Thanks to a generous gift by Mrs. Ruth Sharkey and her husband, Mr. Thomas J. Sharkey, The Ruth Sharkey Academic Resource Center is taking shape as an important center for student development and achievement at Seton Hall University. The ARC was officially dedicated on Friday, September 30, 2005, with a blessing ceremony led by Monsignor Robert Sheeran. The featured speaker was honor student Monica Makowski, an ardent advocate for the Writing Center.
