John Pass ’99 of Tacoma, Wash., was
approved last fall for a service dog from
Paws With a Cause because he has
been struggling with seizures for some
time. A surgical treatment in 2001 ultimately led to an increase in seizures, so

Kisner Baker ’84 for her guidance and
support during my time at SHU.”
