainstream society.

Featured in national publications ranging from the New York Times to Slate, Dr. Shprintzen is a frequent guest on podcasts and radio shows. He is the author of The Vegetarian Crusade: The Rise of an American Reform Movement, 1817-1921. Presently, he is researching the history of the Automat and its place in popular memory.

While the Zoom presentation is free and open to the public, registration is required. This program is offered as a companion to the organization’s exhibit, Maine’s Untold Vegetarian History, which is on view through May 17, 2025.

To register for this virtual event, visit the Maine Historical Society’s event website: mainehistory.org/events/food-of-the-future and follow the registration link.

The latest cohort of TechCelerator @LackawannaCounty celebrated their entrepreneurial journey with a final presentation event held at Marywood University on Wednesday, December 11. Surrounded by local funders, dignitaries, family, and friends, the participants demonstrated the progress of their innovative business ventures developed during the 10-week program.

Bob Durkin, president of The Greater Scranton Chamber, echoed this sentiment, “TechCelerator is a perfect example of what can happen when public and private interests come together. Under this program, the concerted efforts of the Lackawanna County Commissioners, Ben Franklin Technology Partners, tecBRIDGE, and The Chamber have now given a total of 23 individuals and business partners the opportunity to pursue their dreams of business ownership.”

This third cohort featured a diverse group of entrepreneurs, each with a unique vision to address real-world challenges:

  • Don McGowan, The Cusp Club
  • John George, CrasherConnect
  • Eric Farrell, EZ Fantasy Sports
  • Veronica LaRocque, Grow with L.E.A.R.N. LLC
  • Fred Aebli, GetMeCoding.com
  • Justin Byrd, SelfServeMenu.com
  • Joel DeCarli, Apex Innovations

The program provided participants with access to expert mentors, business development resources, and networking opportunities to refine their business plans and pitches. The event culminated in powerful presentations that highlighted each entrepreneur’s vision and progress.

The Greater Scranton Chamber and The County are committed to supporting two more cohorts of entrepreneurs who dream of owning and operating their own businesses in the region.

Marywood University: Summer 2025 Sessions Begins in January

Marywood University is opening registration for its summer courses in January, to give both Marywood students and visiting students an opportunity to review courses and plan ahead for summer during the holiday season.

Registration for Marywood students begins during the week of January 6. Enrollment opens for all students, including visiting students, on January 9. Registration for each session is open up until the start date of that particular session.

Marywood University currently offers three summer sessions for students at all levels of study, consisting of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral courses and featuring online, hybrid, and on-site formats.

Session dates include:

  • Summer I (May 19 – June 28)
  • Summer II (July 7 – August 17)
  • Summer III (May 19 – August 16); this is an extended, primarily cohort-based term.

“Summer courses are an important part of each student’s educational experience, providing options to get ahead, as well as to take, or even to retake, courses that they need to stay on track and improve their grade point average,” said Leslie Christianson, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs & Strategic Initiatives. “In the summer, students can focus exclusively on one or two classes at a time and mitigate the stress that can sometimes accompany the full course load of a regular semester.”

Visiting students are welcome to enroll in summer classes at Marywood, whether for enrichment or for transfer to their home institution. Students who are planning to transfer from another institution to Marywood University in the fall can speak with their advisor about getting a head start on classes in the summer.

To get more information on course subjects/listings, session dates, pricing, and more, visit: marywood.edu/summer.
