ON THE COVER:

Margaret Wong, Esq., the recipient of the Notre Dame College inaugural Corporate Citizen Award, pauses for a photograph with Richard Garcia, chair of the College Board of Trustees and chief financial officer of Koroseal. Wong, an entrepreneur and internationally acclaimed immigration lawyer, was recognized with a blue and white crystal keepsake during a luncheon in her honor at the Silver Grille located at The Ritz-Carlton in downtown Cleveland. Wong, an emeritus trustee of Notre Dame, stands here with Garcia (right) and Thomas G. Kruczek, president of the College.

from the president

Dear Friends of Notre Dame College,

At this time of year, especially, our focus turns to families coming together. About this same time last year, at the inauguration ceremony, you and so many others in the extended Notre Dame College family formally welcomed me as a member. Before then, you and the many family and friends of the College embraced me and my family upon our move to Ohio. Our families are different in many respects, the number of members or the parts of the country—and world—we come from, our individual occupations and holiday traditions. As diverse as our families may be, we also share commonalities, like our locale, our respect for the tradition of the Sisters of Notre Dame and our belief in the life-changing power of a college education. Many members of the many communities that make Notre Dame College have told me they purposefully and providentially came to be part of our extended family. Several of their pictures and stories appear in the magazine. I have found a recurring theme among the leaders who visit campus to talk to our students. Many have said everyone is at the place they are supposed to be, no matter where they are or what brought them there. I have heard similar stories from those who work and study and play and pray with Notre Dame College. Some had planned and anticipated. Some came joyful and expectant, but some were displaced or suffered personal losses. Some were seeking a second chance, or in need of that first chance. Some faced social barriers, and some endured violations of social justice. Many, like me, were

There is a spirit here at Notre Dame that makes it a truly special place.

drawn by a warm, welcoming feeling of “fit” like I experienced when I first set foot on campus. There is a spirit here at Notre Dame that makes it a truly special place. Perhaps Tom Chambers, Chief Financial Officer of Kosmos Energy Ltd. and a member of the Notre Dame Board of Trustees, said it best when speaking to our class studying emotionally intelligent leadership: “Everyone belongs here. There is a reason you ended up where you are, at this college, at this time.” The Notre Dame College family, my family and I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a blessed new year.

Sincerely,

Thomas G. Kruczek president

COMMUNITY-BASED LEARNING

Grant Inspires Vocation, Service Learning An assembly of Notre Dame College faculty and staff from all disciplines and all devotions agreed: Vocation is not just a vow to religious life, to single life or to family life—but rather an inner sense or call to commit to a purpose in life in the service of others. These 30 members in the first cohort of the "Preparing Students for a Life of Value and Service" Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE) grant program at the College pledged to integrate spiritual development, or growing the inner self, more directly into a Notre Dame degree. The group also committed to further incorporate civic engagement, service learning and ethical leadership to aid city, community and the greater good—not only into education but also into students’ lives and career preparation.

This semester, the College nearly doubled the number of children receiving one-on-one tutoring and mentoring to 23 and has extended the program from six to 14 weeks. The Notre Dame students, who represent more than just education majors, spend about an hour with the same child each week at the elementary school. “This experience is so important for our students in a lot of different ways. The ability to help someone, to become important to a child is life-changing for both the Case Elementary students and for the Notre Dame College students,” Corbin said.

From introspective exercises designed to develop personal management styles to interactive conversations with some of the most effective executives in the country, a small group of students at Notre Dame College was treated to a special-topics business course on emotionally intelligent leadership. The class was led by Notre Dame College President Thomas G. Kruczek with Stephen M. Hotchkiss, associate professor, and William L. Leamon, assistant professor, both in the College’s Division of Business. These educators, guest lecturers and other speakers who shared the value of interdisciplinary entrepreneurial thinking on campus paid tribute to tenets of management, their experiences in the class and the Notre Dame students who will one day lead.

Don’t be afraid of change. Leaders embrace change. Leaders don’t shy away from change. I call leaders who don’t believe in change managers … Leaders care about people. Relationships are important to leaders; that’s what allows a team to come together and accomplish more. People are important. You can’t walk on people. People accomplish goals. Thomas P. Chambers, Chief Financial Officer, Kosmos Energy Ltd. and Member, Board of Trustees, Notre Dame College

It’s about opportunity, where you land and how things come together. Every job you have, every experience you have is a piece of the puzzle. I feel like I am in the exact right place … It’s your life. You have to do what you’re passionate about. Deborah D. Hoover, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Burton D. Morgan Foundation

I had a great time talking to the business class (BU391) students. I always jump at these kinds of opportunities because it keeps me in touch with a generation of people who may very well be future employees in my company! The students in that class did not disappoint, asking energetic, pointed questions. I’d do it again in a heartbeat! Albert M.

Developing your career is a discovery process and along the way you make strides forward and also experience setbacks. One of the grounding forces in my life has been my commitment, interest and love of leadership. Leadership is available to everyone (It’s not based on a position.), leadership is both learnable and teachable and we all have a contribution to make. Leadership in large measure is about the choices we make and whether we want to make a difference in the world around us. What helps us be effective in leadership is our awareness of ourselves, others and the context. This is the foundation for emotionally intelligent leadership. The three facets of emotionally intelligent leadership are consciousness of self, consciousness of others and consciousness of context. Marcy Levy Shankman, Vice President of Strategy and Director of Leadership Cleveland, Cleveland Leadership Center and Co-author of Emotionally Intelligent Leadership: A Guide for Students

Evander Holyfield said the difference between 299 and 300 exercises each day is the difference between heavyweight champion of the world and every other boxer. No 299s. If 299 is good enough for you today, what is good enough tomorrow? 298? It’s good work, but is it 300? It doesn’t matter what you set out to do in life. Bring 300 every day. Jeff Hoffman Co-founder and President, ColorJar LLC and Unreasonable at Sea and Co-founder, Priceline.com, uBid.com, CTI and others

Take calculated, not reckless, risks. Don’t sit still, but don’t be foolish. Calculate each business move carefully and without emotion. Be a lifelong learner … You have to keep learning your entire life. Keep up with technology and trends, but also be well-rounded and conversant. People skills are very important. Don’t ever overlook that. And don’t ever stop giving back. Don’t ever forget those who helped you along the way. Michael Shaughnessy, Retired Owner and President, ColorMatix Corp. and Member, Board of Trustees, Notre Dame College

Find your sweet spot, your passion areas … Find your expertise then differentiate how you tell your story. Cut through clutter and get noticed. Joe Pulizzi, Founder, Content Marketing Institute

The leadership class was a pleasure. I saw parts of campus that I had not seen before and learned of some of the entrepreneurial interests the students had. I researched all of the students online, and they all were leaders already, either in the classroom, on the field or at work … or all of the above. It was a great group of students, and they are not only leaders today but have all of the qualities and drive to be good leaders tomorrow. They are great representatives of Notre Dame College. The questions they asked were challenging and thought-provoking, plus they had follow-up questions. I certainly was on my toes. The cross section of majors, activities and hometowns was impressive. The stories they had on how they came to Notre Dame were fascinating: a good group of students. I hope to be able to follow up on their progress. Richard Garcia, Chief Financial Officer, Koroseal Interior Products and Chair, Board of Trustees, Notre Dame College

NURSING

Senior Scholar Commits to Career of Care Notre Dame College student Ashley Michel ’16 said nursing is a calling. “You feel deep in your heart that you are so empowered. You are ready to take care of all those in need,” she said. And her call is not just to treat the sick but also to care for their relatives, who often spend days and nights in the hospital, too, to stay close to their loved ones. “The patient is the most important, but you cannot forget about their family, ” Michel said.

Notre Dame Today

A Call to Scholarship A senior undergraduate in Notre Dame College’s Division of Nursing, Michel chronicled her philosophy of family-centered nursing care in an essay that, along with her academic record, earned her the Senior Scholarship Award from the Greater Cleveland Nurse’s Association.

But not all who hear the call can complete. Michel said a person intuitively knows whether they will be a nurse, the minute they first walk out on a patient floor if not sooner. She has seen it in her classmates. She started Notre Dame with many students who were interested in the

A member of the College’s Honors Scholar Program, Michel also completed an evidence-based practice research project, "Exemplar in Teamwork and Collaboration: Appraisal Tips for Pre-nursing Students," this year. Her project was selected for poster presentation as part of the 2015 Quality and Safety for the Education of Nurses National Forum in San Diego. The Olmsted Falls, Ohio, native was one of only four undergraduates in the country accepted to the conference. Michel’s study designed and tested a teaching-learning experience for students searching for and critically appraising scholarly journals.

Next, Michel will commence her capstone practicum: 180 clinical hours one-onone with a preceptor. She has requested neonatal intensive care, labor and delivery or emergency room nursing. She is waiting to learn of her match. Her goal is to become a nurse in a neonatal intensive care unit and then

SOWED IN RICH SOIL:

First Generation Alumna Answers Call, Encourages Change Nearly three years ago, Aliea Moore ’15 said she felt like she had been planted at Notre Dame College.

A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up. Matthew 13:3-4 The first in her family to attend college, Moore worked as many as four different off-campus jobs—including the night shift at a gas station—while taking a full load of courses to pay her tuition and afford food.

Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Matthew 13:5-6 Her family suffered hardships during that time as well: Both parents lost their jobs. Her mother was hospitalized. Her grandmother and dog died.

Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. Matthew 13:7 “One thing that never changed is I had something to believe in,” Moore said. “We don’t all believe in the same thing, but we all believe in one thing. You believe in yourself.”

But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Matthew 13:8 “Personally, I believe in God. I believe he made me wonderfully and for a purpose. That’s where my belief in myself comes from,” she added.
