A

s Mount Saint Mary College approaches its 60th year in 2019-20, we find ourselves looking back with pride, and looking forward with anticipation.

In my first six months as president, I have devoted my energy to getting a deep understanding of the Mount and our extensive community of students and parents, staff and faculty, partners and friends. Along the way, I found inspiration in the spirit of our students as they prepare for life after college.

This issue touches upon many of the enduring qualities embodied by the Mount community. One of the most recognizable hallmarks is a commitment to service, which is woven through the academic and extracurricular lives of our students, staff, and faculty.

In these pages, we introduce you to some shining examples of alumni who carried this into their post-college life, including Beth Mills ’77 and Steve Juergensen ’17. Although they graduated 40 years apart, both carry on a spirit of service that would make our founding Dominican Sisters proud.

In looking back, we also explore how the pillars of Dominican Life — Community, Study, Spirituality, and Service — helped to shape the college.

We spoke with four important figures — you might call them pillars of the Mount as well — to get a glimpse of how the college grew with these guiding principles.

You’ll find these and many other stories of interest here, including the latest news and alumni happenings, as well as the story of two professors and the boating trip that unexpectedly stranded them.

I wish you all a happy and healthy new year and hope to keep in touch,

A Dr. Jason N. Adsit P.S. The Mount has been blessed with the support of many friends and alumni. We present our Honor Roll of Donors (pgs. 44-60) with great appreciation to them.

An ’80s spin on a Shakespeare classic Scholars say Shakespeare may have written his comedy Love’s Labour’s Lost in the 1580s, but the Mount’s recent performance of the classic play brought viewers back to the good old days of the 1980s.

Love’s Labour’s Lost offered a humorous take on life, love, and the human condition. The play “feels like a John Hughes movie to me,” Phillips explained. “So it just seemed a natural fit.”

Tom Cruise took to the sky in Top Gun, the Nintendo Entertainment System was the cutting edge of video games, and Wang Chung’s “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” was one of the hottest songs around. The year was 1986 – the perfect era to serve as the backdrop of Love’s Labour’s Lost, says director James Phillips, associate professor of Theatre.

Working with the dedicated students to create something special is one of the best aspects of his job. “This is what I enjoy doing the most,” Phillips explained. “These are the things that the students will remember when they’re looking back on this 30 years from now.”

The production mixed the Bard’s original dialogue with famous ‘80s tracks like Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love a Bad Name,” infamous fashion trends, and iconic imagery.

“I have a theory that the ‘good old days’ are always roughly 30 years ago,” Phillips explained. “So right now, our good old days are in the ‘80s.”

HAPPENINGS AT THE MOUNT

Good to the last drop

The Mount community gave the gift of life at a recent blood drive. Along with medical professionals from the New York Blood Center, the college’s Nursing Student Union (NSU) assisted at the event. Nick Terzulli, president of the NSU (right), and Mack the Knight reminded students that every drop of blood donated could help save a life.

Getting down to business

The Business Advisory Council brings together Mount professionals and local business leaders to examine cutting edge business practices. The council is co-chaired by Thomas Fitzmaurice, assistant professor of Finance; and Michael Fox, assistant professor of Business Law and Pre-Law advisor.

‘Bold New World’ offered new point of view

The Mount hosted “A Day with Donna Wright: A Bold New World for Clinical Education and Professional Development” at the Mount. Wright, a consultant with Creative HealthCare Management, encouraged nurses to foster a culture of dialogue in the workplace.

Sakac Hall on track for Spring 2019

Sakac Hall, home to the Mount’s freshman women, is on track for a Spring 2019 reopening. Mold within the building necessitated moving the students to alternate housing for the majority of the Fall 2018 semester. Crews continue to work on the building through the winter break. In addition, preventative measures were taken, including improvements to the building envelope and HVAC systems.

The freshman students are scheduled to return this coming semester.

Campus eaglets named

I

t was a close race, but “Thomas and Dominic” (aka Tom and Dom) were selected by the Mount community as the nicknames for the pair of eaglets born on campus in the spring.

Many from the college and local communities submitted nicknames for the eaglets. The nicknames were voted on through various social media platforms by nearly 300 people.

The birds’ namesakes are Saint Dominic de Guzman, founder of the Dominican Order that established Mount Saint Mary College, and Saint Thomas Aquinas, a scholarly Dominican monk after whom the college’s main academic building is named.

Other suggestions included Wilbur and Orville, Bonnie and Clyde, Hudson and River, Birdy McBirdface, and Knight Flight.

Triplets kick off college career

Beginning their college careers together this fall were the Romaniello triplets of Waterbury, Conn. All of them were in the top 10 of their class.

Ashley and Haley selected the Mount for its prestigious Nursing program.

Ashley, who was the valedictorian of Wilby High School, had received a full scholarship to another college. However, she turned it down in favor of the Mount’s small class sizes and tight-knit, family atmosphere.

The third triplet, Jessica, is an English major on the Adolescence Education track. “I was planning on going to another college, but when I came with Haley to Accepted Student Day, I fell in love with the campus and how nice the people here are,” she said.

Schools of Nursing, Business upgraded

The Mount recently renovated the offices of the college’s Schools of Business and Nursing. The project transformed Aquinas Hall room 100, site of the former Curtin Memorial Library, into an enhanced working and learning space for the School of Business.

The college created five additional offices on this floor.

School of Nursing offices are on the second floor of Aquinas Hall. Upgrades included additional faculty offices and open spaces for students.

These renovations were made possible, in part, by two matching grants, both for $500,000. They were from Empire State Development and the state Higher Education Capital Matching Grant program (HECap).

College moves toward a ‘Clean Air’ campus

In an effort to reduce pollution and improve local air quality, Mount Saint Mary College has become a Clean Air NY Campus.

As a Clean Air NY Campus, the Mount offers assistance with carpooling, taking transit, biking, or walking to campus. Through a partnership with 511NY Rideshare, Clean Air NY helps commuters find easy, affordable, and sustainable alternatives to driving alone.

The initiative is being spearheaded by Lynn Maelia, professor of Chemistry.

“We need to be good stewards of the Earth,” she said. “Educating students about sustainability and how we can take care of our world is a responsibility we all bear.”

Seniors take the trophy at 2018 Mount Olympics

A

fter a demanding competition that included performances, relays, and more, the senior class claimed victory for the second year in a row at Mount Olympics, part of the college’s annual Spirit of the Mount Week.

About 700 students attended the competition.

Students also warmed up with the college’s annual bonfire, attended a kickoff Mass, enjoyed a powder puff football game, and more.

The junior class skit had a cameo by Fr. Greg, campus chaplain.

College continues Christmas traditions

Mount seniors network with the pros

Students, faculty, and staff also got into the holiday spirit at the annual Christmas Tree Lighting, with classic carols and hot chocolate.

Hosted by the Career Center, the series unites students with professionals in a variety of fields, including high profile recruiters and successful alumni. The gatherings afford personal connections that larger job fairs often can’t.

As it has each holiday season since 1974, Mount Saint Mary College presented a service of lessons and carols at the annual Christmas Vespers program. The singers lifted their voices to the heavens in the Chapel of the Most Holy Rosary in the Dominican Center.

Professor Durward Entrekin, Arts and Letters, directed.

With graduation only months away, Mount seniors got a jump on their career hunt at two Real World Connections events. About 40 professionals, including successful alumni, networked with the forward-thinking students.

Lip Sync Battle winners

Organized by the college’s Advancement office, Mount students were recently challenged to create a lip sync video for the Lip Sync Battle of Giving.

After voting by the Mount community, only one group lip synced their way to the top to claim the $1,000 prize – Danielle Petricca, Eliza Benfer, Lily Chimenti, and Camille Muschio with “You Make My Dreams” by Hall & Oates. Next semester, the group will reunite for one last song, this time with Mount President Dr. Jason Adsit and other faculty and staff.

Emotional Wellness Fair gives peace of mind

Students learned how to keep themselves healthy and happy at the Emotional Wellness Fair, hosted by the college’s Counseling Services.

Activities included expressive art projects, exercises to help students identify how they are thinking and feeling, ways to explore spirituality, exercise and athletics stations, and more.

“Sometimes we’re in such a rush, and we don’t stop to think, ‘How am I feeling? Am I taking care of myself?’ If we don’t draw attention to it, we forget about it,” explained Orin Strauchler, assistant dean of Student Support Services and director of Counseling.

Mount hosts Newburgh Ministry’s Making a Difference Awards Dinner

T

he Newburgh Ministry’s First Annual Making a Difference Awards Dinner, hosted recently at the Mount, recognized the outstanding efforts of local community members.

The dinner was held in celebration of Newburgh Ministry’s 35th anniversary. The ministry is a culturally diverse, grassroots organization located in the City of Newburgh’s east end. It serves the area’s low-income and homeless populations.

Mark Sanchez-Potter ’18 was one of those recognized for his service.

He enhanced the Newburgh community throughout his time at the Mount, including mentoring local students, leading a class of sixth graders from San Miguel Academy in the creation of the journal Old Newburgh, New Newburgh, and aiding in the success of the Jumpstart program at the Newburgh Ministry, which was founded by Mount students.

“The Newburgh Ministry inspires me with all the good work they do,” he said.

Dean Goldberg, associate professor of Communication Arts and Film Studies, serves as president of the Newburgh Ministry Board of Directors. “The Mount and the ministry are in the same family,” he explained, adding that he hopes the Mount’s long-standing friendship with the ministry will continue for many years to come.

‘El Futuro is Here!’

Joined by professor Charles Zola and Jeanne Conboy from the college’s Catholic and Dominican Institute, 14 Dominican Scholars of Hope enjoyed a service learning trip to the Mariandale Center in Ossining, N.Y.

Scholars serve and learn with Dominican Sisters

T

he Dominican Scholars of Hope (DSH) recently spent a day reflecting on St. Dominic’s Pillars of Study with the aid of their namesake, the Dominican Sisters of Hope.

Rooted in the values of the Judeo-Christian and Dominican heritage of the college, DSH is a nonacademic living and learning community for highly motivated Mount students.

The scholars traveled to the Mariandale Center in Ossining, N.Y. to help the sisters winterize their vegetable and herb gardens.

They harvested crops, pulled weeds, and more.

Sr. Bette Ann Jaster, OP, Environmental Program specialist, offered a reflection on contemporary ecological problems like global warming and pollution. She explained the importance of good stewardship of God’s creation and challenged the students to think critically about the world around them.

Sr. Jaster took the scholars on a tour of the property, which included stops at a shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Healing and a grotto dedicated to Our Lady of

the Rosary.

Freshman Richard Conboy said that the event provided “a peaceful atmosphere which allowed me to connect spiritually for the first time in a while. The walk that we took at the end was extra special to me because it allowed me to get some alone time to pray.”

The DSH program is spearheaded by Charles Zola, associate professor of Philosophy, director of the Mount’s Catholic and Dominican Institute, and assistant to the president for Mission Integration.

Four Mount faculty and staff members recently attended the “El Futuro is Here! Doing Campus Ministry and Theological Education Latinamente” conference held at Dominican University in Fall River, Ill. The conference inspired Catholic colleges and universities to better suit the spiritual and academic needs of the young Latino population.

The three-day conference drew about 100 participants from nearly 40 schools, including Notre Dame de Namur University and Boston College. Attending from the Mount were Sr. Peggy Murphy, OP, professor of Religious Studies; Roger May, Jr., resident director for Guzman Hall; Victor Azuaje, associate professor of Hispanic Studies, and Charles Zola, associate professor of Philosophy, director of the Mount’s Catholic and Dominican Institute, and assistant to the president for Mission Integration.

Sr. Murphy said the conference afforded an “increased understanding of the growth of the Latino community, and especially the number of Hispanic young people of college age. It was a very hopeful experience of the vitality of the Catholic tradition.”

It was revealed at the conference that about 40 percent of the Catholic Church in America is Latino. But as Zola notes, Latinos represent far fewer than 40 percent of students enrolled in Catholic colleges and universities.

It’s an especially important topic for Mount Saint Mary College, said Zola.

“This speaks to our Dominican mission and identity,” he said. “It’s not just a matter of enrollment, but also of community outreach and service.” www.msmc.edu

Stranded!

It was supposed to be a three-hour tour...

W

hen they set sail on the Neversink River on August 7, 2018, Mike Daven, professor of Mathematics; Doug Robinson, associate professor of Biology; and his teenage son, Corbin Robinson, expected to be home by dinner. The water had been deemed “low runnable,” and the 11-mile float trip was supposed to be an easy one.

Everyone in the group is an experienced woodsman, and in 2017, Daven and Robinson had successfully traversed nine miles of the Delaware River.

“It should have been fine,” said Robinson.

After furnishing their wives with the location of their upcoming adventure,

10

MOUNT SAINT MARY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | WINTER 2018-19

they set off. Daven parked his vehicle at what was planned to be the end of their run, and Robinson drove the team to their starting point.

“We get on the river, and the water is runnable. This looks like it’s going to be fantastic,” Robinson explained.

With Daven and Corbin in kayaks and Robinson in a canoe, they were off.

As anticipated, it was smooth sailing – until about the fourth mile. That’s when the rapids started getting rough, and the tiny ships were tossed.

Separated by a small distance, Robinson could only see the top of Daven’s head and his brightly colored personal flotation device (PFD), so it was difficult to tell exactly what had happened.

That is, until Robinson watched as his son was tossed into the drink as well.

“The back of the boat hit a rock, and then the current caught me and spun me around,” Corbin explained. “Then I flipped over. I knew that’s when we were in trouble.”

Luckily, neither Daven nor Corbin were ever completely underwater, thanks to their PFDs, Daven explained. It wasn’t a particularly dangerous situation since their feet were touching the bottom of the river. The real problem: the kayaks lazily continued down the river, leaving Daven literally up the river without a paddle. Corbin managed to hang on to his paddle, but not much else.

Robinson chased after the kayaks, and it would be another hour before the men regrouped – sans Daven’s paddle, but boats collected and ready for more. Within five minutes of setting out however, Corbin was in the river again, his boat submerged and jammed against some rocks. After setting it free, they forged ahead as best they could.

But by 7 pm, things weren’t looking good.

A change of plans “It’s clear that we have gone only about halfway, and the way things are going, we’re not going to finish before nightfall,” Daven explained.

According to Robinson, the men had traveled only seven miles in seven hours.

They pulled the boats to the side, and thanks to their GPS, they knew roughly where they were. What they didn’t know was that their waterproof bags were not as waterproof as advertised, and so they were down two cell phones. They soon discovered it didn’t matter anyway: there was no cell service.

With their families expecting them home hours ago, the men ditched the boats and tried to hike out to the road.

But lack of trails and steep inclines kept them from getting very far.

Setting up camp “was the only logical decision,” noted Robinson. “If something’s not going right, don’t keep wandering around. Stay put where you are.”

Corbin was more annoyed than afraid. “I wasn’t very worried. I just wanted to go home already. I wanted to stop walking around in my shoes with

“If something’s not going right, don’t keep wandering around. Stay put where you are.”

— Doug Robinson on the decision to camp for the night

no socks and my bathing suit.”

Fortunately, Robinson and Daven are no strangers to the wilderness. Earlier this year, the two men immersed about a dozen Mount students in experiential learning during 24 days in New Zealand. It was just one of many times Robinson had lead this study abroad experience. Camping is a regular part of those trips, he said.

Daven and the missing family Robinson made a fire using a lighter from their emergency supplies. They had plenty of water and enough food to get them through the night. Emergency blankets kept them warm and their PFDs served as pillows or mattresses.

The moral of the story: “Come prepared,” said Daven.

“The biggest issue was we couldn’t get ahold of our wives,” said Robinson.

The next morning, the group climbed high enough to get cell phone service.

On their single remaining phone, they called for help. That’s when they learned that 15 New York State Troopers and two search and rescue teams had been looking for them since 10 pm the night before. The helicopter, drone, and scuba divers who were being mobilized for the

search were called off.

On the way back to civilization, rescuers informed Daven, Robinson, and Corbin that they had spent the night in an area known to be inhabited by snakes and bears. “Thankfully, we didn’t see any of that,” said Daven.

Their wives, they added, were ecstatic to see them safe and sound.

Thankfully, the experience didn’t affect the group’s desire to continue their outdoor adventures. Robinson is now armed with a personal GPS locator beacon, which he is planning to bring on his six-month sabbatical to New Zealand in the Spring 2019 semester. During the sabbatical, he plans to work on animal research and establish new connections “to make our study abroad trip that much more incredible for our students.”

But as for their ill-fated river trip, the story truly came to a close days later.

The men drove out to the road nearest to their makeshift camp. With dry cellphones and plenty of water in-hand, they trudged into the woods. Soon, they found their kayaks and canoe, safe and sound, ready for another trip.

“We’re eager to get back on the river,” said Daven. www.msmc.edu

Academics

Mara Schiff

Nursing students receive ‘Blessing of the Hands’ About 100 Mount Nursing majors gathered at the college’s Chapel of the Most Holy Rosary early in the semester to have their hands blessed.

Fr. Gregoire Fluet, chaplain and director of Campus Ministry at the Mount, led the college’s first dedicated Blessing of the Hands ceremony.

“We have gathered together as a family to celebrate [the students’] service, and their healing, and their love,” said Fr. Fluet.

Susan LaRocco, dean of the School of Nursing, told the Nursing students to take a good look at their hands.

“What do you see?” she asked.

“Your hand is composed of 27 bones, three nerves, and some of the densest nerve endings in the entire body. But your hands are so much more than the muscles and bones you learn about in anatomy. Your hands are an extension of your heart. They can comfort a crying child. They can provide a caring touch to a terrified patient. They also will develop the technical skills to provide effective care.”

She added, “Let you heart and your mind guide your hands to provide compassionate, safe, and culturally appropriate care, now and throughout your career.”

School of Nursing professors assisted Fr. Fluet during the blessing, and Fr. Fluet ended the ceremony with the Mount Saint Mary College School of Nursing Prayer.

CARD conference examines ‘School to Prison Pipeline’

The 9th annual Center on Adolescent Research and Development (CARD) conference, “Restorative Justice: Dismantling the School to Prison Pipeline,” wowed local educators and Mount pre-teachers.

It featured keynote speaker Mara Schiff, associate professor in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the College for Design and Social Inquiry, and a performance of Notes from the Field, Reflections on the School to Prison Pipeline by playwright Anna Deavere Smith.

“When I talk about the School to Prison Pipeline, I’m talking about educational policies that criminalize particularly minor infractions of school rules,” explained Schiff.

She said that at-risk students – particularly students of color – often act out due to difficulties at home.

In the classroom, “If I know we [student and teacher] have a relationship and I can talk to you about what happened at home last night, I am far less likely to act out in your classroom because of what I am carrying inside,” she said.

Other speakers included Kelisa Wing, U.S. Department of Defense Teacher of the Year; Dr. Jason N. Adsit, the Mount’s president; and Mount Criminology professors Jenifer LeeGonyea and Kate Melody Burmon.

In the evening, Smith’s powerful performance gave a voice to those who have experienced the School to Prison Pipeline firsthand.

Robert Miller

Explore the relationship between sports and faith

When a ballplayer knocks one out of the park, does God take notice?

Robert Miller, associate professor of Religious Studies and Division of Philosophy and Religious Studies chair, kicked off the Fall 2018 semester’s Investigating Research on Campus (iROC) series with his talk, “Is God a Sports Fan? The Relationship between Sports and Faith.”

“In the Judeo-Christian tradition, we are taught to seek God in all things,” Miller explained, “including leisure and sports.”

So with this in mind, is God a sports fan? Probably, said Miller. However, the idea that it’s “God’s will” for a particular team to win needs to be sent back to the bleachers.

“To imply that God is controlling all the events, particularly in a sports game, would be to say that God removes every semblance of chance from the world – and free will as well,” Miller explained.

Other Fall 2018 iROCs included Rob Wakeman, assistant professor of English, revealing innuendo in Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure; Thuy Linh Nguyen, associate professor of History, discussing the illicit shadow economy of Vietnamese coal mines in the early 1900s; A. Reza Hossain, associate professor of Economics, who presented on the correlations between a mother’s education and childhood mortality rates in Bangladesh; Derek Sanderson, assistant librarian for Reference Services, who examined student library usage; and Michael Fox, assistant professor of Business Law and the PreLaw advisor, who explained ever-evolving anti-discrimination laws in the U.S.

Trading places: Mount seniors become student teachers

Seniors Kelsey Simeone, John Paul McLoughlin, and many of their fellow pre-teachers at Mount Saint Mary College celebrated a major milestone in fall 2018: They spent the semester on the other side of the classroom as student teachers in local school districts.

Simeone, an English major pursuing certification in Childhood and Special Education, taught at Cornwall Elementary School in Cornwall, N.Y., under the guidance of Mary Lynn Conklin, a 1999 Mount graduate.

“In my classes at the Mount, I learned how to prepare and plan for a lesson, design activities that were individualized for my students, and how to incorporate technology into my teaching,” Simeone noted.

Meanwhile, McLoughlin, a History major on the Adolescence Education certification track, was beginning this foray into student teaching at Highland High School in Highland, N.Y., where he taught several history classes.

Passionate about keeping his students engaged in his lessons, he noticed many in his class enjoyed superheroes. So when teaching about corporations and shareholders in the Gilded Age, he compared the historical topics to Batman’s alter ego, Bruce Wayne, who owns a corporation with multiple shareholders.

The lesson, he noted, was a success.

“My cooperating teacher has given me great advice, tools, and lesson ideas to do for when I am on my own,” he said. “The Mount has also given me a lot of confidence and has thoroughly prepared me to eventually have my own classroom.”

In his 55 years with the college, the English professor has taught in or chaired the Divisions of Humanities, Arts and Letters, and Religious Studies and Philosophy. As a scholar, Cotter brings much to the table. In addition to having enhanced the education of thousands of Mount students, he is a celebrated translator of Dante’s Commedia, a Fulbright-Hays lecturer, and a recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities grant. Cotter is the author of Beginnings: the First Twenty-Five Years of Mount Saint Mary College, A New Life: Learning the Way of Omega, and the Mount’s alma mater, among others. He is also one of only two individuals in the college’s history to have served as mace bearer at Commencement.

Currently the Mount’s longest-serving professor, Cotter has begun a phased retirement, though he has not yet selected when his final semester will be.

What was the college like when you first arrived?

Our population was growing pretty rapidly. In 1960 and 1961 – before I was even here – there were 18 students, three of them residents.

After Aquinas Hall opened in 1963, the year I arrived, there were 240 students, 64 of whom were residents.

At the time, I was one of seven laymen and 11 laywomen professors.

What were some of the college’s early initiatives?

In the early days, we were really involved in setting up committee work with Dr. Whittaker (another professor at the time). He was very important in giving us a sense of collegiality and setting up faculty participation through things like Faculty Senate. We were hard at work establishing ourselves as a college that was fully committed to our mission of education.

What’s one of your most significant academic accomplishments in your first decade at the Mount?

I got an NEH [National Endowment for the Humanities] grant to take the summer off here at the Mount in 1968. I ended up writing a book. I sat down and wrote, and wrote, and wrote all summer long, and I produced Inscape: The Christology and Poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins. That established me as a serious Hopkins scholar.

You’re also known for your rhyme-free translation of Dante’s Commedia. As the story goes, you began that project one Christmas morning in the 1980s.

James Finn Cotter, 1977

Yes, my kids weren’t up and I started the translation. It’s funny, the translation was on scraps of paper – the backs of envelopes. I was just working on it as a pastime at first.

I did the first five cantos that way!

What motivated you to donate much of your personal library to the Mount?

I’ve been interested in how the Bible was illuminated in the Middle Ages. Many of my books fit in well with the theme of the Saint John’s Bible, which [the Kaplan Library] recently bought a reproduction of.

But there’s also art books and other religion books. It’s a benefit to me to have somebody using the library I collected.

With retirement on the horizon, what do you enjoy about teaching at the Mount?

I enjoy working with anybody.

Students occupy my head when I’m teaching; I really do work hard to help them. I hope they leave my class with a love of the text. I very much enjoy reading what they wrote and helping them to improve.

MOUNT SAINT MARY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | WINTER 2018-19

Sr. Ann Sakac, OP, MSMC president from 1976-2008

Sr. Ann Sakac S

r. Ann Sakac, OP took the helm at Mount Saint Mary College in 1976, but she had been part of the college community since 1969 as a professor of English, assistant dean of students, and director of Residence Life. Under her 32-year leadership at the college, Sr. Sakac oversaw much of the college’s expansion from a fledgling institution to a pillar of the community. Some of the highlights of her tenure at the Mount were the development of the college’s first master’s degree program; the opening of the Kaplan Recreation Center and Hudson Hall; new and renovated residence halls; and the development of the Mathematics, Science and Technology Center in Aquinas Hall. Sr. Sakac retired in 2008, but she continues to be an important member of the local and Mount communities.

What was life at the Mount like during your first decade here?

In the early days, I lived in College Court 412 with freshmen; that was the Class of ’73. Life on campus was interesting. The ’70s were difficult years nationally: the economy was down, we had the Vietnam War, and we had national protests. Because there was so much unrest nationally, there was unrest on campus. I’m not saying we took part in huge protests, because we didn’t, but we did march on Broadway in honor of those killed at Kent State back in the early ’70s. But there was always a closeness among the students. You never felt alienated, and I know from having lived with students how much they appreciated their relationships with the faculty. That was a hallmark of the Mount in the early days – I think it still is.

What was one of the college’s early triumphs?

One of my goals when I was named president was to balance the budget.

We could not continue operating with annual deficits. And that’s where community support became so important.

The Evening News was very supportive of the college. On more than one occasion, they talked about the Mount being the center of Newburgh. And

Sr. Ann Sakac 1977

so, the community supported us when it came time for development drives. I can’t thank the residents and businesses enough for the support they gave us as we balanced the budget and began the development of an endowment.

How else did we strengthen our relationship with the community?

St. Luke’s accepted our Nursing students for fieldwork; local businesses like IBM, big in Poughkeepsie, were also big supporters of the college; and small businesses like Afron Oil – those are the people who helped the Mount develop in the ’70s and early ’80s. As we grew, recognizing the support of those business and individuals, we knew that we had to get out into the community to help the community – they were helping us! Service had to become a hallmark of our operation, because we survived thanks to the community.

What do you hope all Mount students, past and present, take away from their time at the college?

The individual then picks up the role of service as they leave this campus and spread out nationally.

SPIRITUALITY

Sr. Margaret (Peggy) Murphy, OP, DMin, professor of Religious Studies

MOUNT SAINT MARY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | WINTER 2018-19

Sr. Peggy Murphy S

r. Margaret (Peggy) Murphy, OP, professor of Religious Studies, has been an exemplar of spirituality to the Mount community since she joined the faculty in 1999. After growing up with Dominican teachers in both elementary and high school in Queens, N.Y., Sr. Murphy decided to build on her strong faith by joining the novitiate of the Dominican Sisters of Amityville in 1962. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, a master’s degree in Pastoral Counseling, a master’s degree in Psychiatric Social Work, and a doctorate in Christian Spirituality. Sr. Murphy’s courses at the Mount focus on world religions and Dominican spirituality, but she is also a leader in the field of counseling as a certified substance abuse counselor, social worker, and conference speaker on child development and mental health issues. At the Mount, she is the face of the college’s Dominican Heritage tour, having led hundreds of tours highlighting the Mount’s history to new faculty, staff, and students. Spring 2019 will be her final semester as a full-time faculty member at the Mount, but she hopes to continue teaching as an adjunct professor.

How did the Dominican Sisters’ faith influence their decision to begin a school here in Newburgh?

Opening a women’s college in the early 1960s was particularly courageous as a number of women’s colleges were closing or merging at that time.

The sisters were visionaries, but also tireless workers – often a full-time professor was also a full-time administrator and a residence life director!

The spirituality that guided the decision for higher education came from the mission of the Dominican Order’s tradition of scholarship and questioning, based on St. Dominic’s ideal of “listening” – he was deeply touched by suffering. We hope to continue to listen to our students and inspire others to respectful listening and dialogue.

What is an example of Mount students living out spirituality?

Years ago, a group of our popular, star athletes were honoring their friendship with a young man from a nearby group home on Graduation Day. I’m not sure if many others on campus knew of this friendship, but the visitor told me how these friends from the Mount had taken him and his housemates to the bowling alley

Sr. Margaret (Peggy) Murphy

each weekend, and the great times they had shared together. These young men were more than academic and athletic successes – it was a glimpse of the Kingdom of Heaven on our campus that day.

Why do you enjoy teaching Religious Studies at the Mount?

I am always encouraged by our students who have overcome personal or family challenges and have persevered, as well as their parents who often sacrifice so much for the privilege of higher education. Also, I am motivated by the openness of the students as we explore the religious traditions of Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism. The quest for wholeness and transcendence exists in all of these traditions, and I am inspired by the acceptance and respect that our students express.

What are your hopes for the Mount’s future?

I offer this quote for hope for our future by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was a Protestant theologian executed by the Nazis in 1944 – “The victory is certain.” Knowing our students and their parents, I believe this is also true of our future.

SERVICE Frances Spielhagen, PhD, professor of Education, director of the Center for Adolescent Research and Development 22 MOUNT SAINT MARY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | WINTER 2018-19

Fran Spielhagen F

rances Spielhagen, professor of Education, has made a lasting impact on Mount students throughout her 16 years at the college. After briefly considering a life of service as a Dominican Sister, Spielhagen became an educator and is currently in her fifth decade of teaching. She had long been encouraging her high school students to consider the Mount and was impressed with their success upon graduation. Now, as a Mount professor, she enjoys guiding her students to that success. Spielhagen is also the co-founder of the Center for Adolescent Research and Development (CARD) and the director of Teach the Change and Teacher Opportunity Corps at the Mount, all of which provide resources, training, and support for local adolescence educators and promote teaching careers in high-need, underserved school districts. Spielhagen is currently planning to take her well-earned retirement in two years.

Why did you become a teacher?

Teaching is a sacred trust. There are only three professions that touch the essence of human life: ministry, medicine, and teaching. Ministry feeds the soul, medicine tends the body, and education develops the mind.

Teachers help everyone else become who they are supposed to be. What a wonderful way to spend your life!

What motivates you to empower at-risk youth?

I was a kid from the projects in Brooklyn, and we were very poor. I was bilingual and navigating between immigrant and American culture. But we always had in our family a sense that you had to give back, no matter what. So I began my teaching career in the Bronx in a working-class neighborhood, and really saw how families struggled there, and I also worked in Harlem. It wasn’t long before I incorporated a service-learning component into my classroom. With one class, we set up a soup kitchen project, and 20 years later, it’s still feeding people.

When I came to the Mount, I found myself in a city of kids who could have been me. I thought, “This is an opportunity to show these [college] students how to serve, and how to empower the youth of Newburgh.” We need to bring in role models underserved students can connect to.

What impact do you hope Mount Education alumni make in the world?

I loved being a classroom teacher, and I hope to convey that same passion to the teachers I prepare. Nothing gives me more pleasure than when I hear from an alumna that her new class assignment, although challenging, is working out…or hosting Mount alumni at Teach the Change so that they can share their insights with new candidates for the profession. I am thrilled when my Mount alumni “pay it forward!”

How has the college improved since your arrival in 2002?

Serving Newburgh is big [at the Mount] and we’re always finding ways to do more. It’s part of our tradition: we’re connected to this community.

Early in her career, before coming to the Mount, Spielhagen and her husband Jerry taught in a summer program in New York City.

What will you miss about teaching at the college?

Through CARD and Teach the Change, if we can support the profession, we’re also supporting the kids.

What I’ll be sad to leave is young, vibrant students with street cred, who know the classroom and are committed to community. That’s who we are at the Mount.

MOUNT SAINT MARY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | WINTER 2018-19

Beth Mills ’77 pays it forward with NYC co-op

W

hen Beth Mills arrived at Mount Saint Mary College in 1972, she found a welcoming community focused on helping her succeed.

Now, more than 40 years later, she is paying it forward through a similar community of her own.

Mills is the board president of 1346 Park Place HDFC, a co-op for low- to middle-income families in Brooklyn, N.Y. with a unique management approach: all residents are expected to pitch in and help maintain the upkeep of the building and agree to certain community living standards.

In exchange, the residents feel a sense of shared leadership and responsibility, and enjoy a positive and mutually respectful living space.

“Our community is based on trust, respect, responsibility, and earning the right to participate,” she said. “We identify in-house talent that enables us to manage all levels of operation.”

Over time, some residents have the opportunity to become shareholders, which most eagerly accept because they have grown to believe in the mission of the community and are proud to be a part of it. Doing so, Mills explains, helps families understand the benefits of ownership and determination.

She equates this process of ownership and encouragement to the way the Dominican Sisters of Hope encouraged her when she first arrived at the Mount.

Mills found out about the Mount through a chance conversation. She was an English and dual certification in Special and Elementary Education major. Mills was accepted into the Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) and spent her first year at the college, but due to family circumstances, had to make a choice at the end of that first year - would she remain at the Mount, or discontinue her education?

The latter was never an option in her mind, Mills said, so she gave up everything for her education.

“I said (to myself), ‘this Mount

“I was a woman from the Mount with promise.”

Saint Mary is going to be my saving grace one day,’” she noted, adding that the sisters helped her make the transition and believed in her in a way she’d never before known.

One memory she has of her college years that would foreshadow her future was being the first female member of the Mount’s Maintenance team. Today, she has been in the business of home improvements, maintenance, renovations, and overall property management for 30 years. “Every little bit of preparation helps,” she notes.

She was particularly impressed by the leadership skills they emulated. “They are amazing people and women. This is why I relate to Mount Saint Mary the way that I do, because there, I saw women who had achieved,

1346 Park Place HDFC

who were in leadership positions, who were competent and brilliant, and I thought, ‘I’m a woman – this could happen for me, too.”

“I was a woman from the Mount with promise,” she added, knowing that she would someday use the tools she gleaned from the Mount.

“Someday” came through the form of the co-op, and also when she went to Columbia University School of Social Work to earn a master’s degree in Social Work. “All of the foundation from Mount Saint Mary is what took me through Columbia,” she added, noting that the study and research skills she learned while at the Mount prepared her for the rigor of graduate school. “If I hadn’t gone to Mount Saint Mary and experienced all of that, I don’t know that Columbia ever would have happened.”

Her vision for the co-op reflects the very atmosphere she discovered at the Mount: Both are places “where old good ideas should remain, and at the same time, make room for all of the new good ideas. It is a place where all should be welcome but with the understanding that it takes everyone working together to ensure the best outcome.”

Looking back, Mills reflected that it was her Mount foundation that convinced her of her potential and gave her the tools and courage to do this work. “Mount Saint Mary saved my life,” she said. “It saved my life in terms of grabbing hold of me and giving me the opportunity to develop.

It is one of the best kept secrets. It is truly an amazing school.” www.msmc.edu

Steven Juergensen ’17 uses business ‘Threads for Education’ to help support students in Ghana

J

ust a year after graduation, Steven Juergensen ’17 is using the business skills he learned at the Mount to make a difference more than 5,000 miles away.

Juergensen recently took ownership of Threads for Education, an apparel company with a mission to benefit education in Ghana, where many children have to walk hours to get to school and cannot read or write. The company sells shirts, hats, and pants with unique patterns or inspirational messages like “Be the Change” to inspire others to get involved as well.

He credits his Mount experiences – including leadership positions in the Student Government Association, founding the Musical Exchange club, and working as a resident assistant and orientation leader – for giving him the courage to take on this project. “[The Mount] helped me learn how to delegate, lead, and most importantly, use time management,” he said. He also believes his faith and involvement in Sunday Masses at the Mount shaped his service-oriented worldview.

Juergensen’s efforts have attracted the interest of fellow Mount alumni Jennifer

Gries ’16, Shannon McGuinness ’16, Jesse Matuza ’17, and RoseMarie Distefano ’15, who all lend their time to Threads for Education.

One of the company’s recent highlights was a trip to Ghana, which only intensified Juergensen’s desire to help. He and almost a dozen volunteers, including Gries, McGuinness, and Matuza, spent the week immersed in rural Ghana by living with host families, walking the children to school, and aiding in classrooms.

The experience made him realize that while gratitude for blessings is important, it shouldn’t stop there: “It taught me to remember to be grateful for what you have, but also remember that there are others that may need your help.” The group plans to return again in 2019.

Juergensen encourages everyone to do their part to help the community, even if it seems small. Serving others doesn’t require a full-time job in a service profession, he notes. “Do what you can, when you can. Just a little effort could change other people’s whole world.”

Mount students hungry to serve Mount students donated a whopping $2,000-plus worth of food to feed local people in need this Thanksgiving.

Students, faculty, and staff collected and delivered the food to Newburgh’s Loaves and Fishes program for distribution to local families. The initiative was spearheaded by the college’s Campus Ministry, the Athletics Department, and the Student Athlete Advisory Committee.

Through a “coin war” wherein each undergraduate class worked to collect as many donations as possible, the Mount community amassed $1,859.36 over five days. This is the highest total on record for the yearly food drive.

Student volunteers used the money to purchase food for donation, in addition to items collected on campus over the course of nearly a month.

Fr. Gregoire Fluet, director of Campus Ministry and Mount chaplain, thanked the Mount community for their generosity.

“I’m very proud of what we’ve all done,” he said. “This shows us what Mount Saint Mary College is about: People coming together to do good.”

In addition, more than a dozen local youths were thankful for food, friendship, and fun at the college’s Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Thanksgiving luncheon. According to club president Jacqueline Hogan, about 15 Mount mentors joined in. After a hearty lunch, the youngsters and their big brothers and sisters enjoyed some board and card games, including the ever-popular UNO. But the college’s spirit of giving didn’t end there: The Mount also helped families in need through the annual Giving Tree collection. Tags hung like ornaments from the tree, with a gift request from an underprivileged child written on the back of each. The Mount community donated the requested items, creating happy holiday memories for local Newburgh children. Fr. Fluet estimates that the Mount community donated more than 1,000 gifts this year, shattering their goal of 600 by nearly double.

Mount student volunteers pack up donations during the college’s annual Thanksgiving food drive.

Students from the Mount’s chapter of Catholic Relief Services (CRS)

Catholic Relief chapter donates food, time Service to their community is an important part of life for students in the Mount’s chapter of Catholic Relief Services (CRS).

Once a month, Mount CRS Student Ambassadors volunteer their time and effort at St. Mary’s Church food and clothing drive. Through this ongoing program, items are distributed to those in need in the City of Newburgh. The students sort boxes of donated food and serve those who come to the church to get necessities.

CRS Student Ambassadors also volunteer regularly at the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley: They sort food to be shipped to local organizations that assist the less fortunate in the area.

In addition to these projects, the Mount’s food vendor, Parkhurst Dining, routinely donates meals to the Newburgh Ministry charitable organization.

CRS Student Ambassadors are happy to deliver some of this food to the ministry twice a month.

Serving the community “gives us the opportunity to see what life is like outside the gates of our campus and inspires us to help those that are in the utmost need,” noted Christina Mistretta, president of the Mount’s CRS. www.msmc.edu

MOUNT SAINT MARY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | WINTER 2018-19

Heading home again Alumni celebrate memories back on campus

H

undreds of successful grads, spanning more than 50 years of Mount Saint Mary College history, journeyed back to campus September 28 to 30 for the college’s annual Alumni and Family weekend.

Graduates and their families celebrated their accomplishments, caught up with old friends and professors, and saw what’s new at the college that launched their careers.

The reunion of the Class of ’68 was one of many highlights of the weekend.

The class celebrated their 50th anniversary on Friday night with a trip down memory lane and a renewal of friendship.

Saturday morning, Susan Ryan ’76 was presented with the college’s Distinguished Alumni Award, recognizing her contributions to society through her professional and volunteer work. Ryan was unable to attend the ceremony in person, as she was volunteering with the Maryknoll Mission Center, a Catholic service organization in Bolivia. Andrea Santacroce Tejedor ’00 also received a Distinguished Alumni Award, and Beverly McDermott Mennerich ’68 was honored with the James V. McEnery Alumni Service Award.

In the afternoon, alumni and their families enjoyed a “street fair,” where they mingled with classmates and former professors, played carnival games, and enjoyed dance performances.

Also throughout the weekend, successful Mount grads reconnected with friends, took in some soccer and tennis matches, played in an alumni lacrosse game, had a fireside dinner, attended a remembrance Mass, and more. Alumni said farewell to the weekend with a brunch cruise on the Hudson River on Sunday morning.

Defining

Hope D

iane Ryan ’89, a registered nurse (RN) at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx, N.Y., has devoted more than a decade to working with cancer patients – many of whom spend their final days in her care.

It’s what motivated producers to include Ryan in Defining Hope, a 2015 documentary about people living with terminal conditions and the professionals who care for them. And it’s also what prepared Ryan to be brave in the face of her own battle with ovarian cancer.

“There have been so many uplifting moments as an RN,” Ryan explained.

“If you can give one small request to a dying person, it really changes the way you think about death and dying.”

Ryan says her own journey into cancer treatment has informed her patient care.

“It has made me so humble,” Ryan noted. “I know exactly what they are feeling and never take anything for granted. Dying is a very hard thing to accept. Being in their position, I can provide sympathy, caring words, and give the reassurance that they are not alone. I think patients feel comforted in knowing that I am going through a lot of what they are going through.”

Initially, Ryan underwent eight months of chemotherapy and was told she was in remission. But as the film was being made, a process that took almost two years, Ryan received bad news: Her cancer had returned. It changed the course of the documentary, she explained: “Now I was not only a

“I owe a lot of gratitude to the Mount for where I am now,” she said. “I had very strong and influential professors ...

They helped mold the nurse I am now.” nurse caring for these patients, but also a patient myself fighting cancer.”

Appearing in the documentary was “such an honor,” Ryan said. “It made me really think about life and what I want from it. It helps me prepare for what could possibly happen if chemotherapy stops working. Life is short but worth living at all costs. I am here still fighting for what I have: a wonderful husband of 20 years and awesome twin boys.”

Ryan’s been on leave from Calvary for about a year due to continuous chemotherapy, she said. But it hasn’t slowed her down: Since being diagnosed with cancer in 2013, Ryan has competed in triathalons, half marathons, and more. “I believe that if you really take care of your body it will continue to work for you,” she said. She’s currently training for a half Ironman.

Ryan noted the Mount helped her to develop a deep commitment to service, as well as her boundless determination.

“I owe a lot of gratitude to the Mount for where I am now,” she said.

“I had very strong and influential

MOUNT SAINT MARY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | WINTER 2018-19

professors, all of them encouraging me through school and preparing me for the future after graduation. They believed in all their students. They helped mold the nurse I am now. I do believe that I got the best Nursing education there is.”

Ryan received a Daisy Award for extraordinary nursing in 2016, thanks to recommendations from patients, staff nurses, and administration. She also gets tons of encouragement from family, friends, and fellow athletes, she explained. It’s a support system she’s more than grateful to have.

“I sometimes think I’m the luckiest person alive,” she said.

Ginny Thompson ’79

L

ife didn’t go quite the way Ginny Thompson ’79 had planned after graduation.

The Chemistry and Biology double major with a minor in Theology completed a fellowship in Medical Technology at Berkshire Medical Center School of Medical Technology and passed the Medical Technology Board exams after graduation, but a life-threatening illness and prolonged recovery forced her to cut her career short.

Despite the prognosis of never being able to sit up again, Thompson persevered, noting that she now lives with about 50 percent lung functionality and can even sit up and drive for short periods of time. Her Mount education and medical training allowed her to be a very “engaged” patient throughout her recovery, which her doctors respected and enjoyed.

It was during her recovery that Thompson discovered the Japanese folk art of Temari – geometric embroidery on handmade, threadwrapped spheres. She threw herself into this passion, especially in making art instructions for Temari available online in English. In 2010, she became the first student to qualify for the Kyoujyi/Master level in the Japan Temari Association without being a resident of Japan.

She also served as the English collaborator for Temari – The Geometric Shapes and Needlework, which is the first historical/anthropological review of the art of Temari.

Through it all, Thompson is exceedingly proud to be a Mount alumna – so much so, that her class ring has never left her finger, even through surgeries.

“After losing my dad as a freshman in high school, the Mount… simply embraced me and allowed me to find and grow into me,” said Thompson. “My years at the Mount were the four best years of my life.”

fter graduation, Kyle Grappone ’10 decided to take what he had learned from his time at the Mount and use it to motivate other college students to make the most of their experiences.

In fact, it’s the topic of his upcoming guidebook for high school and college students, To the Next Step, which will be published by Atmosphere Press in the spring of 2019.

The author, public speaker, and marketing professional recently returned to the Mount to share these tips with current students in a talk sponsored by the Career Center.

“Make sure that what you’re doing in college – every decision you make – is to prepare you for your future,” advised Grappone.

And the first steps, he said, should be taken right at the start of one’s college career. It’s not enough to scrape by with a 2.0 GPA while ignoring extracurricular activities, internships, and leadership opportunities, Grappone warned the Mount’s current students.

After college, he said, there will be little reason to hire a graduate like this over a high-performing, well-rounded, and experienced classmate.

“You have been given a shot at a better life through college,” he said.

“There’s plenty of students who graduated high school and had to go straight into the real world…so don’t waste your shot at greatness.”

Kirsten Turkington ’94

K

irsten Turkington ’94’s life certainly hasn’t slowed down since earning degrees in both Psychology and Nursing in 1994. After graduation, Turkington gained entrance into the prestigious nurse practitioner program at The University of Texas at Austin. She graduated with a Master of Science in Nursing in May 1998 and also earned a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Northern Arizona University in 2014, where she specialized in Forensic Nursing. She is one of only 100 nurses internationally who are board certified as an Advanced Forensic Nurse.

In the field, Turkington has worked primarily in Trauma and Emergency Medicine with a focus on primary care and family medicine. She opened her own clinical practice in Arizona a few years ago where she sees veterans, families, and patients of all ages.

As an adjunct professor at Grand Canyon University, her own memories of Mount faculty guide her approach.

“I loved my Nursing and Psychology faculty at the Mount and sought to emulate their compassion, intellect, and determination in educating new nurses,” she said.

Her latest adventure is being named chairman of Life Connected, LLC, an awareness organization dedicated to the foster care system. The organization is currently involved in the creation of A Life Connected, a feature-length film based on real stories about kids in the foster care system, set to debut in May 2019 for National Foster Care Month.

All of these efforts stem from the Mount’s emphasis on service, Turkington notes. Service “solidified my dedication to community outreach and volunteerism. My MSMC foundation provided the support, tools, and resources necessary to be successful personally and professionally – it was a wonderful experience for which I am grateful.”

Campus chaplain donates parents’ estate to the Mount

F

r. Gregoire J. Fluet, director of Campus Ministry and Mount campus chaplain, recently made plans to donate his parents’ estate to Mount Saint Mary College.

Fr. Fluet says he would like to leave a legacy of service.

“My faith tells me that we will all continue living, but how about doing something good with this physical stuff that once belonged to my parents?” he said. “I couldn’t think of a better place [to donate the estate] than the Mount.”

He asked that the proceeds be used to aid the Mount’s popular Nursing program and the college’s athletics offerings.

“It gives me great joy and peace to know that this decision is the right decision,” he said.

Fr. Fluet is the last surviving member of his family. His parents were Paul and Dorothee Fluet.

Paul, a dry cleaner, passed away suddenly in 1966. Paul grew up during the Great Depression and had approximately a fourth grade education. He joined the

42

dry cleaning industry through a company in Quebec City at the age of 16.

Dorothee, a teacher, passed away in 2010. She grew up in Thetford Mines in the providence of Quebec, south of the City, where Fr. Fluet would be born.

Dorothee had the equivalent of a Master’s Degree in Childhood Education. She very much enjoyed her time teaching the children of the Thetford mining community, Fr. Fluet explained.

“My father would have been on the maintenance team, and my mother would have been a professor here at the Mount,” he said. “They’d have fit right in.”

The values of the Mount are very similar to those of his parents, Fr. Fluet noted.

“Faith. Education. Welcome. That is my family,” he said. “Faith is here at the Mount; it’s alive in all its beautiful ways of being expressed. Education is very alive at the Mount also, from Nursing to Business. And finally, welcome. I can’t think of a more welcoming place than the Mount.

I felt like I clicked as soon as I got here; I became a part of this family.”

MOUNT SAINT MARY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | WINTER 2018-19

The warm welcome Fr. Fluet received and the family-like atmosphere of the college remind him of the hospitable attitude his mother and father shared. Over the holidays, he remembers, the family’s home would be full of all sorts of guests – some he recognized, some who were new.

Who, he asked his mother, are all these people? “‘These people are alone and have no family,’ said my mother. ‘So they become a part of our family on Christmas.’”

Fr. Fluet, who received a PhD in History from Clark University in Worcester, Mass., came to the Mount in 2017 from Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, Conn., where he served for more than a decade as a professor, and more recently, as secretary of the Board of Governors, among other leadership roles.

The personable priest was quickly accepted as an indispensable part of the college, serving the spiritual needs of the campus and becoming one of the Knights sports teams’ greatest and most dedicated fans.

Mount Saint Mary Academy

Anna Heresniak Kover

F

amily comes first for Anna Heresniak Kover MSMA ’73, MSMC ’77 – and the Mount is a huge part of that family.

Kover’s first connection to the Mount was through her mother’s aunt, Sr. Georgina, who taught at Mount Saint Mary Academy in the 1940s. Her mother, Catherine Gasparro Heresniak, also graduated from the academy in 1949. So when it was time for Kover to make a decision about which school she would attend, she knew exactly where she wanted to go.

The sweetest memories of the academy for Kover are in the little moments: finding shortcuts to classes through forbidden stairways, playing The Dating Game in the TV room, and singing while the other girls played the guitar. She also appreciated how the sisters taught them about having structured freedom – in between classes, they could make choices on what to do with their time, including sewing, learning to play the piano or guitar, or enjoying quiet time in the choir loft.

Kover saw several changes during her time at the Mount, such as when the Dominican Sisters made the move to new habits and then to lay clothing. She fondly remembers the first time she saw Sr. Cecelia in a pink sweatshirt and jeans.

Another change to the academy during that time was the addition of Mount Saint Mary College to the sisters’ legacy of education. Her own positive experiences at the academy influenced her decision to attend the college as well, graduating with a Special Education degree in 1977.

That education prepared her well for her future endeavors. Kover taught at a maximum security facility for ten years, and is now in a special education classroom at Gidney Avenue Memorial School in Newburgh. Additionally, the experience prepared her to be an advocate for her son, who was born with

disabilities. After some encouragement from Sr. Ann Sakac, OP, former president of Mount Saint Mary College, Kover found the courage to fight for the assistance her son needed. Her advocacy helped to change laws that now provide home therapy for the visually impaired, she noted.

The Mount is Kover’s “family school” – her husband Jeffrey graduated in 2005, along with her daughter Amy in 2007 and her son-in-law Jonathan Gallagher in 2010. After graduation, Amy worked at the Mount for a time as an admissions counselor, and she and Gallagher were married in the Chapel of the Most Holy Rosary, the very building where Kover’s Mount story began.

Kover tends to speak of heracademy and college days in the present tense, because these people are still a part of her daily life. Her classmates from the academy are still close friends, and she often visits campus to find peace when needed. That sense of peace, she says, is the Dominican spirit, epitomizing the feeling of family she associates with the institution. www.msmc.edu

Dear Friends,

O

n behalf of the Mount Saint Mary College Community, it is my honor to present the 2017-2018 Honor Roll of Donors. Listed in the following pages are the generous donors who continue to pay it forward. Each gift helps to ease the cost of tuition, so that deserving students have the opportunity to excel in their lives and careers.

The Dominican Sisters sacrificed and dedicated their lives to ensuring that generations of students would have an education based in truth. From that time, thousands of alumni and members of the greater Mount community have supported our mission by contributing to the financial health of the College. These donors keep the Mount moving forward in the tradition of the Dominican Sisters.

Mount Saint Mary College fosters a close student-faculty environment that enables students to reach their full potential as lifelong learners. Studying in the classroom, research projects, hands-on experience, and studying abroad are some of the many ways in which we engage with one another. With the support of our donors, we are able to set

MOUNT SAINT MARY COLLEGE HONOR ROLL

remarkable goals for our campus and offer even more to our students.

We have expanded our academic offerings, maintained state-ofthe-art facilities and provided scholarships, all of which help our hard-working students of all backgrounds prepare for roles of leadership and service. Because of the generosity of so many members of this community, we are sending young people into the world who are certain to make us proud with their new skills and knowledge.

It is for this reason that we can look upon the 2017-2018 Honor Roll of Donors as not only a listing of generous benefactors, but also as a sign of hope and prosperity for the future of the Mount and generations of students to come. For this, I offer our donors the Mount’s sincerest thanks.

Yours in gratitude,

Looking Back

S

now days are always fun at the Mount, no matter what decade it is! Here, a student throws a snowball in front of the Villa on campus.

The Villa originally housed the entire college, with the first students living, eating, and sleeping in the building. It now houses the Office of Admissions, Office of Academic Affairs, and the President’s Office.
