2 PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2014/2015

Each year, we reflect upon the impact we have made on the lives of our students, in our community, and on the world. In this 2014-2015 Carlow University President’s Report, we share stories about our talented students, who go forth equipped with new skills and the desire to address the urgent challenges of the 21st century. We celebrate new programs and partnerships, which have led to innovations in our academic offerings. And we recognize evidence of positive, strategic change that has occurred during this, the first full year of implementation of our strategic plan, Transforming Lives. Transforming Our World.

We have made great strides in transforming learning at Carlow University—rebuilding our academic structure, expanding our program offerings, introducing a new undergraduate core curriculum, and fostering exciting new community partnerships and collaborations.

Our majestic new University Commons is not only the center of campus life and learning here at Carlow University, it is a symbol of continued institution-wide evolution—growth that results from research, strategy, and the tireless efforts of so many individuals.

This report also contains the names of generous donors to Carlow University during the 2014-2015 fiscal year, including those who helped us breathe life into the University Commons. Each gift has an impact, and together they shape the lives of our students—today, and for years to come.

It is with great pride that I share with you these stories, and it is with much gratitude that I acknowledge those of you who have graciously given your time, talent, and treasure to Carlow University.

Sincerely,

Suzanne K. Mellon, PhD President, Carlow University

STRATEGIC TRANSFORMATION: 2014-2015 2014-2015 was the first full academic year that Carlow University implemented the strategic plan, Transforming Lives. Transforming Our World.

This comprehensive plan strengthens our response to the workforce needs of the region, inspiring students to even greater accomplishments.

It reflects the particular opportunities and challenges facing the university by addressing five unifying imperatives and underscoring our top priorities, those on which our success most depends:

ACCELERATE GROWTH

In fall 2015, our retention rate was the third highest in the past 15 years, and our total enrollment of 2,300 students was a 2.7 percent increase from last year, surpassing our strategic plan goal.

BUILD FINANCIAL HEALTH

To generate growth, we have made strategic investments in Marketing and Communications, the Office of Sponsored Programs and Research, the Office of Enrollment Management, and in the development of new academic programs and athletics offerings.

OPTIMIZE LEARNING

We launched exciting, relevant new majors in the fall of 2015 and we are proud to unveil a new undergraduate general education curriculum, the Carlow Compass.

4 PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2014/2015

INNOVATE THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS

We established new articulation agreements with the Community College of Allegheny County, the University of Pittsburgh, and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. We have developed new partnerships with the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh and the City of Pittsburgh—and are currently finalizing several other exciting alliances.

CREATE TRANSFORMING ENVIRONMENTS Carlow’s new University Commons opened its doors to students in late August 2015. The building received LEED Silver Certification from the Green Building Certification Institute and serves as a standard moving forward as we continue to modernize our facilities. Carlow is also creating a campus and facility master plan with the guidance of CannonDesign, an award-winning integrated design firm. The plan is an adaptive roadmap that will analyze our physical space and ensure a vibrant, secure future in our diverse Oakland neighborhood.

CARLOW UNIVERSITY 5

UNIVERSITY COMMONS The University Commons is the signature project of Carlow University’s Brave Legacy, Bold Vision comprehensive campaign, which began in 2010 and concluded in 2014, raising $33.6 million—more than any other Carlow fundraising endeavor to date. The Commons was completed in just one year, for $19.9 million—on time and under budget.

The Commons project would not have been possible without the energy and dedication of alumni, faculty, staff, friends, and numerous institutions and foundations. The names of many donors are listed on an illuminated glass donor wall on the building’s second floor—it includes the name Rita M. McGinley. Thanks to McGinley’s gift—the largest in university history—Carlow was able to create the Rita M. McGinley Center for Student Success, now located on the fourth floor of the Commons. The McGinley Center is home to the Center for Digital Learning and Innovation, the Hopkins Communications Lab, the Center for Academic Success, and the Massey Mathematics Lab.

“The University Commons transformation is symbolic of all that’s happening in this little corner of Pittsburgh … a true renaissance. We will be seeing the spin-off for years to come.”

–Bill Peduto, Mayor, City of Pittsburgh

6 PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2014/2015

THE DAVID AND BARBARA CAPOZZI KIRR ’60 LEARNING COMMONS The David and Barbara Capozzi Kirr ’60 Learning Commons offers quiet, comfortable study spaces on the fourth floor of the University Commons, made possible by Barbara Capozzi Kirr ’60 and her husband David Kirr.

“We want our students to enjoy a learning environment where they have access to state-of-the-art technology and resources that enhance their learning,” says Capozzi Kirr.

Over the years, the Kirrs have provided consistent financial support and leadership to Carlow. They established the Barbara Capozzi Kirr ’60 and David M. Kirr Endowment for Teaching Excellence and created the Capozzi Kirr Challenge—grants that contribute the last $5,000 needed to fully fund new endowments, helping to increase Carlow’s endowment by more than $1 million.

A Carlow Laureate and former member of the university’s board of trustees, Capozzi Kirr says she and her husband David firmly “embrace the mission and vision of Carlow.

THE JOHN L. AND SUZANNE C. LAUBACH STUDENT COMMONS The Laubach family always valued education. Their mother Mary worked as a teacher and taught her children how to read before they entered school. Three of the four Laubach children skipped first grade.

That passion for education was one reason why son Jack and his wife Suzanne, a former social worker at Mercy Hospital, donated to Carlow University over the years. Recently, $800,000 of the $3 million legacy gift from their estate was used to build the John L. and Suzanne C. Laubach Student Commons on the first floor of the University Commons.

The John L. and Suzanne C. Laubach Student Commons provides much-needed meeting space for student clubs and organizations. “[The gift] speaks volumes about Sue and Jack’s commitment and the importance they placed on education,” says nephew Greg Laubach.

“It was critically important to them that any young person could achieve a solid education.”

“Carlow does a good job of not only preparing students for a career, but also for life in their community,” says Capozzi Kirr. “Their education encourages them to give back, to do service, and to be leaders—no matter the size of their role.”

A senior Carlow Celtics soccer player, nursing student Sarah Schwartz knows a lot about teamwork.

“When you’re part of a team,” she says, “if you don’t learn how to work with each other, then you’re not going to have a positive outcome.”

Last summer, Schwartz learned more about teamwork in the healthcare setting as an intern at Magee-Women’s Hospital of UPMC. She also solidified her desire to work with women and infants. “I loved working with the mothers and their families and bringing life into the world,” she says.

Schwartz has multi-tasking down to a science, finding time to study on campus, off campus, and on long bus rides to rival schools in the River States Conference.

“Balancing school and soccer can be tough,” she admits. “We are in class or clinicals during the day and sometimes practice until 10 p.m. When you come home from practice, you have to be disciplined enough to open a book and start studying.”

Hometown: Baldwin, Pa.

Carlow’s convenient location, within walking distance of world-renowned hospitals, was a huge plus for Schwartz, and the university’s intimate, supportive atmosphere gave her the foundation she needed.

“Going into nursing, I knew that I would be responsible for other people’s lives,” she says. “I wanted to have hands-on time with my professors. I wanted to go to a school where my professors knew me as Sarah Schwartz and not number 2,365.”

GUIDING THE WAY: NEW COMPASS CURRICULUM

CARLOW C O M PA S S

The redesign of Carlow University’s undergraduate general education curriculum is a top strategic priority of the 2014-19 strategic plan.

Designed with broad input from the entire Carlow community, the new Carlow Compass curriculum was introduced in the fall of 2015 to more than 200 incoming first-year students.

Emphasizing career-readiness and ethical leadership, the Carlow Compass enables students to design, navigate, and explore their own educational pathways within their major courses of study, in alignment with the university’s mission, vision, and Mercy heritage. The tenets of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition and a belief in the transformative power of the liberal arts permeate the Compass. It is the most transferfriendly curriculum in university history, offering many opportunities for students to transfer general education credits from other institutions.

MAJOR CAPSTONE

JUNIOR ANCHOR COURSE ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

FOUR LIBERAL ARTS “BREADTH EXPERIENCE” CLUSTERS Minimum two experiences per each cluster

Carlow Compass Director Lou Boyle, PhD, is a firm believer in the power of the liberal arts in launching students’ careers.

“Research shows employers are looking for employees who have problem-solving skills, can work well with clients and co-workers, and who aren’t afraid to take the initiative,” says Boyle. “The Carlow Compass represents a more modern approach to learning and is an effort to make sure everyone is not so siloed from each other. It is really exciting and different from anything Carlow has done before.”

When Lindsay Zolkiewicz graduated from Carlow in December 2015, she was already one step ahead of the game.

“I found a job the day I graduated, working in a field I love,” says Zolkiewicz. She’s now working as a kindergarten and after-school teacher within the South Fayette School District.

A first-generation college student, Zolkiewicz transferred to Carlow from the Community College of Allegheny County. With an associate’s degree in hand and a few months’ experience teaching in a day care setting, she wanted to take her passion for working with young children to another level. Carlow’s small classes were a perfect fit—and a Carlow University Transfer Scholarship made the decision even easier. While at Carlow, Zolkiewicz received a Bright Horizon Scholarship from the Bright Future’s Scholarship program, a national program supporting early childhood education.

“Carlow made this easy for me,” she says. “Because my classes were so engaging, I found myself excelling in school like I never did before. I took advantage of every opportunity Carlow had, and that is what led to my current success.”

The solid education she received—and Carlow’s supportive environment—made all the difference.

“Carlow professors really want you to succeed,” she says. “They will do everything in their power to help you achieve your goals.”

ACADEMIC ADVANCES: EXCITING NEW DEGREE OPTIONS BACHELOR OF ARTS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE WITH A CONCENTRATION IN CORRECTIONS This degree is ideal for students who want to right wrongs and advocate for a fairer, more inclusive justice system. Criminal Justice students learn where, how, and why crimes affect individuals, families, and societies and how they can help change those dynamics.

ONLINE REGISTERED NURSE (RN) TO BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (BSN) IN NURSING Busy RNs looking for a competitive edge can now complete their RN-BSN completely online—in addition to in-class or hybrid options. Carlow University’s highly flexible program offers students the opportunity to stay in their current positions while earning this increasingly important degree.

HIGH PERFORMANCE LEARNING ONLINE Educators who want to play a pivotal role in redefining teaching and learning find the Master of Science in Leadership for High Performance Learning with optional Pennsylvania principal certification an exciting departure from the current culture of performance management and teaching-to-the-test.

RESPIRATORY CARE The demand for respiratory therapists is on the rise, and Carlow’s new Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care is one of only 60 programs in the nation to prepare students to care for patients with respiratory conditions and diseases.

POLITICAL SCIENCE WITH A CONCENTRATION IN COMPUTER INVESTIGATIONS AND SECURITY ISSUES Students ready to combat cyber crime and international terrorism will find just what they’re looking for in a new bachelor’s degree that is a perfect blend of technology and political science, putting learners on the cutting edge of the growing field of international security.

When Zachary Talley was looking at schools, there was something special about the feel of Carlow University—the small class sizes, the terrific faculty-student ratio.

He was also attracted by a one-of-a-kind opportunity: to be the point/shooting guard of the university’s first men’s basketball team. He was thrilled to enroll and to join that inaugural team.

“It was a great learning experience to be able to play at a university as a freshman,” says Talley.

This year, as a sophomore, Talley is part of another inaugural program at Carlow—the brand new Respiratory Care program.

Talley has lived with asthma his entire life and has worked extensively with respiratory therapists. Today, he wants to be able to reach out to others in similar situations.

He is looking forward to working in Carlow’s new respiratory simulation lab, where he can virtually dissect a body utilizing a state-of-the-art Anatomage table.

He’s also enjoying his second year on the basketball team— which, as he puts it, “plays together with even more chemistry, trust, and talent.

“The best way to describe it is that we became more than a team this year,” he explains. “We’ve become more like brothers.”

IGNITING DISCOVERY OPPORTUNITY WITHIN REACH

NURSING PARTNERSHIPS • Nursing professors Nancy Cupps, MSN, and Diana Paladino, MSN, have developed an innovative perinatal health coach program at Magee Women’s Hospital of UPMC—an exciting opportunity for undergraduate BSN students, thanks to an ongoing academic service partnership between Carlow and UPMC. • Deborah Mitchum, DNP, CRNP, director of Carlow’s Family Nurse Practitioner program, has partnered with Pittsburgh Mercy Health System to help develop a clinic focused on providing women’s health services to the underserved in the region. The project is supported by grant funding provided by McAuley Ministries.

Thanks to a $250,000 Highmark grant, Carlow’s College of Health and Wellness purchased state-of-the-art educational technology equipment for students in the university’s nursing and respiratory care programs—the Anatomage table and SimMan® 3G. The Anatomage table (pictured above) is a full-scale, touch-screen digital display with a library of more than 100 high-resolution models that allow students to explore the innerworkings of both human and animal bodies. SimMan® 3G, a life-size mannequin that simulates a full scope of medical, neurological, and physiological conditions, is located in the nursing simulation center.

• Five senior nursing students traveled to Johns Hopkins Medical Center (JHMC) thanks to connections made during Carlow’s 2015 Nursing Career Day, organized by the Office of Career Development in conjunction with Carla Tomas, MSN, RN, an instructor in the undergraduate nursing program, and Roberta Jones ’06, MSN, RN, a perioperative nurse educator at JHMC. The students toured the facility and had preliminary interviews for JHMC’s Critical Care Nurse Residency program.

CARLOW UNIVERSITY 13

INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIPS CITY OF PITTSBURGH Carlow offers City of Pittsburgh employees and their spouses or partners a 20 percent discount on any undergraduate or graduate program. Dependent children of city employees receive a $2,000 discount on full-time, undergraduate annual tuition.

DIOCESE OF PITTSBURGH Beginning in the fall of 2016, Carlow will reward parents who send their children to Diocese of Pittsburgh schools with a Catholic Education Grant totaling as much as $20,000 for each qualified student.

COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY (CCAC) Carlow University offers transfer scholarships to CCAC students and numerous new opportunities for graduates to advance their education:

UPMC SCHOOL OF NURSING Students who receive their RN diploma at one of UPMC’s three nursing schools may continue their education by seamlessly transferring into Carlow University’s RN-BSN program.

• Associate degree graduates may seamlessly transfer to Carlow to complete their bachelor’s degrees.

UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Carlow and the University of Pittsburgh School of Law are partnering to offer an early assurance 3+3 law program. Qualified students receive a $5,000 scholarship for their first year of law school.

• Nursing students are simultaneously admitted to Carlow’s RN-BSN program at a reduced tuition and may accelerate into the MSN program.

• Students of 25 allied health programs may continue their studies toward any Carlow bachelor’s degree.

• Graduates of CCAC’s business management program may continue toward Carlow’s Bachelor of Science in Management.

14 PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2014/2015

A first-year law student at Duquesne University, Taylor Corn mentors undergraduate minority students interested in pursuing legal careers. She is a member of the Women’s Law Association, the Black Student Law Association (BLSA), and the Animal Law Society. She’s also intrigued by criminal law, sports law, and property law.

A native of Pittsburgh’s North Side, Corn came to Carlow in 2013 as an adult transfer student with a smattering of community college credits under her belt. She knew she wanted to help people—and animals—and says law school was “always kind of on my radar,” but she credits her Carlow professors and experiential learning opportunities with helping her find the direction she needed.

She further solidified her career path as a participant in Carlow’s Women of Spirit® Pre-Law Workshop. When a Carlow alumna connected her with Tom Flaherty, judge on the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, it led to an internship that “was the best thing on my resume when I applied to law schools. That workshop made a big difference!” says Corn.

Corn is adamant that she wouldn’t be where she is today if it weren’t for the support she received at Carlow. One day, she hopes to give back to her alma mater.

“At a larger school, you are not guaranteed contact with professors. At Carlow, every single professor really cared about my success. They were always available to help. I probably wouldn’t have gone to law school if I hadn’t gone to Carlow.”

ALUMNI IMPACT: MOLLY DENNISON HOUGHTON ’74 Molly Dennison Houghton ’74 is frank when you ask her why she chose Carlow University—Mount Mercy as it was known then:“Scholarship money!” Because she was a first-generation college student, cost was a huge factor, but after touring many institutions, it also came down to the right fit.

Each year, hundreds of Carlow University alumni, parents, and friends express their support for the university through gifts to the Carlow Fund, which provides immediate, unrestricted income.

Carlow Fund gifts—of all sizes—impact every aspect of campus life. Most often, they underwrite financial aid packages, creating a foundation of financial stability for students. Scholarship support provided by Carlow Fund giving makes a world of difference for so many of our students.

In honor of our 1929 founding by the Sisters of Mercy, generous Carlow Fund donors who give $1,929 or more annually become members of the 1929 Society, a group of philanthropic alumni and friends of Carlow dedicated to financially supporting the university. In Fiscal Year 2015, 62 Carlow alumni and friends joined the 1929 Society.

16 PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2014/2015

Houghton fondly recalls the strong women she met here, particularly Sister Terry Coyne and Sister Maureen Walsh. She also made lifelong friends—including Carol Chieco Stewart, whom she met her very first day while taking the airport bus to freshmen orientation.

She speaks of Carlow with pride, describing an environment that opened the world up to her. She speaks with awe about women’s studies classes with Ellie Wymard and Edith Benziger, recalling the growth she and her classmates experienced and the mentors who guided them.

Houghton gives back to her alma mater at a leadership level via the Carlow Fund. She is quick to credit Carlow President Suzanne K. Mellon, PhD, with influencing her decision to become a 1929 Society member.

“Seeing Dr. Mellon’s commitment to the university, and that of other leaders within the campus community, made me want to be a part of Carlow in a bigger way,” she says.

Houghton emphasizes that Carlow has “gotten the strategy right” in terms of service to students and the greater Pittsburgh community, and in terms of offering a real, vibrant educational option. That is why she chooses to give.

NEW DEANS Inaugural deans were appointed to each of the university’s three colleges prior to the start of the 2015-2016 academic year. Each brings extensive teaching and publishing experience and provides unified, collaborative leadership to the new responsive academic structure.

LYNN GEORGE, PHD, RN, CNE Dean of the College of Health and Wellness

MATTHEW E. GORDLEY, PHD Dean of the College of Learning and Innovation

ALLYSON M. LOWE, PHD College of Leadership and Social Change

With a clinical focus on women’s health and a research focus on nursing education, Lynn George previously served as associate dean of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences at Robert Morris University. In her more than 25 years in academia, she has held numerous faculty and leadership positions, including department head for the nursing program at the Community College of Allegheny County— Boyce Campus.

Matthew E. Gordley previously served as associate dean of academics at Regent University School of Divinity in Virginia since 2011 and as a faculty member at the institution since 2005. He has held numerous faculty and leadership positions in his nearly 12 years in academia, including as chair of the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Regent University.

Allyson M. Lowe served as interim dean of Carlow’s College of Leadership and Social Change since 2014 and was a faculty member at the university since 2009. She has held numerous faculty and leadership positions in her 13 years in academia, including as director of the Pennsylvania Center for Women, Politics, and Public Policy for five years and as the Elsie Hillman Chair in Politics at Chatham University.

IN PURSUIT OF JUSTICE: SANDI DIMOLA, JD Sandi DiMola, JD, is the kind of professor students need to know if they have any inkling that a legal career might be in their futures.

Before transitioning to an academic career in 2007, DiMola had a 25-year legal career, beginning as a law clerk in federal district court and continuing as employment and immigration counsel to Wall Street financial-services firm Merrill Lynch. After this, she worked in private practice.

In 2011, she received a Fulbright award to study ethnic diversity and integration initiatives in Germany and the European Union. That work spawned a number of conference presentations and publications related to social inclusion of marginalized populations. Currently, she is involved as a researcher for the Department of Justice’s pilot initiative, Building Community Trust and Justice.

DiMola is a founding member of Mediators Beyond Borders, an NGO engaged in capacity building in post-conflict societies. She is program manager for the Program for Deliberative Democracy at Carnegie Mellon University, an initiative that involves conducting deliberative polls and forums on issues such as climate change. She has also

served as a consultant to Pittsburgh’s Arsenal Middle School to help facilitate a mediation plan for resolution of ethnic violence, a project funded by the Pittsburgh Foundation.

DiMola’s real-world experience is a great advantage for her students.

“I like to place students in situations where they are outside of their comfort zones and push them to develop skills in conflict resolution and resiliency,” says DiMola. “Today, students are likely to have more than one career. It’s good to learn not to be complacent and to know how to bounce back from difficult situations.”

“ Dr. DiMola takes the time to make sure all students fully understand the material we are learning. She’s there to talk whenever you need a helping hand. That’s what makes the experience at Carlow so good!”

THE SCIENCE AND ART OF PSYCHOLOGY: JOE ROBERTS, PHD It may not seem obvious to everyone, but English literature and psychology are closely related.

“Language is everything,” says Joe Roberts, PhD, associate professor and chair of the department of psychology and counseling at Carlow University. “It constructs whole worlds of subjective experience.

Even today, I will ask my clients how they can be the protagonists in their own stories.”

Roberts comes to this connection honestly. As a creative writing major at the University of Evansville, he can recall analyzing the motivations of characters in Moby Dick, King Lear, and Heart of Darkness with psychoanalytic, existential, and feminist theories.

“Many of the articles we read were taken directly from psychology journals,” he recalls. “I started seeing that people are not so different from characters in books.”

Although he believes he was always a psychologist at heart, after Evansville, he obtained his master’s in social work from the University of Nebraska and his doctorate in psychology at West Virginia University.

“I’ve greatly enjoyed teaching personality assessment to doctoral students in [Carlow’s] PsyD program,” he says. “It always seems like folk magic at the beginning of the semester, but, as it unfolds, I think students start to make connections between all kinds of [diagnostic] tests. To me, diagnostic assessment is a great merger of the science and art of psychology.”

“ Licensed mental health professionals really represent the backbone of the Pittsburgh treatment network. When our MSPC and PsyD students graduate, I know that they are working in schools, drug treatment facilities, private practices. We are helping make the community stronger and healthier.”

–Joe Roberts, PhD Chair, Department of Psychology and Counseling

THE CAMPUS SCHOOL OF CARLOW UNIVERSITY ENGAGING STUDENTS IN STEM FROM THE START The Campus School of Carlow University turns STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) into STEAM—adding an “A” for “Art.” The school’s STEAM+ curriculum focuses on a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary experiences.

Thanks to generous Benedum Foundation funding, the school is a regional satellite of Carnegie Mellon’s CREATE Lab (Community Robotics and Technology Empowerment) network. Additional funding supports program development— a McDonalds® MAC Grant (Making Activities Count) allows third-graders to learn programming languages such as Snap! and SCRATCH via the Finch robot, a bird-like device that can be programmed to talk, dance, or even glow. A product of CREATE Lab, the Finch is being further developed as an elementary-level computer science tool within Campus School classrooms.

“A-ha” happens every day at The Campus School. Preschoolers and kindergarteners roll up their sleeves and explore electrical components and circuits. Elementary and middle school students turn Hummingbird Robotics Kits (another CREATE Lab spin-off product) into physical representations of poetry and world cultures. And middle school students use GigaPan to create highdefinition panoramic photography that explores the impact of the Gilded Age. Campus School faculty receive training from ASSET STEM Education™, a national education improvement nonprofit, and work with Carlow University education faculty to further develop programming models and implement original designs. In March 2016, Campus School faculty will present their STEAM+ curriculum matrix at the annual conference of the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association.

22 PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2014/2015

GIVING THE GIFT OF STEM LISIAKS FUND NEW RESEARCH INITIATIVE STEM was not a buzzword when Janice Cygnaraowicz Lisiak ’71 was an undergraduate student in the late 1960s. Lisiak was a Carlow Cadet back then—an education program requiring a pastor’s recommendation and two years of parish or Campus School teaching post-graduation.

Lisiak taught at The Campus School for three years—starting during her third year as a Cadet. Later, after moving from the Pittsburgh area, she went on to earn her master’s degree in computer education and directed technology education at several schools, including the Northshore Education Consortium near Boston, where she developed a Learning and Leadership Program. In 2014, in honor of Lisiak’s Carlow

education, Lisiak and her husband Kenneth Lisiak founded the “Miss Janice” and Dr. Kenneth Lisiak Carlow Campus School-University Research Initiative, enabling students to collaborate on research with faculty. Carlow students further their own education while providing STEM-based learning modules for Campus School curriculum.

“Carlow launched my career,” says Lisiak, adding that this kind of giving “should come naturally. When you’ve gained so much in so many ways, you want to give it back to where it all began.”

CARLOW UNIVERSITY 23

IN THE SPOTLIGHT EMPLOYABILITY A recent survey of more than 1,200 colleges ranks Carlow University 69th in the nation in terms of helping its students improve their earnings and attain quality employment after graduation. Carlow is one of seven schools in Pennsylvania, and the only regional institution, listed in the top 100.

AFFORDABILITY For three consecutive years, Carlow University has been listed as a “best bang-for-the-buck” school by Washington Monthly’s annual ranking of colleges and universities. In 2015, out of 400 schools in the northeast US region, Carlow University was ranked 45th overall and cracked the top 10 among private colleges. Each year, Washington Monthly crafts a list of the colleges in America that do the best job of helping students attain marketable degrees at affordable prices.

MILITARY FRIENDLY® Carlow University has been named a Military Friendly® school by Victory Media, a veteran-owned business and the publisher of G.I. Jobs. Additionally, Carlow has signed a memorandum of understanding with the United States Department of Defense to be a preferred provider for education, which will allow military students to receive assistance with their Carlow tuition. The Military Friendly® Schools designation, a program in its seventh year, is awarded to colleges, universities, and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace military students and to dedicate resources to ensure their success in the classroom and after graduation.

24 PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2014/2015

SERVICE. Carlow has been recognized every year since 2005 by the President’s Honor Roll for Community Service for participation in events like Mercy Service Day, where Carlow students spend the day volunteering at more than a dozen different community development agencies.

THE CALLAGHAN SOCIETY MEMBERS Callaghan Society members are part of the Carlow University tradition that began in 1822, when the Callaghans, the adoptive parents of Catherine McAuley, founder of the Sisters of Mercy, made her the sole heir of their estate in Dublin. At that moment, they could not possibly have imagined the enormous good which would result from their bequest over the next two centuries.

Today, legacy commitments from Callaghan Society members through their wills, trusts, or other estate gifts ensure the vitality and development of Carlow University and its Mercy-based mission from one generation to the next.

WHY GIVE TO CARLOW? When you make a gift to Carlow University, you affirm our rich heritage and culture and ensure that learners of every age and background leave Carlow as career-ready, ethical leaders.

CHOOSE PURPOSEFUL GIVING In keeping with your philanthropic goals, you can direct your gift and the impact it will have on the lives of our students and on the future of the university.

THE CARLOW FUND Unrestricted annual giving is one of the most impactful ways you can support Carlow University. From scholarships to program development and facility upgrades, Carlow Fund gifts of any size are directed where the need is greatest and are vital to the success of the university. For more information about the Carlow Fund, please contact Aoife Toomey at 412.578.6654 or astoomey@carlow.edu.

SCHOLARSHIPS More than 90 percent of our students receive financial assistance.

Your gift of scholarship support through the Carlow Fund, or through a specially designated one-time or annual scholarship or a permanently endowed named fund, allows students to pursue a transformative education. You may give to an existing scholarship or discuss setting up a new one.

SPECIAL PURPOSE GIFTS Would you like to support current programmatic or student initiatives such as the Center for Global Learning or the Center for Faculty Excellence? Your support enables us to create and enhance programs and experiences for our students.

ENDOWMENT GIFTS A robust endowment is a hallmark of a strong university and a measure of its resilience. Permanently endowed gifts can be named and used to support programmatic, capital, and student needs. Because the principal is never spent and a portion of the investment income is reinvested, endowment funding helps programs and initiatives thrive for generations to come. You may choose to establish a permanently endowed fund for a minimum donation of $25,000, which can be paid over several years or included in your estate plan.

For more information on scholarships, special purpose gifts, or endowment giving, please contact Anita Dacal at 412.578.6343 or asdacal@carlow.edu or Marcia Wallander at 412.578.8772 or mmwallander@carlow.edu.

HONOR/MEMORIAL GIFTS All gifts can be made in honor or in memory of someone you wish to recognize in this thoughtful way.

REUNION/CLASS GIFTS Alumni celebrating special reunion years often make gifts to mark the occasion or as a class legacy. For more information, please contact Rose Woolley at 412.578.6274 or rmwoolley@carlow.edu.
