Danielle Williams
Working under Ms. Dwyer's leadership was a pleasure. It was refreshing to know that if there was a concern, or if something wasn't prepared for me to teach class, I could call her and she would do whatever she could to help. She was always approachable, professional, willing to listen, and thoughtful about meeting the needs of the instructors. I am grateful that I've had the opportunity to work with Mary.
Laura Bogue
