FACULTY BELIEVE IN STUDENT POTENTIAL - Rebecca Erwin '12, now a lab analyst for Environmental Service Laboratories in Indiana, Pa., said, "My advisor, Professor John Woolcock, gave me my first work study experience at IUP. He saw something in me that I didn't even see myself my first semester as a college student, and he chose me to develop and perform a series of forensic science experiments for some of his classes."
