Misericordia receives tax credit program funds

Frontier Communications recently presented Misericordia University with a check for $32,000 from funds made available in 2012 by the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. The funds are being used by the university's Speech-Language and Hearing Center to provide innovative educational programs for students in kindergarten through third grade. Some of the EITC funding is also used by the low-cost clinical center to purchase equipment. At the check presentation, from left: Michael A.
