During the opening of school informational meeting in September that celebrated significant academic achievements of the faculty, President Dr. Matthew Giordano announced the promotion of SM Barbara Amrozowicz to the rank of full professor at Villa Maria College in Buffalo, NY.
While teaching full-time in the Music Department at the College for 33 years, Sister Barbara has served in many capacities beyond her faculty titles including Music Program Coordinator and chairperson of the Music Department.
