FROM THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS
“SO WHAT ARE WE CALLED TO DO TODAY? First, we are called to apply best practices in teaching and learning‐‐to create an exceptional, challenging, and engaging student learning environment. Some of those practices are going to be proven: the central part of an Edgewood College education for many years has been the relationship between our faculty and our students, and that has been bolstered by engaging learning practices like study abroad, civic engagement, student research and internships that we know allow students to derive ever greater value from their educational experiences. Other practices will emerge over time, as we learn more about how students learn and as we learn how to apply technology to support student learning and to expand access. Above all, we will be scholars of teaching and learning. We will assess what we do, we will sustain what we do well, and we will seek and pursue promising practices as they emerge. Second, we are called to articulate and to deliver on our unique impact on the greater Madison community. Edgewood College is an important institution in the greater Madison community, in our diocese, and in higher education. I’m not the face of the College, our faculty and staff aren’t the face of the College, and our students and alumni are not the face of the College. The face of Edgewood College is represented in the lives touched by those who have benefited from an Edgewood College education. We have the opportunity and the obligation to apply ourselves to meeting the needs of our local community, and I look forward to working with the many community leaders here today in living that out. Third, we must strengthen our financial models to support this unique educational environment. We must redouble our efforts to make sure that an Edgewood College education is affordable to students and families. We must be diligent financial stewards and we must seek novel approaches to provide an education with deep engagement and timely
completion while making sure that every family’s investment in Edgewood College is worth every minute of time and every penny of their financial investment in us. You read the same reports I do. You see that the focus of a college education seems to be around getting a job‐‐and that’s really important. We believe that our students should be well prepared for their first job after graduation. Recent results from our alumni survey suggests that we are doing very well on that measure. But our world and our community need more than that. Our world needs engaged informed citizens. It needs scholars determined to ask and explore answers to the complex questions we face. It needs servant leaders who are willing to contribute their communities in a variety of different ways. It needs creative thinkers, artists, and entrepreneurs who inspire us to look at the world differently. In short, our world needs, more than it ever has, those who have benefited from an Edgewood College education. As we close today then, let us pledge to join in partnership and community. Let us commit today to study communally and to search contemplatively, recognizing that sometimes our best thinking and dreaming comes in quiet, still, solitary moments, and at other times in engaged partnership with those around us. Let us commit today to speak courageously and to relate transparently with each other. Guided by our motto Cor ad Cor Loquitur may we have the confidence to speak our truth and the humility to listen deeply to those truths shared by others. Let us commit today to live authentically, guided by the 800 year old Dominican studium of study, reflection, and action‐‐ or as we describe it at Edgewood College, connecting learning, beliefs, and actions. Let us commit today to live boldly, not in fear, but with the fire experienced by St. Catherine of Siena. We do God’s work when we challenge the narrow, the short-term focus, the pursuit of self-interest, and the false choices that were prevalent in both Catherine’s day and our own. Let us commit today to dream globally and to collaborate intentionally, in the tradition of the venerable Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli, a young Italian preacher who worked in partnership with the native peoples of the upper Midwest in building, literally and figuratively, the local church in this area. Finally, let us commit today to honor our past by creating, ever anew, an Edgewood College that meets the needs of our world today and tomorrow. A college that strives every day to create a learning environment marked by excellence in teaching and learning. A college that lives as a community of engaged learners set ablaze by our shared search for the truth and our shared commitment to service. A college in the tradition of Dominic and Aquinas, with the liberal arts as the foundation and the context for all of our academic offerings. And a college that looks like the community we serve, where every single member of our faculty, staff, student body and community feels that they can be their best genuine self at Edgewood College. That’s the Edgewood College our world needs. And that’s the Edgewood College I am so excited to work alongside each of you to create.” – Dr. Scott Flanagan From the Inaugural Address October 24, 2014

MAJOR INITIATIVES AND GIFTS IN 2013-2014 In fall 2013, the College opened the newly renovated and expanded School of Nursing in DeRicci Hall. The cost of renovation totaled over $3 million, and the College received significant support from numerous donors to complete the project. The primary supporter of the renovation was the Henry J. Predolin Foundation, which provided over $2 million toward the costs. In recognition of this support as well as on-going contributions to student scholarships and additional capital improvements, on July 15, 2013 the College announced the formal creation of the Henry Predolin School of Nursing. In October 2013, the Henry Predolin School of Nursing received a $1 million gift by the members of Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin to create the Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin Center for Primary Care Innovation. The gift will be used to develop the Center and engage and enlist Edgewood College nursing students and graduates in innovative and progressive models of primary care delivery. In May 2014 the College announced the lead gift to its endowment fund supporting the visual and theatre arts. The gift from the Pleasant T. Rowland Foundation honors Diane Ballweg ’75 MBA ’07 for her leadership of and generosity to many of Madison’s cultural and arts organizations. At the request of Ms. Rowland, the theatre at The Stream has been named the Diane Ballweg Theatre.
