Below are excerpts from Paul K. “Kelly” Mikules’ Bicentennial Medal acceptance speech at the San Diego, Calif., celebration on June 20. His full speech is on the web at www.msmary.edu/mikules.

I began my journey to the Mount some 45 years ago and to think that I am standing before you today and receiving this Bicentennial Medal is such an honor. This medal is awarded for leadership, loyalty and generosity; of these … loyalty is the most important characteristic for me.

Yes, I am loyal to the Mount. Some of my best years were at the Mount. I experienced many successes and many failures, and the Mount gave me the best education I could ever want! Thank you, Mount St. Mary’s!

It bothers me that the Mount’s endowment is so paltry compared to Gettysburg, Hood or Catholic University. Now it is up to us to help–Mount St. Mary’s University is a necessary entity to the fabric and culture of this society.

Celebrating the Bicentennial in Costa Rica This summer as part of the Mount’s bicentennial celebration, Dr. Diana Rodríguez-Lozano from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures prepared a 10-day trip to Costa Rica. The May 23 – June 3 trip included Mount students, employees, alumni and their families. The trip began in San José with an excursion to La Paz Waterfall Park and a visit to the well-known arts and crafts town of Sarchí, where residents hand paint oxcarts, the symbol of Costa Rica. From there, the group proceeded to the Tortuguero area in the Caribbean for three days. Before they continued to the Pacific north coast, they spent one night in San José, where they went to the Ram Luna show of typical dances from the different regions of the country. On their way to two days at the resort of Playa Tambor, the group encountered Tropical Storm Alma as they were crossing on the ferry to reach the resort (quite a unique experience!). They finished the trip with three days at the famous active volcano Arenal. Dr. Rodríguez-Lozano noted, “This was a wonderful group, and we had a wonderful time!” She has been taking students to Costa Rica every two years since 1996 and is preparing to take another group this coming summer.
