Joseph Mannard, a history professor here at IUP, won a Mother Theodore Guerin Research Travel Grant. These grants, provided by Notre Dame's Cushwa Center, are for scholars whose research projects feature Catholic women more prominently in modern history.

Mannard's project is titled “America's First Runaway Nun: The Two Lives of Sr. Ann Gertrude Wightt, 1799-1867.”

Congratulations, Professor Mannard!
