<p>One of the many strengths of Widener Law Commonwealth is the amazing faculty and staff who are dedicated to the education of our students in and out of the classroom. After officially becoming Widener Law Commonwealth in July 2015, we added a few new members to our Widener team and want to get to know them a little better.</p>
<p>For the first installment, we turned the tables and interviewed Julie Massing, who serves as the law school&rsquo;s Communications Manager. Massing joined the Widener Law Commonwealth team in September.&nbsp; Originally from Edinboro, Massing received a bachelor&rsquo;s degree in English Writing and a master&rsquo;s degree in Communications Studies from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.</p>
