President’s Message As Marian enters a new academic year, her students are afforded new opportunities and advancements on campus and off.

Dear Friends, The start of the new academic year provided me with an opportunity to reflect on all that is good here at Marian and in our greater community. After a dry summer, the campus quad is green again and filled with the joy of smiling students aspiring to reach their highest potential. A new welcome center in the Stayer Center has helped us define the main entrance to our beautiful campus. The transformation in the Hornung Student Center continues with the addition of a refurbished grill, complete with booths, as well as an expanded bookstore with a new main entrance. New computers adorn the Cardinal Meyer Library and new fitness equipment is in full use in the Sadoff Gymnasium. We also continue to improve the landscape architecture and create a greater sense of our religious identity.

“After a dry summer, the campus quad is green again and filled with the joy of smiling students aspiring to reach their highest potential.”

The conclusion of our 75th anniversary year is upon us and we take pause to once again thank the members of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes for their leadership and vision in creating Marian University. It is only fitting that they named this institution after the Blessed Mother for whom all things are sacred. It is through their generosity that we were able to host two volumes of The Saint John’s Bible this academic year. They are works of art that both inspire and remind us of our important role as shepherds of the Gospel. I encourage you to read about them today and visit campus to witness their magnificence. Earlier this summer I was invited, along with 30 other college presidents, to attend a meeting on Interfaith Dialogue at The White House. Leaders from across the nation shared stories of collaboration among students of different faiths that celebrate their personal identity, learn about other religions and make a difference in the world. As a result of this experience, two Marian University students will participate in an educational program with The New York Says Thank You Foundation that joins first responders from September 11th with people from around the country to rebuild and repair areas affected by natural disasters. It is a way for Muslims, Jews, Catholics and others to join hands by helping others. All of our new students watched an educational video about this experience to prepare them for local service projects in our own city and around our region. Together we continue to live our mission in a variety of ways. This year Marian instituted a Presidential Mission Award to assist students with financial needs who are living the mission of the university in their everyday lives. These students are nominated by faculty and staff, reviewed by a Mission Committee and interviewed by me. Four such awards have been granted thus far, each student with their own personal story of determination, love for Marian and faith in their future. This is a true mark of success for any university, particularly one founded on such principles as service, social justice and community. Great things lie ahead as we continue on this journey together. May God continue to guide us and bless us as we embark on the next 75 years. Sincerely, Steven R. DiSalvo, Ph.D. President president@marianuniversity.edu

Inspiring spirituality:

Marian hosts Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible From September through November 2012, Marian will play host to two volumes of the Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible, the only full-size, fine art edition of the handwritten illuminated Bible commissioned by Saint John’s University over a decade ago. “Sr. Mary Noel Brown, CSA, and I were attending the annual meeting for the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities and had an opportunity to see the collection firsthand,” Kate Candee, Vice President for Mission and Retention stated. As the campus closed out its 75th anniversary year, the Heritage edition seemed a perfect fit with the University’s celebration of its own history and heritage. The original Saint John’s Bible was the first of its kind to be commissioned by a Benedictine monastery in 500 years, with the goal of inspiring spiritual imagination throughout the world. Its combination of ancient methods and materials with modern themes and technology highlights the importance of the ancient writings in today’s world, and both the original and Heritage Edition make a visceral impact on viewers. “These volumes will inspire and touch the hearts and spirits of students, faculty, staff, alumni and the greater community,” Candee said. Made up of the artwork of several different artists, each volume of the Heritage Edition is approximately two feet tall by three feet wide when open and weighs between 13 and 20 pounds. The most experienced printing and binding experts in the world were involved in reprinting the Heritage Edition, resulting in a true replica of the original illuminated Bible. Marian will showcase the books of Pentateuch and Wisdom. After being displayed at Marian for the September 8 Founder’s Day event and blessing, the book will be shown at St. Agnes Hospital from December through February, the Monroe Clinic from March through May and return to Marian for CSA Days in June 2013. n 5

Connecting different faiths and perspectives: Campus ministry mission trips bring core values to those in need

Each year, ambassadors of Marian University live the core values away from campus through mission trips organized by Campus Ministry. This year’s trip was a return to Red Bird Mission in Beverly, Kentucky, part of the isolated and rustic Appalachian Mountain region. The Red Bird Mission and its associated clinic are located in an area where both natural and economic influences have made the lives of its residents exceedingly difficult. In addition to the rugged terrain, the lack of jobs and access to supplies and education manifest in deep-seated poverty. During last year’s trip, Marian students spent their week cleaning, painting and helping

with housing repair and construction. This year’s trip, according to Campus Ministry President Emily Young ’13, included all of that as well as an emphasis on interaction. “It’s been a lot of fun getting to know more people, especially

It’s really cool hearing their stories and how they grew up, and how it’s different from how I grew up.”

Young went on her first Campus Ministry mission trip as a freshman at Marian, and has considered pursuing medical mission work at some point after she graduates with her nursing degree in 2013. Aside from the experience of traveling, she says the Red Bird trips have helped her develop personally. “I’ve made a lot of friends through the experience and it’s really helped to have those people there who help you stay up on your faith and keep you motivated,” Young noted of her involvement. “I’m very into my faith. I feel like helping others is something I’ve been called to do. I think it’s really neat that we can make such a big difference in one person’s life.” n

Arrested for Aid

Members of the Marian community experience an ‘arresting’ opportunity to help youth in need. Some Marian professors were regretting every pop quiz and low grade when students were given the opportunity to lock them up this March — but it was all for a good cause. Members of Marian University’s Criminal Justice Club “arrested” faculty, staff — and even a few students — in its first Jail and Bail Fundraiser, with all proceeds donated to supplies for Fond du Lac’s Galow Group Home for Boys. “As a club, we wanted to help a local organization that maybe doesn’t receive a lot of funding or assistance,” said Criminal Justice Club President Hans Wagner ‘13. “That’s when the club decided to help the Galow Group Home for Boys in Fond du Lac.” The jail and bail fundraiser concept was Wagner’s idea, and although Lisa McArthur, program coordinator for criminal justice and CJ Club advisor, was admittedly skeptical of its potential for success, she was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. “It was way above and beyond our expectations,” McArthur said. “I was worried that nobody was going to let us arrest them, and I thought ‘well, if we make $500 or $600 I’ll be happy,’ not knowing that we’d raise over $2,000.” The grand total for the event was $2,100, thanks to the enthusiastic participation and fundraising efforts of the Marian community. Prior to the March 28 event, several Marian students, staff and faculty members were contacted with offers to participate by being arrested by Criminal Justice students and placed in a mock jail in the lobby of the administration building. Everyone who was initially contacted also had the opportunity to simply purchase a “bench warrant” for $25 and avoid being 8

“The people who work [at Galow] are a phenomenal group of people and do a lot on a shoestring budget. There are a host of very worthy causes, but we wanted to do something that would stay local and help someone who maybe didn’t have a lot of money.” arraigned, processed and held. The majority, however, enjoyed the opportunity to mug for the camera and raise money to be released. In addition to the predetermined arrests, the club sold mug shots to anyone who wanted their picture taken in orange Fond du Lac County Jail garb, complete with a caption for being “most wanted” for the crime of their choice. Arrest warrants could also be purchased for $5 on the day of the event and student bailiffs were dispatched to attempt to arrest the individual listed on the warrant.

Marian students donate to the fundraiser by paying $5 for a faux mug shot.

“Students could come in and purchase an arrest warrant and we told them we’ll attempt to arrest them but if they don’t want to, obviously we’re not going to pressure them,” McArthur said. “There [were] a total of 15 that were arrested, that let us go put them in handcuffs, and then an additional five people that had the arrest warrant purchased with their name on it.” Several different Marian judges who rotated throughout the day processed arrestees, and despite the laughter and levity behind the crepe paper jail bars, the money raised provided help for a serious need. The Galow Group Home hosts young men ages 14 to 17 who have been given a last chance by a judge. The staff at Galow strives to create treatment plans that fulfill the boys’ court requirements, aid them in finding employment and encourage them to choose a more productive way of life. “Basically it’s a last chance to get their lives together before they’re sent to jail,” McArthur said. “The people who work there are a phenomenal group of people and do a lot on a shoestring budget. There are a host of very worthy causes, but we wanted to do something that would stay local and help someone who maybe didn’t have a lot of money.” After the fundraiser, McArthur called the group home for the most-wanted items on its shopping list. The house is the residence of up to six boys at a time for typically between 12 and 14 months. Many of these boys come from troubled backgrounds, and arrive at Galow with few personal items.

MARIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE

“If they have a boy coming to the home, a lot of times it’s in the middle of the night and under not-so-great circumstances, and the boy may arrive with what he’s wearing and that’s it,” McArthur said. To make the residents feel more at home, members of the CJ Club set out to shop with their fundraising proceeds. In addition to six complete bedding sets, towels, movies, video games and sports equipment, they purchased $150-gift cards from Kohl’s, Walmart, Target and Pick ‘n’ Save, as well as gift cards for Domino’s pizzas. McArthur says the boys at Galow were “shocked” that all of these items were purchased for them. “When we showed up at the house, it was like Christmas for them,” McArthur said. “It was so cool, the fact that somebody did that for them. A couple of the boys wrote letters saying thank you and how much it meant to them. I thought ‘OK, boys aren’t going to get excited about bedding and pillows’ but they thought that was the coolest thing that somebody cared about them.” Planning for next March’s Jail and Bail is already in the works, with the hope of getting more Fond du Lac community involvement, especially with local law enforcement. The student involvement, however, is a valuable part of the event’s success. “It’s a nice example for them to see how to get involved, how to set up an event like that, how to run it and then after the event what happens next,” McArthur said. “What was so great about it was it modeled for the students what giving back is, and how it feels.” n FALL 2012

Marian University honors employees at annual Faculty & Staff Recognition Dinner Marian’s yearly celebration of employee achievements included the Academic Advising Excellence Award given to Juliet Durdin, academic advisor for the School of Nursing, and the Staff of the Year Award given to Director of Financial Aid Pamela Warren. Adjunct of the Year awards recognized the efforts of Shane McAdams of the School of Arts, Humanities and Letters; Ann Salm of the School of Math and Natural Science; Scott Richter of the School of Business; Rhonda Stucky of the School of Education and Ralph Rich of the Adult & Graduate Programs. History professor Dr. Richard Whaley received this year’s Service–Learning Award for his dedication to integrating community service with academic study through a partnership with the Windhover Center for the Arts. Dr. James Gray of the sport and recreation management program was honored with the Social Justice Award for his ongoing efforts to make students aware of the needs of others. The evening ended with awards given to those who showcase exemplary teaching, with the James R. Underkofler Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award presented to Dr. Matthew Szromba, assistant professor of history. The Graduate Excellence in Teaching Award was presented to Dr. Marilyn Bugenhagen, an assistant professor of leadership studies.

As of July 1, Marian University added a valuable set of courses to its curriculum by assuming full stewardship of the Mercy Medical and Affinity Health System Program in Radiologic Technology. As a part of the School of Nursing and Health Professions, students in the radiologic technology program will have access to the resources available from Marian’s comprehensive healthcare programs as well as opportunities for hands-on experience. Marian students who participated in the program through the previous relationship between the university and the Affinity Health System scored within the top two percent of all test takers in the nation on the American Registry of Radiologic Technology (ARRT) certification exam, a good indicator of the program’s future success. “The Affinity Health System Program in Radiologic Technology has a long-standing history of quality education, reflected in the most recent graduating cohort having a 100-percent pass rate on the ARRT for certification,” Julie A. Luetschwager, Ph.D., RN, Dean of the Marian School of Nursing said.

Marian University launches first peer-reviewed journal Marian University’s Institute for Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness announced the launch of the university’s first ever peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of Homeland Security Education (JHSE) in March of 2012. With a focus on research, editorials, book reviews, symposia, tested practitioner experiences and other related research, the online-only journal will publish the best work of some of the most knowledgeable homeland security educators in the country three times a year.

Gym Class Heroes played for students in March

Big Band 2012 concert hosts Gym Class Heroes Marian University welcomed over 600 music fans and popular rap/rock band Gym Class Heroes to its campus on Thursday, March 29 in the Sadoff Gymnasium for its 2012 Big Band event. The opening act, Super Happy Fun Club, was followed by the Gym Class Heroes performing songs from last year’s The Papercut Chronicles II. The band was chosen based on student opinion within the parameters of the available budget. “The Big Band Committee developed a survey in which we tried to determine the genre or genres of most interest among the Marian undergraduate students,” said Steve Rumbuc ‘12, former student senate parliamentarian. “Based on these results, we felt Gym Class Heroes would reflect the wants of a larger portion of the student body because of their eclectic trans-genre-type sound.” This year’s concert saw the best crowd turnout to date, and was met by an overall favorable response by students, faculty, staff and other guests who attended.

Thanks to a fortunate meeting had by a faculty member, a Marian bacteriology class had the opportunity to test out the latest technology of CHROMagar Microbiology, a French company that produces innovative chromogenic culture media techniques. Dr. Susan Bornstein-Forst, a professor of Biology at Marian, met a representative of CHROMagar at an American Society for Microbiology meeting. After hearing about Bornstein-Forst’s research-based bacteriology class and lab, Alberto Learner from CHROMagar offered the professor a semester’s worth of agar, an algae-based polymer.

“We look at environmental reservoirs that can harbor potential pathogens to track down sources for bacteria associated with bovine mastitis,” Bornstein-Forst said. “Using bacterial source tracking, we’re trying to determine the culprits for these diseases. He was very excited that we were doing this for our class.” Agar is typically very expensive, but thanks to the sample and testing opportunity, Bornstein-Forst’s students were able to develop research projects that connected to real-world skill sets using cutting-edge technology and materials. “The beauty of the CHROMagar product is that it’s called ‘chrome’ because the dyes in the agar will turn specific colors according to the type of bacteria,” Bornstein-Forst stated. “Students loved it because it was so visual. They find it much more meaningful to know that they’re involved in learning activities that address real-world problems and, especially since our students come from agricultural backgrounds, this meant something to them.”

All of the submissions were displayed at Marian’s Common Grounds coffee house and on the websites of local radio stations K107 and KFIZ. 13

Students present neuromuscular research In classes taught by Dr. Maggie Wentzell, assistant professor of Biology, students aren’t restricted to books and theory in their learning. Using snails (Helisoma trivolvis), Wentzell’s students are able to learn about neuromuscular physiology and central pattern generators by interacting directly with an intact brain system. This systemic research gives students the opportunity to better understand how the nervous system works in action.

Dr. Marilyn Bugenhagen

Bugenhagen selected to chair National Symposium Marian University’s Dr. Marilyn Bugenhagen once again presided as the co-chair of the National Leadership Symposium (NLS), held at the University of Richmond from July 13–16, 2012. Dr. Bugenhagen, who served in this role last year as well, is an assistant professor of leadership studies at Marian. As co-chair of the NLS, she was given the task of developing the programs and symposium experience as well as contributing to ideas concerning how leadership education is developing in universities as interest in the topic grows. The four-day event, coordinated by the National Clearinghouse for Leadership Programs (NCLP) and the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA), featured prominent scholars in leadership and served as a professional development experience for faculty members, student service professionals and other educators.

“The students in my lab have the opportunity to visualize how cells interact with each other and with the muscles they innervate, with all parts of the brain present,” Wentzell said. While similar to work that Wentzell conducted as a graduate student during her time at the University of Illinois Chicago, this research is new to Marian. Wentzell was inspired to resurrect aspects of the project due to her students’ interest in the relationships between muscles and the nervous system. Many of her research students are also looking into pre-physical therapy education, making the study appropriate in that regard as well. “Students in my lab work incredibly hard and are able to master some very difficult concepts,” Wentzell said. “It is exceptionally rewarding to see their hard work pay off when they present their data to the public. Students end up with graduate-level presentations.” Wentzell took three of her students to the American Association of Anatomists meeting this February, where they presented on Helisoma trivolvis. River Fetterer ’12 won the poster competition for her project, Motor Neuron Responses to Exogenous Application of Glutamate in Helisoma Trivolvis.

Walking and Working in Prayer Marian students take the core values beyond the campus and out into the world

MARIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE

n a time when technology can make the world seem smaller and more connected than ever, it’s easy to experience different places in front of a screen and within our comfort zones. One step away from these comfortable borders, however, can remind us of all of the opportunities there are to be experienced when we’re willing to have an open heart and a sense of adventure. Marian offers a variety of study abroad options, with emphases on many disciplines. One place where Marian’s core values and travel seem to especially intersect is the medical field; medical mission opportunities see both traditional and nontraditional students growing in faith and compassion as they learn in the wide world around them. Medical Needs in Nicaragua There is a growing fascination with natural medicine in the United States, but in many areas of the world acupressure and healing touch are more common than antibiotics and hydrocortisone. Lynda Fields, a senior clinical nurse educator at Marian and a pain specialist

MARIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE

nurse practitioner, joined a group from Carthage College in June for just over a week in one of the poorest countries in the world, Nicaragua. For eight days, Fields, associate nursing professor Dr. Mary Polchert and four Marian nursing students split time between studying health care, disease and injury management at clinics and total immersion in the country’s culture on the island of Ometepe. In addition to climbing volcanoes and learning about the plants, animals and land, the travelers brought donations of toys, tools and other much-needed goods that they distributed at the clinics where they worked. These contributions will help, but Fields noted there are important items still missing at the medical facilities they visited. “It’s like stepping back in time,” Fields said. “Even in Managua [hospitals], they only have one nebulizer.” With short supplies at even the best hospitals, the governmentowned clinics where the Marian

and Carthage travelers worked stood in even starker contrast to medical facilities in the United States. According to Fields, pain medication is sparse and the medicines they do have are often not kept at the optimum temperature. Dogs roam the clinics next to waiting or treated patients and with most of the drawers in the pharmacy empty, the staff relies largely on medicines donated from companies in Europe. In one instance, Fields recalls being especially affected as she helped a Nicaraguan doctor treat a young child. “The doctor and I agreed that this baby had pneumonia,” Fields said. “What we were able to give him was a liquid antibiotic and Robitussin DM — for an adult. That’s what we had. So we made it down to an infant dosage and that’s what we gave this baby who was wheezing and had congestion in his lungs. I had no nebulizer, I had no bronchodilator, I had nothing to give this baby, and that broke my heart.” Aside from the differences in resources, the differences in the

FALL 2012

kinds of difficulties faced in Nicaragua were also drastic. “Their diseases are very different from ours because of the polluted water, the water supply and because there’s so much openness. They don’t have homes like we have where we close the door at night,” Fields said. “You have knife injuries, you have tarantula bites, scorpion bites, parasitic diseases and you have also some socioeconomic diseases.” This was Marian’s second year of partnering with Carthage on this trip, and Fields’ first time going along. She has been asked to go back next year, and is eager to educate the campus community as to how they can help from home. “We can’t upset anybody, but there are so many things that we can help out with to help mankind in this third-world country, and that’s one of the biggest things that I’m going to try to get our university involved in,” Fields said. “We bring the Western medicine and the Western techniques with us to the mountains. These people have nothing but the land around them. They are truly survivors in the world that they live in.” Crossing Borders in Africa and America For one Marian student, a passion for traveling to help others started abroad and has come back to being a bit closer to home.

Put in charge of infection control, King says that when she was faced with 22,000 people needing care it made her realize that she had not quite fulfilled her calling in nursing. “At that time I realized, for the first time in my life, I was really walking in prayer every single minute of every single day for two weeks,” King reflected. “And I realized at the time that I needed more education so that I could be better equipped to serve my community at large.”

time caring for AIDS-afflicted children in the orphanages and schools in South Africa, King returned to the States with a new appreciation for her profession and her country.

King started taking classes in January 2012 at Marian’s West Allis center. Right away, a comment from one of her professors validated that she was on the right path.

“When we got back and touched down on American soil, it had really done something in the hearts of each one of us in the sense that we realized that we really do live in the finest country in the world, truly. We’re all well-cared for,” King said.

“He came up to the table and said ‘I want to thank you so much for coming back to school in your 50s. You nurses have so much to bring to the table,’” King said. “Those tiny things that people say to you in a positive respect just keep you going.”

From this experience, and from seeing the devastation suffered by Hurricane Katrina victims in 2005, King joined the American Red Cross. As a Disaster Relief Nurse, she has worked and helped people nation-wide. In August of 2011 she was specially requested because of her knowledge and experience as a caseworker with disaster relief when Hurricane Irene hit the East Coast.

King will continue to work with the Red Cross, and hopes to become a clinical instructor after she has completed her coursework at Marian. She says that she would be interested in the medical mission trip to Nicaragua but is regardless sure to maintain Marian’s reputation as a university that builds good global citizens, at any age or education level. n

Spring sports recap

by Luke Pattarozzi, Sports Information Director

BASEBALL Marian hosted this year’s conference tournament at Herr–Baker Field. The Sabres got out to a 7–5 start in league play, but wound up finishing 8–14 in the Northern Athletics Conference (NAC) and 16–22 overall. Season successes included sophomore Sam Forkert throwing the seventh no-hitter in school history when he struck out 12 in a 1–0 win over Finlandia, earning him honors to the D3baseball.com Team of the Week for his efforts. The following week, sophomore reliever Brandon Winfield was honored to the team for capturing a win and a save in relief. In addition to earning Marian Male Student– Athlete of the Year honors for the second straight year, senior catcher Anthony Porcaro was also named to the NAC All-Sportsmanship team. Outfielder Josh Gruenke represented the Sabres on the NAC All-Freshman squad, while senior pitcher Jesse Blum was named a Capital One

MARIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE

Division III Academic All-American, the first in school history. Blum finished his Marian career with a 3.93 GPA and a degree in finance.

SOFTball After missing out on the post-season in 2011, Head Coach Ashley Steltenpohl’s squad finished fourth in the NAC with a 21–20 overall record and 15–9 in conference play, their best mark since 2009. The Sabres defeated Lakeland, 7–1, in the first game of the conference tournament before running into juggernauts Benedictine and Dominican to close out the season. Senior pitcher Cherise Waltz and junior infielder Emilie Jansen earned first team All-NAC honors, while freshman outfielder Liz Schaller was a second team honorable mention selection. Schaller and fellow freshman infielder Molly Sippel each were named to the All-Freshman squad, while senior catcher Emily Boehnlein took home All-Sportsmanship team honors.

Waltz led the NAC in starts, complete games and innings pitched, and finished second with 16 wins and 118 strikeouts. She finished her career as the all-time leader at Marian in innings pitched and games started, and ranked second all-time with 14 shutouts and third with 374 strikeouts.

men’s TENNIS Marian won two of its final three matches of the regular season, but fell just shy of making the conference team tournament, finishing 3–7 overall, 3–6 in the NAC. Singles and doubles standout Jory Lawson was the team’s lone First Team All-NAC selection. The senior captain went 5–5 in No. 1 singles and 4–6 in No. 1 doubles in 2012. He finished his career as one of the winningest singles players in school history, going 31–30 in singles matches and 25–27 in doubles. He was 6–3 in NAC tournament play for his career, including a 1–1 mark this season.

In addition, freshman Mike Keller was named to the NAC All-Sportsmanship team.

men’s GOLF Under the tutelage of newly appointed Interim Head Coach Duane Woeshnick, the men’s golf team improved two spots to finish fifth overall after the final two rounds of the NAC Championship. Through the first two rounds, which took place at Whistling Straits/ Irish Course in the fall, the Sabres sat in seventh place overall. In the final two rounds at Stonebridge C.C. in the spring, however, Marian turned in the second-best team score and placed two golfers in the top 10. Junior Cory Ashbeck was one of only two golfers to break 80 in each of the final two rounds and finished tied for sixth. Freshman Max Richardson shot a 79 on the final day to tie for 10th, marking the first time since 2008 that a Marian golfer was honored to the All-NAC team. With no graduating seniors, all members are expected to play again next season. FALL 2012

Making the Mallards: Sam Forkert by Luke Pattarozzi, Sports Information Director Many student–athletes spend their off-seasons staying active in recreational sports, and some take it more seriously and to the next level. Sam Forkert ’14 is the latter, and used the summer before his junior year at Marian to work hard while he played. Even rarer than the no-hitter he threw back on March 25, 2012, left-hander Forkert has turned a 10-day contract in the prestigious Northwoods League into a full season for the Madison Mallards. Prior to this year, only three Marian Sabres have had this opportunity in the 19year history of the league. The Northwoods League is a 16-team wood bat league made up of the top college talent across the nation competing in a 70-game regular season schedule from June–August. In a league that features mostly NCAA Division I and junior college players, Forkert is one of just 14 NCAA Division III players and the lone D3 player on the Mallards’ roster. “It is great for Sam to be competing in one of, if not the best, collegiate summer leagues in the nation,” Marian University Head Baseball Coach Jason Bartelt said. “He is not only representing Marian, but the Northern Athletics Conference and all of Division III baseball, making the best of his opportunity by turning a 10-day contract into a summer-long contract.” “Coming from such a small school, it feels good to represent Marian in a league with guys coming from such big schools,” Forkert said. After making eight relief appearances for the Mallards while compiling a 1.88 ERA with 14 strikeouts over 14.1 innings, Forkert was called upon to make his first Northwoods League start. Up against Lakeshore’s Chris Cotton out of Louisiana MARIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE 20 20MARIAN

State University, Forkert had his work cut out for him; Cotton went 7-0 with a 1.59 ERA over 36 appearances for the Tigers in 2012, and helped LSU get to within one win of reaching the College World Series. Unaware of his opponent’s background, Forkert went out, pitched and held his own. Despite taking the loss, he threw four innings and allowed three runs on three hits, but walked away with a new perspective. “I didn’t realize who I was pitching against until Coach Bartelt told me after the game,” Forkert said. “Cotton threw as hard as I did. He hit his spots. I took that start and saw what I needed to do in order to get where he is and found as long as you throw strikes and get outs it doesn’t matter where you come from.” Since then, Forkert’s endured a few humbling performances, but it’s been part of the learning process. “The main thing I learned from being here is how hard these guys work, not only on the field, but off the field, too,” Forkert said of his experience in Madison. “I realized that I was used to playing based off the talent I had already. Now I see the kind of hard work it takes to get where I want to be. I’m going to work harder at it than I ever have before and see where it takes me.” n

Sabres welcome new sports staff The 2012–2013 academic year will be an exciting one for Sabre athletics, with a number of fresh faces both on the fields and courts and on the sidelines. In addition to the incoming freshmen that will be new to the teams, there are several new coaches and administrators. Both men’s and women’s hockey will have new head coaches at the helm coming from St. Norbert College, with A.J. Aitken steering the men’s team and Jamie Kivi for the women. Duane Woeshnick, the interim head coach for men’s golf last spring, will step into a permanent role as the leader of both the men and women golfers.

John Frausto will serve as head coach for the men’s tennis team in addition to the women’s team, and women’s soccer has a new fulltime assistant coach in Jillian Sauer, previously a trainer at Anytime Fitness in Fond du Lac. The head coach for the women’s soccer team, Jason Murphy, retains that role in addition to serving as the new Director of Athletics, a post he has held since March. New coach or old, all of Marian’s teams will benefit from the fundraising efforts of new Advancement Officer for Athletics, Rich Eckert, who previously worked for the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference. n

Led by Leadership Studies Department Chair and Doctoral Program Director Dr. Nancy Riley, the Higher Learning Commission-accredited program offers emphases in Educational Administration, Curriculum and Instruction Leadership and Leadership Studies. In addition to stellar faculty, it boasts a uniquely flexible program that combines the best of the traditional cohort model with an enrollment structure that allows students to enter or exit based on their own needs. To complete the Ph.D. program, students are required to complete a minimum of 45 credits beyond a master’s professional degree and 15 credits of dissertation research. The nine doctoral graduates of 2012 represented all three of the Ph.D. concentrations at Marian, with individual research done on a variety of topics. The 2012–13 academic year brought a fresh crop of doctoral students in all three disciplines. As they move through classes such as Foundations of Research, Organizational Culture and Leadership for Social Change, last year’s large graduating cohort will no doubt inspire and encourage them on their academic journey. While not an easy endeavor, earning a doctoral degree holds a high level of prestige, and Marian’s graduates are held in high esteem. “We’re very proud of our role in developing future leaders of society who must deal with complex issues and ideas,” Riley said. “Challenged to think theoretically and critically, our doctoral students continue to made significant contributions to the field of leadership.” As the program continues to grow in reputation and prevalence, it will still offer the values-based education that makes a Marian degree of any level so valuable. A Ph.D. is an admirable achievement, but by earning it at Marian these individuals ensure that they are both mastering the skills to lead as well as maintaining their careers and time with family. With the values of community, learning, service, social justice and spiritual traditions found in every facet of the program, Marian’s doctoral program advances forward while advancing the lives and education of its participants.

How education gave me self-worth

By Gina Anderson ‘12, as seen on www.huffingtonpost.com. Reprinted with permission. This fall, Gina Anderson is attending the University of Central Florida’s Industrial/ Organizational Psychology M.S. program. In this excerpt from the Huffington Post, she tells how her time at Marian led to this accomplishment. When I wasn’t accepted to the Working Families Grant (WFG) Program at Marian University in Wisconsin, I enrolled in classes anyway despite knowing there was no way I could afford to go back to school full-time and pay my bills. After a decade of working at car dealerships, I was burnt out, and I wanted more — for my daughter, for myself. It was about two weeks into the semester when I received a call from the university notifying me of a program opening; I went in for an interview. My story finally resonated with the program leaders, with whom I had spoken so candidly about the struggles I encountered in my 31 years. The program is a unique collaboration of an anonymous donor and the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes that provides funds to single parents like me who possess the desire and determination to achieve a four-year degree, but are unable to do so without the funds, which help offset educational costs and monthly living expenses including rent, food and childcare services. I may not have known it then, but my self-worth depended on my acceptance to this program. My confidence was at an all-time low, I had been laid off from my most recent position as a finance manager at a car dealership…[and] I had just ended a six year abusive marriage. Divorce did not erase the effects of being in an abusive relationship, and my self-esteem suffered tremendously. Working in the car business did help me discover something: That I was great at helping people work through their issues. Colleagues referred to me as their on-site psychologist.

MARIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE

That, coupled with my experience in an abusive relationship, is what drove me to pursue a degree in psychology. Originally, I wanted to study abuse and addiction, but I realized that with my business background, I would get further ahead by focusing on Industrial/ Organizational Psychology (IO). I found that’s where my true passion lies. My 14-year-old daughter Ally is aware of the importance of education because she sees how hard I work. I’ve shown her that it’s possible to obtain a higher education regardless of the hand you were dealt. I became pregnant with Ally when I was just 19, and was a single parent before I even gave birth. In May, I will graduate from Marian with a B.S. in Psychology, completing the four-year program in just three years. Earning my bachelor’s would never have been possible without the WFG Program. If I hadn’t been accepted, chances are halfway through the program I would’ve dropped out and worked a job that wouldn’t allow me to reach my full potential, both academically and financially. In addition to the stellar education I’ve received, I live in a nice apartment and there’s food on the table because of this program, which also allows those enrolled to receive budget counseling, ensuring that the student is balanced and no aspect of their life is suffering. What about that plummeting self-confidence? Well, this program has really helped me gain it all back. I realize I’m a lot smarter than I ever gave myself credit for, and I think that my daughter sees that, which has helped her realize she can be a strong woman. Gina Anderson was selected from amongst her peers to serve as the student speaker at the May 2012 Commencement ceremony. n

FALL 2012

Marian launches Athletic Hall of Fame during Homecoming 2012 With a new look for a time-honored tradition and a new way to give credit to star student–athletes of the past, it’s already been an exciting autumn for Marian University Athletics. Sometimes, the best way to keep a treasured tradition alive is to remake it as something even better! That’s why this year’s Homecoming festivities featured a change from previous years. Alumni gathered on October 5 and 6 for sporting events, a tailgate party and a festivity-filled weekend that included the first Hall of Fame Sabre Golf Classic and the inaugural Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.

The 2012 Hall of Fame inductees were: Brian Gillogly (Coach, Baseball), was the first baseball coach at Marian, with a winning average of over 90 percent. Gillogly led his Sabres to 11 conference championships in his 12 years of coaching, and was Lake Michigan Conference (LMC) Coach of the Year eight times. He earned various other coach of the year accolades for his team’s award-winning players, including the 1993 Baseball team. Kerri (Holz) Huebel ’01 (Volleyball, Women’s Basketball), lettered in both of her sports and still holds the school record for matches, sets and assists in volleyball. Huebel never lost a conference match, qualified for the national tournament twice and was also named LMC Player of the Year in 2000. She is still ranked in the school’s highest records for three-pointers, starts, assists, steals and scoring for basketball. Casey Jackson ‘90 (Men’s Basketball), spent only two seasons with the Sabres but led the team to its best record in school history in the 1987–88 season and was a two-time All-LMC First Team selection. He achieved All-WCIC and NAIA All-District honors and still holds the highest scoring average per game at 16.6 points. Tanya (Leonhard) Wiesner ‘97 (Women’s Basketball), lettered all four years that she played and received All-LMC honors each season, including Rookie of the Year. Leonhard also received NAIA All-Region and Third Team All-American honors, as well as an AllAmerican selection. She continues to hold school records with 1,958 career points, 19.2 points per game and the highest number of field goals, free throws, rebounds, rebound average and steals. 26

MARIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE

Bruce Prall (Administrator), entering his 40th year at Marian, Prall’s résumé includes being the school’s first athletic director and establishing women’s basketball as the school’s first sponsored sport in 1970. He has coached both men’s and women’s basketball and hired some of Marian’s most successful coaches, including fellow inductee Brian Gillogly. Prall is currently Marian’s faculty athletic representative and a chemistry professor. Paul Sanchez ‘94 (Men’s Soccer), lettered all four years that he played, which included four NAIA District Playoffs and an LMC Championship. The defender earned All-LMC, NAIA All-District and All-Area honors as a sophomore, and was awarded an NAIA All-American honorable mention for his 15-point junior season. Sanchez closed out his career as a Sabre with his third straight season as an All-LMC and All-District selection. Mike Schaible ‘94 (Baseball), lettered all four years, was a four-time First Team All-LMC and All-District 14 selection and a two-time All-Midwest Region and NAIA All-American honorable mention pick. He received both LMC and All-District Player of the Year honors his senior year, and still holds the Marian record in lead in games played, hits, doubles, home runs, runs scored, RBI, walks and total bases. 1993 Baseball Team holds the school record of 38 wins in a season, including an 18-game winning streak that is still the longest in school history and led to a 16–0 record in the LMC. The team’s path through the LMC tournament, District 14 tournament and Midwest Regional led to an NAIA College World Series appearance and put six players on the All-LMC team, including a Player of the Year honor for Jeff Hencke. Several other members earned honorable mentions, All-District and All-Region honors, as well as All-American honorable mentions.

Alumni Spotlight: Andrea Hay ‘08 by Andrea Hay ‘08

We often hear about alumni who fell in love with Marian on the first campus tour, but some Sabres take longer to feel at home on campus.
