I had the pleasure of having Dr. Groves as a professor for two classes at Manhattan College. In fact, I took the second course as "my treat to myself" as a senior with a free elective. Dr. Groves challenged us, but was always fair and always made the class a worthwhile place to be.
She found the perfect blend of stories and statistics.
I will keep Dr. Groves and your family in my prayers.
