Greetings, Friends!

On July 1, the Marywood English Department officially merged with the Department of Foreign Languages. We are genuinely excited about the ways that this change will enhance curricular and extracurricular offerings for all our majors.

Our offices will be in the former English Department suite in LAC 217, and former Foreign Languages secretary Peggy Leombruni will be serving the new, merged department.

Please "like" or "follow" us on our new page, "Marywood University Department of English and Foreign Languages." And enjoy the rest of your summer!
