Dr Sucharita Mukherjee served as chair of the Joint Faculty Assembly and Senate as higher education institutions faced numerous challenges, including loss of federal funding and threats to inclusive policies During her tenure as Vice Chair of the Assembly and Senate and Chair of the Coordinating Committee for Academic Policies and Standards (CCAPS) in 2023-24, she assisted in streamlining the process for introduction of new programs and initiated work with the Innovations Steering Committee to define majors, minors, and certificates
Throughout her tenure, Sucharita sought to ensure that all voices were heard and tried to find common ground. She is a passionate advocate for faculty, staff, and students.
As chair of the assembly, Sucharita has not shied away from complex conversations like the ongoing work by Ad Hoc Committee on Faculty Rank and Terms of Service (RTS) and the final report of the Integrations Curriculum Review Committee. She consistently has raised the concerns of the faculty with the Provost and Associate Provost and maintained open lines of communication with the administration. She works to overcome challenges with graceful persistence.
We are all grateful for your service. Thank you Sucharita!

The Academic Advisor of the Year Award was established in 1985 It is awarded to two faculty and/ or professional advisors who have distinctly contributed to the advising program, as well as to individual student development and growth throughout the academic year Faculty and professional advisors at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University are eligible for this award
The 2025 Advising Award recipients are Bob Kachelski and Alicia Peterson.
Dr. Robert Kachelski: Dr. Kachelski exemplifies what we are looking for in our faculty advisors at CSB and SJU. One advisee states, “Bob has met my academic and post-professional planning needs and then some. He has met me where I am at (in times of uncertainty/anxiousness and times of excitement/clarity) when it comes to career exploration and helped me explore options I never would've on my own, helping me find exactly what I want to do in life.”
Another Advisees says, “Dr. Kachelski always has ample time to meet and talk with his advisees about whatever they need. While I was abroad, he made sure he was available to respond to emails and look over my plans despite the time difference. Additionally, his enthusiasm for psychology and helping students further their college and future careers is evident. He knows so much about the department and has provided me with countless opportunities for classes that will help me determine what I want to do in the future Dr Kachelski truly goes above and beyond When I went to my advising meeting, he had prepared beforehand and was able to offer advice on classes I should take and would really like There were classes I didn't even consider or know about that he showed me existed ”
In addition to student advising, he provides his students he mentors his colleagues They state, “Not only does Dr Kachelski share quality information with his advisees, tailoring it for their unique needs; he also regularly shares it with his colleagues. We seek out his wisdom, often consulting or referring our advisees to him for tricky and unique considerations. Dr. Kachelski meets these challenges with wisdom and grace. In doing so, he is not only an outstanding advisor for his own advisees, but he regularly makes the rest of us better advisors too.”
Alicia Peterson
Dr. Peterson’s advising addresses the complexities of advising on transactional issues, transferring into a complex curriculum, relational issues, and transformational possibilities for her students One student stated, “My transfer process was complex, with many moving parts, and I was in constant communication throughout registration week. Dr. Peterson consistently went out of her way to help me, no matter the challenge. Even when the best course of action was switching majors, outside of her field, she still took the time to guide me through it. She went above and beyond, and I’m truly grateful for her support.”
On of her colleagues wrote, “Alicia is a fantastic advisor. She is an advocate for her students and is committed to their success across their four years. She is willing to be an "intrusive" mentor, who holds their advisees accountable and pushes her students to go beyond their safety bubble to try things - research, summer programs, classes - that might engage them in new ways.”
The Gender Education Development Award was established in 2008 and was later renamed in honor of Sister Linda Kulzer, OSB This award recognizes a member of the CSB and SJU faculty who has contributed to students’ gender education through curricular leadership, courses taught, scholarship, and/or mentoring students independent of normal classroom teaching Sister Linda, CSB’s Vice President for Academic Affairs from 1977-85 and a Professor Emerita of Education, was a pioneer in the colleges’ earliest efforts to integrate gender into the curriculum The 2025 Sister Linda Kulzer Gender Educator Award recipient is Dr Majel Baker Majel Baker
Dr Majel Baker joined the CSB+SJU Psychology Department in 2022 Her deep and unwavering commitment to addressing representation and marginalized voices is a hallmark of her work visible in her teaching, research, and service. In her own words, Baker grounds her “approach to psychology within an understanding of systemic structures of misogyny, racism, and class oppression ” And that grounding comes through clearly in every aspect of her work. One student put it beautifully, writing, “you helped my love for learning about gender and equality grow.”
She creates classroom spaces where every voice matters, where diverse perspectives are welcomed and celebrated. A student reflected: “This was a talent of Majel: making all her students feel seen through her teaching.” Her creative teaching blending academic rigor with practices like mindfulness helps students connect personally and intellectually But more than just educating, Baker empowers Her courses encourage students to not only understand injustice, but take action. As one student shared, “We were always encouraged to look for solutions to the inequities we learned about and experienced.” She pushes students to become agents of change
Baker’s influence reaches far beyond the classroom. As a mentor, she has guided meaningful undergraduate research on topics of inequality and inclusion, helping students grow into thoughtful scholars and leaders Her scholarship on sexism in STEM fields and broader culture has also strengthened gender education across the institution, in her field, and in higher education. In the past three years, in addition to several co-authored conference presentations with both students and colleagues, Baker has published five co-authored journal articles on gender or identity-related topics and has two more under review
Through her service, Baker has advanced gender education across the campus community. She is a member of the Gender Studies Steering Committee, managing the tracking and coordination of course catalog information for the program Baker also serves as an ad hoc member of the Women in STEM Faculty Advisory Committee and a mentor for students in that program. A recognized faculty expert on the Cultural and Social Difference designation in the general education curriculum, Baker was appointed as an interim member of the General Education Curriculum Committee specifically for her expertise and has been an invited speaker for faculty development workshops. As one student put it simply: “Dr. Baker does not just teach about equity she practices it in her job.” And the best part? This feels like just the beginning.
Dr Baker’s leadership, innovative pedagogy, impactful scholarship, and unwavering dedication to inclusion makes her a truly deserving recipient of the Sr. Linda Kulzer Gender Education Award. Congratulations Majel!
The Catholic Benedictine Educator Award recognizes creative engagement between the Catholic Benedictine tradition and teaching throughout the curriculum. This award affirms a CSB and SJU faculty member whose exemplary teaching successfully integrates the Catholic Benedictine tradition with courses in their academic discipline and/or the Integrations Curriculum.
The recipient of the 2025 Catholic Benedictine Award is Professor Steven Lemke.
As an Environmental Art professor, Steven Lemke enjoys collaborating with students to cultivate their studio art skills in relation to ethical, social, and spiritual themes Highlighting the rich engagement of the Benedictine tradition with the arts, he encourages students to employ their technical skill and artistic expression in service of the common good In Steven’s Environmental Art and Architecture course, students connect the Catholic, Benedictine values of human dignity, preferential option for the poor, and care for creation with contemporary ecological challenges In his Integrations 300 course, “Design for the Common Good,” students explore their sense of vocation in relation to the common good Students especially enjoy the challenges of innovative, timed, team-based competitions such as building a suspended chair from recycled cardboard within just one hour Steven has been actively engaged in Benedictine Institute programming and the Collegium Colloquy on Catholic intellectual life and teaching He has also supported diverse environmental art initiatives that align with Benedictine values of stewardship and care of place As Brother David Paul Lange notes in his nomination letter, “The list of Steven’s Benedictine and Catholic practices goes on and on, and it is making—and has indeed already made—an important contribution to the character of these two exceptional institutions ”
Congratulations Steven on being awarded the 2025 Catholic Benedictine Educator Award
The Jennifer Galovich Service Award recognizes outstanding faculty service to CSB and SJU. The Service Award was established in 2020 and is given annually to a faculty member who exemplifies demonstrated excellence in service to the institutions at both the departmental and institutional level. The award was named in honor of Dr. Jennifer Galovich, Professor Emerita of Mathematics, who demonstrated strong and exemplary service to the institutions during her 28-year career. In addition to her service to the mathematics department, she served as JFA chair and also served on numerous faculty governance committees. Her service as chair of the Faculty Handbook Committee is legendary.
The 2025 Jennifer Galovich Service Award recipient is Parker Wheatley.
Since starting his career at CSB and SJU two decades ago in 2005, Parker has ceaselessly engaged himself in a variety of service opportunities and is a very worthy recipient of the 2025 Jennifer Galovich Service award. His sincere efforts have benefited the institutions, our students, as well as the various academic departments he has been engaged with.
Parker’s career exemplifies his efforts to serve in faculty governance persistently and meaningfully. As a member of the Faculty Compensation and Benefits committee, Parker worked with colleagues to advocate faculty welfare by developing a systematic method to forecast faculty salaries. This work continues to be the basis of current FCBC efforts. Besides serving in faculty governance standing committees such as the Rank and Tenure Committee, the General Education Curriculum Committee and the Task Force on Joint Governance, Parker served as Vice Chair and Chair of the faculty at a challenging time immediately after the Covid-19 pandemic followed by the Academic Program Prioritization process. Both circumstances required overtime work to advocate for faculty.
Serving the Department of Economics as Chair for seven years and Program Review Coordinator during the department’s last program review, Parker has worked for the welfare of students and the wellbeing of colleagues. Whether it is by mentoring junior colleagues, organizing departmental socials to foster a collegial environment or by advocating on behalf of the Department to other campus constituents, Parker has worked with dedication to strengthen the quality of teaching and maintain high departmental standards.
Parker’s academic services have not been limited to Economics. He developed and co directs the Data Analytics minor and was active in the process of creating the Finance Major and Minor. Both offerings have benefited our students and our institutions.
Parker’s dedication and hard work has made CSB and SJU a better place over the years. Thank you, Parker, for all your work! Congratulations Parker!
Sister Mary Grell served students on both campuses for more than 35 years with intelligence, skill, dedication, and genuine affection She graduated from the College of Saint Benedict in 1933 with a baccalaureate degree in Botany and Chemistry. She did research in Germany on a Fulbright Grant in the 1950s and continued to do productive research on cells during the rest of her career here and at St. Anselm’s College in New Hampshire. Following further study in biology and cytogenetics at St. Louis University and Fordham, she returned to our campus and began her remarkable teaching career. She served as president of the college from 1963 to 1968.
Bob Spaeth was many things to many people, but in all things, he was a teacher, first at Saint John’s College, Annapolis, where he taught the full range of the Great Books, and then, from 1979 until his death in 1994, here at Saint John’s in Collegeville, in the departments of Philosophy and Mathematics. He also taught in the Christian Humanism program, as well as Senior Seminar and First Year Symposium, and was Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences from 1979 through 1988. Both as dean and through his own teaching, Bob sought to inspire our learning community and was dedicated to the quality of our teaching faculty.
We celebrate the difference Sister Mary Grell and Bob Spaeth made at CSB and SJU through our recognition each year of a member of our faculty who represents the best of teaching and learning here at our colleges. The 2025 Sister Mary Grell/Robert Spaeth Teacher of Distinction Award recipient is Dr. Jason Schlude.
Dr. Schlude’s nomination letter included these powerful words: “[W]hen you take a class with Dr. Schlude, let alone become his advisee, you are signing up for a relationship that includes a deep commitment to your education, growth, and value as a person that can extend well beyond your college career.” Dr. Schlude represents the best of our Liberal Arts identity in the service of student growth His teaching philosophy is organized around four pedagogical bases First, his classes are deeply interdisciplinary, allowing students to think with and through very different texts and disciplines (including archaeology) to reach new and unexpected conclusions Second, he empowers students to be brave and creative in tackling big questions as well as to be humble and empathetic in the face of historical and cultural differences This means effectively connecting ancient texts and ideas to contemporary problems One clear example can be seen in his “Grand Strategy” summit, which invited the whole university to consider what leaders today can learn from diverse sources of wisdom Third, Dr Schlude’s seminar-style classes demonstrate learning as a communal endeavor He functions not as a subject matter expert but a Socratic midwife, helping students bring new insights forth His mentorship of students grows their scholarly understanding, both inside and outside of the classroom. Finally, Dr. Schlude is radically present to his students, not only academically but in some of their most significant intellectual and personal growth moments. As one former student described it, Dr. Schlude is not merely educating students but forming them for a lifetime of learning and relationship.
Dr. Schlude is mindful of his own story of transformation through a Liberal Arts education, seeing his teaching as the passing on of a gift he has been given. He reflects on how he has grown as a teacher in his 11 years at CSB+SJU, and demonstrates that being an effective teacher is a craft to be continually practiced and developed. As a teacher, he is always evolving: incorporating student insights, using new technologies, and learning to use (and write!) textbooks. The same wonder that characterizes an ideal student characterizes this excellent teacher. Dr. Schlude witnesses to a central tenet of CSB+SJU: the ideas, people, and teachers met in our classrooms can truly transform lives. Congratulations, Jason!
We extend our sincere gratitude to Julie Lynch for her 23 years of dedicated service at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University. Since joining in 2002, Julie has been an essential member of the Communication Department, guiding first-year students and teaching courses in public speaking, Learning Integrations, and Listening for Justice.
She has skillfully guided countless first-year students through their inaugural year of college as she taught multiple versions of first year seminars. She may be most known for her work in the Listening course, now known as Listening for Justice. This course, renowned for its emphasis on contemplative listening and deep spiritual connection with the self and others, has been in regular demand by students.
Julie earned her Spiritual Direction Licensure in 2006 and has served as a campus spiritual director. She received the Benedictine Educator Award in 2023 for her engagement with Benedictine and Catholic teachings, and the Academic Advisor of the Year award in 2017, recognizing her tireless efforts to support and guide students.
Julie also has been an active scholar, presenting papers and leading workshops with the International Listening Association. She also brought her expertise in conflict resolution and restorative justice to campus, completing Civil Mediation Training and earning mediation qualifications under Minnesota General Rules of Practice.
Most recently Julie directed the Greece study abroad program, crafting meaningful experiences for her students and guiding their cultural exploration.
Julie has been a generous and supportive colleague, always ready to share ideas, problem-solve, and help carry the load. Her commitment to service - service to students, service to her department, service St. Ben’s and St. John’s, and service to the larger community, is a hallmark of her career. Julie will be missed by her colleagues not only for her deep dedication to our students, but also as someone who always makes sure we are taking care of our social needs outside of work as well.
We are deeply grateful for Julie’s service and commitment to the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University!
Dr. Philip Chu joined the Biology Department at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University in 1998. Phil earned a B.A. at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan and a Ph.D. in biology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. During his time at CSB and SJU, Phil has taught over a dozen different courses, including various iterations of the biology introductory sequence, as well as multiple upper divisions courses such as the Biology of Birds, Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates, Natural History of Terrestrial Vertebrates, and Evolution.
Phil is an excellent teacher, with students unanimously praising his methodical teaching style as well as his genuinely kind personality. They find him to be reliably friendly, approachable and enjoy talking with him. Phil is notorious for his engaging chalk-talks and ability to effectively convey information through elaborate outlines. Students also appreciate his sense of humor, saying that he never fails to make them laugh. The Natural History of Terrestrial Vertebrates course is a favorite among students; they absolutely love the field trips that occur during the second half of the semester to search for wildlife. Phil has inspired dozens of students to become aware of their natural surroundings, sparking their interest in birding and engaging them with the natural world.
Phil has been a remarkable colleague within the Biology Department and greater institutions. He has provided extensive and effective service, some of which includes the Faculty Handbook Committee, FCBC, Rank and Tenure Committee, Academic Assessment Committee, and interim Biology Chair for multiple semesters. He has also contributed to multiple rounds of Biology curriculum revisions and continues to provide thoughtful and helpful suggestions for Biology curriculum revision even in his last semester teaching.
Phil’s colleagues will miss his hilarious, self-depracating sense of humor that can lighten the mood in any situation, as well his articulate and precise way of communicating, and his unmatched attention to detail. Phil has been a constant source of thoughtful, calm, level-headed, and logical input, whether in department meetings, or during personal conversations. We are grateful for his friendship and willingness to always have a fun chat.
Finally, it would be an oversight to omit Phil’s great passion birds! He is one of the most highly respected birders in the state of Minnesota. Phil has contributed countless valuable species data and descriptions to the Minnesota Ornithology Union and published many articles in the associated journal, the Loon. During his retirement, we are certain he will continue to build his birding lists to reach 400 species observed for the state of Minnesota.
Thank you Phil for your generous commitment and dedication to CSB and SJU!
Dr Noreen Herzfeld personifies the very best of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University, particularly our institutions’ capacities to promote dialogue in the pursuit of wisdom. Noreen is a bridge builder and futurist of sorts. Her prodigious accomplishments in the areas of computer science and spirituality have positioned her well to make contributions to the burning contemporary issue of the ethics of Artificial Intelligence Noreen’s scholarship, with its reasoned reflection on machines, computers, and human beings, offers a way of moving our thinking about AI in constructive ways.
Noreen has blazed her own path at Saint Ben’s and Saint John’s. Arriving in 1982 with double MA degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science, she began service in the Department of Computer Science where she gained tenure She helped to shape the curriculum for the fledgling department developing classes that had not been taught here before. She continued that when she developed an innovative computer ethics course that was tailored to fit the core curriculum in the early 2000s. She shepherded the department through program review and accreditation twice
Not satisfied to just teach computer science, she pursued a doctoral degree in Spirituality. Thereafter she taught effectively in both the Computer Science and Theology Department, eventually adding in the School of Theology and Seminary. Her persistence and passion in bringing together science and theology has born much fruit for our two institutions She served as Chair of Computer Science for two different terms Her work on CSB+SJU college and university committees reads like it’s a directory with work on more than 25 committees spanning 40 years of service. Her tenure as the Nicholas and Bernice Reuter Professor of Science and Religion has yielded annual lectures, classroom visits, book conversations, and opportunities for CSB+SJU students to discover the generative connections among the Christian intellectual life, Benedictine Spirituality, and human scientific endeavor Along the way, she has secured many grants for the Advancement of Science: grants which have focused on the ways in which we encourage our teachers to bring together these two areas, which seem to have conflicting goals and presuppositions.
Noreen has published four monographs, edited three major volumes, and produced over twenty book chapters and journal articles in the past 20 years alone. The number of invited lectures and public presentations is significant, bringing her to some of the most prestigious schools and scholarly societies across the U.S. and Europe. Noreen has also acted as a Senior Research Associate in the Science and Research Center (ZRS) at Koper in Slovenia, cultivating connections between U S. and international scholars Dr Herzfeld has quietly and humbly served CSB and SJU, including the School of Theology and Seminary, with grace, intellectual force, and Benedictine hospitality while modeling a commitment to the lifelong pursuit of wisdom.
Our communities, including the monastic communities where she has dedicated time and friendship, owe Noreen much for her presence and her contributions She has shown us how it is possible to evolve and to grow stronger through change even as we appreciate stability and sense of place. Thank you Noreen!
Dr. Bill Lamberts joined the CSB and SJU Biology Department in 1996. Bill earned a Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior from the University of Minnesota in 1996 and a B.S. in Biology (magna cum laude) with philosophy and mathematics minors from Houghton College in 1981. His varied undergraduate interests foreshadowed his role as a valued member of the Biology Department, and an important contributor to the general education curriculum, Honors Program, Asian Studies, Environmental Studies, and study abroad programs. Bill taught over 25 different CSB and SJU courses and helped uncounted students deepen their relationship with the natural world: canoeing the Missouri River in Montana and the headwaters of the Mississippi (in the snow and rain), leading field research in the Bahamas, exploring the Pacific Northwest, dogsledding in BWCA, and leading a field course on the geology, ecology, history, policy, and conservation of the Minnesota north woods. Bill is, deservedly, proud that he has taken students out in canoes on Stumpf Lake over 100 times and none of them ever fell in.
Bill is passionate about helping students build connection with other parts of the world. He took students to China (four times, for study abroad and summer research exchanges), Tokyo, and South Africa. He taught Aquatic Ecology to Chinese students at Southwest University in China, regularly hosted Chinese students in summer research, and served advisory roles for CGE.
Bill steadfastly maintained focus on student learning during his seven years as department chair and ten years as introductory biology coordinator. He received thirteen curriculum development grants for Biology, Asian Studies, and Environmental Studies curricula and his liberal arts expertise shaped the general education curriculum. He helped revise the Honors program, served on the Honors Advisory Group, and taught the interdisciplinary Controversy and the Scientific Community course. Bill was also a Lilly Fellow.
Colleagues will miss his dry and hilarious sense of humor, empathy, advocacy, and all-around decency. He is an understated comedian moonlighting as a limnologist, an excellent story-teller, and the consummate academic: wise, witty, and unapologetically nerdy (he speaks Klingon as fluently as he recites zooplankton Latin names) We aspire to his Stumpf canoeing record
Thank you, Bill, for your incredible years of service and dedication to the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University!
Dr. Parker Wheatley joined the Department of Economics at CSB and SJU in 2005. A dedicated teacher, a tireless worker and ever striving to expand the knowledge of Economics to a broad range of students, Parker has been an indispensable part of the department since joining it. Whether by strengthening the teaching of existing courses in Microeconomics or developing new electives in existing areas of Industrial Organization and evolving areas such as Behavioral Economics Parker has always sought to provide students with a quality education in Economics whether it be in the Introduction or the Capstone course. Alums widely acknowledge the lifelong benefits of training received in his courses.
During his career of 20 years at the department, he has served as Chair for six years, working to mentor junior colleagues, strengthen departmental outreach and support the department as older colleagues retired. As program review coordinator (2020-2021), his work helped strengthen the departmental curriculum and expand it to include concentrations in Finance, Data Analytics and Public Policy, thus increasing options for students and incorporating interdisciplinary collaboration. Parker’s service to the College and University has been extensive and stupendous. Apart from serving extensively in faculty governance standing committees, he led the faculty as Vice Chair and Chair of the Faculty Senate and Assembly during and immediately after the challenge of the pandemic. His efforts towards co-creating and co-directing the Data Analytics Minor has served students by helping them get training and experience in a discipline immensely relevant for their future career pathways.
Parker’s sincerity and dedication to his profession as an educator, researcher and professional have all been exemplary. Whether it be supervising Distinguished Theses or teaching students in his varied courses, he has always held both himself and his students to high standards. Even with teaching and extensive service, he has been an active scholar, publishing peer reviewed research and presenting his research to peers. As an advisor, he spent hours talking with students and following up on their wellbeing. And most importantly, he has been a tireless advocate for the Economics Department with all its many staffing challenges over the years. Parker’s early retirement leaves the department with a vacuum, that will be challenging to fill.
Thank you, Parker, for your many years of service and dedication to the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University!
