About the IPH

Faculty and Staff

“Twenty-plus years of administrative work in a non-profit, educational environment has been very rewarding for me. The greatest reward is the feeling that what I have done to earn a living may have indirectly improved other people's lives. The IPH is deeply committed to that end, and is realized by such an extraordinary group of dedicated and talented people!”
