Paul Cooke
Faculty Fellow

Sharing my personal and professional experience with the graduate students at Saint Mary’s College is an honor. The freedom to integrate faith based concepts in the classroom is a blessing that enhances the material; and allows classroom interaction to model a life of faith as well as the clinician-client relationship.
