Manor College (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781467107174)

Established in 1947 by the Sisters of St. Basil the Great, Manor College transformed the lives of generations of students over the last 75 years through its liberal arts and career-focused degree programs. Nestled immediately outside Philadelphia in the bucolic surroundings of Fox Chase Manor, Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, the college initially focused on providing a quality liberal arts education to young women from the Ukrainian American community and the Sisters of St. Basil the Great when it first opened. It blossomed into a dynamic community that championed career-oriented education; promoted its Ukrainian ethnic heritage and Catholic ties; and thrived on the deep and everlasting bond, nurtured through countless academic events and campus activities, between the sisters and their students. The visionary leadership of its nine female and male presidents carried it through important institutional changes, which included building and improving academic and residential structures, becoming a coeducational institution, and modernizing its curriculum with the recent debut of its first bachelor's degree programs.
