MILFORD — We started our day arriving at Misericordia University and meeting Mr. Brian Carso, who gave us a tour of Misericordia. We went and interviewed the President, Dr. Thomas Botzman.Dr. Botzman started out going to Yale for engineering. He then taught in Europe and Mexico. He has been the President of the University for five years now. He is the 13 president of the university. He told us that Misericordia is almost 100 years old. When asked about any news building plans for the school, he told us that $38 million will be spent on the science building. The university is known for its music and arts programs.
The best part of his job is seeing the students realizing their dreams. The hardest part of being president is when students or their family gets injured, or passes away. He goes to 5 to 10 meetings a day. He tries to fit in lunch when he can with the students.
When asked if they have had any students 16 or younger, Dr. Botzman said yes, there have been 15- to A 16-year-old students that have attended. They’ve had a professional soccer player and many students who have become famous locally who have attended Misericordia. He also mentioned that there are approximately 3,000 students, including commuter students.
We asked Dr. Botzman what he liked to do outside of the university and he touts himself a good video player! He also said that their dining hall is very good.
We thanked him for the interview and continued with our tour with Brian Carso.
