Relations. She earned her Doctorate in Interpersonal Communication
and Persuasion from SUNY--Buffalo. Lynne taught at SUNY--Buffalo
before coming to La Salle, where she currently serves as the department's

Lynne's vast knowledge of Communication shows in her variety of publications. In addition to
numerous book chapters and articles, Lynne co-wrote a textbook entitled Advanced Interpersonal
Communication (1995). She has also participated in a number of conferences and lectures across
the country.
Lynne's experience has also earned her a number of teaching
awards. She received the Milton Plesur Award for Distinguished
Teaching, SUNY--Buffalo's Communication Department "Teacher of

Lynne and a colleague recently received a grant to use the Labyrinth

illness and grief. The Labyrinth is an ancient symbol used as
a walking meditation to assist in physical, emotional, and spiritual
healing. Lynne also wrote a chapter for "The Magic of Labyrinths"
(2002) and presented at the International Association of Schools
of Social Work in France in July 2002.
