FEATURED FACULTY MEMBER
Nicole Gugliucci, Ph.D., Department Chair and Associate Professor, Physics, was featured in the most recent issue of Portraits Magazine's Focus on Faculty.
“Turns out what I like most about science is sharing it with other people. Teaching it, and sharing it with others. … It’s important to me that everyone can feel some connection to science and see that it is understandable, it is reachable, it is even doable.”

Saint Raphael Parish is pleased to welcome Sr. Julia Upton, RSM, for our third Benedictine Spirituality Day.
An accomplished author, Sr. Julia has written several books, including Worship in Spirit and Truth: The Life and Legacy of H.A. Reinhold, A Time for Embracing: Reclaiming Reconciliation, and A Church for the Next Generation: Sacraments in Transition.
We invite you to join us in the church for a morning presentation and reflection as Sr. Julia speaks to our community on Giving Glory to God by Our Lives. Her presentation will be followed by a Q&A session and a brief introduction to the Benedictine Formation group. Afterward, all attendees are invited to the parish rectory for a light lunch.
