Harrisburg University’s Student Government Association would like to recognize a few of our female professors that have made a huge impact in and outside of the classroom. We thank you during Women’s History Month!

Dr. Karma Pace, (Upper Left corner), is an Assistant Professor of Biological Science and head of faculty at Harrisburg University’s Philadelphia location. She has a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, and Master of Science Degrees (M.S.) in Biology/Secondary Ed, Bioscience, and Biology. She has always found it important to be a role model for women and minorities regarding pursuing higher education. Without Dr. Pace, HU Philadelphia would not be where it is today. Thank you, Dr. Pace, for showing women that reaching high in the science fields is possible!
