In early February of this year (2015) six women who had never meet each other, but with a shared goal, came together at Bay Path UniversityÕs Eastern Massachusetts Campus. They had all decided to pursue or restart their path to a college degree. The first step was to develop their research and writing skills to enable their success in their major areas of studies. Each of these women brought with them a variety of life experiences, educational backgrounds and future goals. This group of strangers quickly bonded into a group of scholars working in a cooperative fashion to support each other as they engaged the University experience. Some already possessed skills as researcher, other had computer competencies, while others were strong writers. Sharing theirs skills and talents on six consecutive Saturday mornings allowed them to produce the journal you are about to enjoy.
