The 1889 Foundation recently awarded $25,000 to Saint Francis University in support of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. The program makes books available to children in Cambria County from birth to age five and is entirely free for families regardless of income.

In the year since the program started in Cambria County, the university has placed 12,640 books into the hands of 1,686 children.

Healthcare professionals from 12 counties attended “An Interprofessional Interactive Gross Dissection Laboratory Experience: From the Forearm to the Digits,” a free professional development seminar held at Saint Francis University on July 18 and 19.

Each year Colleges of Distinction hand-picks a selection of top schools that are well equipped to provide a personalized education catered to students’ interests and once again Saint Francis University has made the cut!
