NO PLACE LIKE
HOME This fall, Mount Mercy’s $16 million Robert W. Plaster Athletic Complex, which includes the Busse Field softball complex, a multipurpose field, and the baseball stadium, opened for its debut season. For the first time in the athletic program’s history, the MMU Mustangs have a permanent outdoor home-field advantage of their very own. The complex serves six of MMU’s 18 intercollegiate sports: baseball, softball, men’s and women’s track and field, and men’s and women’s soccer. “Sometimes I can’t believe this is ours,” says long-time Sports Information Director Jason Furler ’95. While MMU’s outdoor athletes have enjoyed many victorious seasons in spite of having no home field, the need has always been there. No more longing for the fields at other schools. No more losing precious minutes loading up gear and vans, and driving across the Cedar Rapids metro area for practice at Xavier or Kennedy.
THANKS TO ALL WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE! Many thanks for the generosity, dedication, and support from so many donors, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends who made the Robert W. Plaster Athletic Complex possible. We extend special gratitude for lead gifts from:
“The coaches and staff are overjoyed for their student-athletes and the success
Robert W. Plaster Foundation
of their sports,” says Athletic Director Paul Gavin ’88. “I can’t wait to see our
Hall-Perrine Foundation
athletes grow, play, and learn over the years.”
Lavern T. and Audrey Busse Foundation
With a substantial lead gift from long-time board member John Rinderknecht, additional funds are helping support an addition to the Robert W. Plaster Athletic Complex: the conversion of the Barry K. Wendt building and neighboring warehouse into the Rinderknecht Athletic Center. When the renovation is complete, this facility will house athletic coaches’ offices, weight-training facilities, and meeting space for teams and staff. Without a doubt, it’s a great time to be a Mustang.

GIF TS UP TO $999
MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR TIME:
THE OLSON GIF TS Philanthropists Gerald and Audrey ’76 Olson have a compassionate vision: helping those who need it most. And they have generously given funds to help Mount Mercy do just that. The Olsons previously endowed a scholarship for Mount Mercy students who are parents of young children. They also committed significant funding to the Gerald & Audrey Olson Marriage & Family Therapy Clinic that offers specialized training to student therapists, enabling them to provide high-quality services in a professional clinic under the guidance of licensed practitioners—a critical community asset that sets the Mount Mercy Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) program apart. The Olson’s most-recent gift of $1 million established an endowed chair in the MFT program, allowing for cutting-edge teaching, research, and leadership, all of which attract exceptional students and nationwide recognition. Professor Randall Lyle, founding MFT program director, has accepted this inaugural honor. Under his leadership, Mount Mercy offers the only accredited, practice-oriented, master’s-level MFT program of its kind in the state and is well-positioned to launch its first-ever doctoral program. “We are pleased with Mount Mercy’s accomplishments in this field and are excited to support the expanding MFT program,” Audrey says. “This program provides opportunities for graduate students to deliver much-needed, low-cost mental health services to individuals, families, and veterans in the Cedar Rapids community that we hold so dear.” Learn more about Mount Mercy’s MFT Program at mtmercy.edu/mft and the Olson Marriage & Family Therapy Clinic at olsonmftclinic.com.

PAYING IT FORWARD: THE BROGHAMMER LEGACY Lucille Murphy graduated from Mount Mercy Commercial School in 1927, under the tutelage of the Sisters of Mercy. She married Dr. B.G. Broghammer, and they became active in their parish and local community. When Dr. Broghammer died suddenly in 1947, Lucille assumed responsibility for raising their six children. A firm believer in the importance of education, she made sure her children were well-educated. As a fitting tribute to the value of education, the Broghammer family established the Dr. B.G. & Lucille Broghammer Endowed Scholarship in 1983 to generate scholarships for Mount Mercy nursing students. Ninety years after her graduation, Lucille’s belief in the value of education was further reinforced. In February 2017, Lucille’s eldest son, Dr. Benjamin J. Broghammer, established a substantial endowed scholarship at Mount Mercy in memory of his wife, Marilyn, who was dedicated to giving and helping others. The Marilyn Muscat Broghammer Endowed Scholarship for Nursing provides support for juniors and seniors majoring in the undergraduate nursing program at Mount Mercy. It was established with the hope that, by providing tuition assistance, the Broghammer family can support students who wish to dedicate their lives to caring for others through a career in nursing. Because Benjamin and Marilyn recognized the value of investing in the education of their own eight children, this scholarship gives preference to students whose families have multiple children pursuing higher education. Coming from a family of five, Lauren Stopko was selected as the first recipient of the Marilyn Muscat Broghammer Endowed Scholarship. Stopko is currently studying nursing and is on the women’s volleyball team.

FIRST-EVER RECTORY FOR RESIDENT CHAPLAIN Mount Mercy Board Chair Brandt Worley and the Worley family graciously gifted the residence across the street from Warde Hall as the permanent rectory for Mount Mercy University. In honor of Worley’s mother, Charlotte Condon Worley, and her cousin, Father Gerald Condon, a retired Catholic priest in Cedar Rapids, the Condon Family Rectory provides a permanent home for Mount Mercy’s full-time chaplain, Father Tony Adawu. In October 2016, Archbishop Michael Jackels blessed the Condon Rectory at a ceremony including Father Tony, Sisters of Mercy, and numerous friends of Mount Mercy.

MUSTANG MAXIMIZES
MATCHING GIFT Hillary (Kaefring) Wehr ’16 completed an outstanding collegiate career, earning a bachelor’s degree in music. During Hillary’s senior year, her then-fiancé, Kyle Wehr, completed the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, becoming a member of the Roman Catholic Church under the direction of Mount Mercy’s chaplain, Father Tony Adawu. In August 2017, when others were heading back to campus to begin the fall semester, Hillary and her new husband, Kyle, pledged an online recurring gift to support two Mount Mercy programs near and dear to their hearts. Because of the matching gift program through Kyle’s employer, Nationwide Insurance, the Wehr family doubled their gift—providing resources for campus ministry programming, as well as two scholarships for students involved in campus music ensembles.

LEGACY OF SERVICE AND SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT
Lois Welch graduated from Mount Mercy Academy in 1949 and her husband, Tom Donovan, joined the Mount Mercy College lay advisory board in 1957. When it became the official Board of Trustees, Tom was elected chairman, a post he held until 1979. An active member of the board until 1992, he then held emeritus status until his death in 1997. After Tom’s death, Lois and her three children—Lisa Ott, Molly Fuller, and Michael Donovan—honored Tom’s legacy of service to Mount Mercy. By designating memorial gifts and a family contribution, they established the Thomas J. Donovan Endowed Scholarship to provide financial assistance to students in need. In keeping with the Donovans’ long-standing support, Lois included Mount Mercy in her estate plan—naming the university sole beneficiary of her IRA accounts. When Lois passed away in October 2016, her thoughtful planning resulted in a substantial gift designated to the scholarship, which has since been renamed the Thomas J. and Lois (Welch) Donovan Endowed Scholarship.

FIRST HURVIS FAMILY SCHOLAR
SERVING THE COMMUNITY Since 2013, the Caerus Foundation has funded the annual Hurvis Family Scholarship named in honor of founders Tom and Julie Hurvis. Each year, one four-year scholarship is given to a student who demonstrates financial need and academic promise, with preference given to a student from the Providence St. Mel School in Chicago. Sha’Rhonda “Shay” Clark, from Providence St. Mel, is Mount Mercy’s first Hurvis Family scholar. She graduated in May 2017 with a degree in psychology and returned to Chicago to serve students at Northeastern Illinois University as a community service worker in the Center for College Access and Success. While at MMU, Clark was a four-year student-athlete on the Mustang track & field team. Her consistent performance as a sprinter put her near the top of the Mount Mercy record list in the open and sprint relays from 60-meter to 400-meter races, and everything in between. Clark was the go-to leader on the team, a mentor to younger students, and a great example to students of color. She was also an active member of Mount Mercy’s Black Student Union and helped students of all faiths and backgrounds feel welcome at the university.

GOLF CLASSIC
TEES UP A RECORD Every year on the first Thursday in September, the MMU athletic program hosts the Mount Mercy Golf Classic to raise funds for capital projects that aren’t reflected in the university budget. Now in its 15th year—each of which has been sponsored by the ESCO Group—the 2017 event drew a record 144 participants, raising just over $59,000 for the Mustang Athletic Club. Thirty-five teams of business supporters, alumni, trustees, and friends enjoyed the day at Hunters Ridge Golf Course netting the much-needed funds for Mustang athletics. Funds will be used to help support an addition to the Robert W. Plaster Athletic Complex: the conversion of the Barry K. Wendt building and neighboring warehouse into the Rinderknecht Athletic Center (made possible by a lead gift from long-time board member John Rinderknecht). When the renovation is complete, this facility will house athletic coaches’ offices, weight-training facilities, and meeting space for teams and staff. Since its inception, the Golf Classic has raised more than $500,000 to fund non-budgeted items for the Mount Mercy athletic program.

CATHERINE MCAULEY SCHOLARS PROGRAM
CHANGING LIVES Education shouldn’t be a luxury. It’s what Sisters of Mercy Foundress Catherine McAuley believed in 1827, and it’s what Mount Mercy University still believes today. That’s why, in 2014, Mount Mercy announced the Catherine McAuley Scholars Program. Now in its fourth academic year, the free-tuition program is changing lives—and donors believe in the cause. To qualify, students must graduate from an Iowa high school and meet an annual family income of $45,000 or less. Since its inception, 165 students have benefited. Currently, the university proudly supports 123 McAuley Scholars, with 55 students in the 2017–18 freshman class—the largest cohort to date. Free tuition is at the heart of the program, but student success is the priority. With $67,500 donated directly to the program in FY17, students take advantage of intensive academic advising, individualized success meetings, peer support meetings, professional and personal development workshops, study skills workshops, mentoring, and so much more.
