FALL/WINTER 2009 FALL/WINTER Rosemont MAGAZINE president’smessage

Dear Alumni and Friends, This fall semester at the College has been nothing short of amazing! We worked so hard throughout last year, our first year of the Operational Plan, to put into place our six goals of the Strategic Plan – all at the same time. What we took on was, frankly, monumental – last year alone we had eleven separate task forces working to assure that we will, in fact, do what we said we would do. So imagine the joy on campus as so many of our plans began to take shape, with incredible success. You will recall that one of our plans was to make most of our graduate and professional degrees available (as an option) fully online. For many of our adult students, taking classes online is not only convenient for their busy schedules with work and families, but it is also at times their preferred way to learn. I am very proud to tell you that we re-designed all of our courses to deliver the best online classes, invested in new technology, ran workshops for all faculty who teach online, and received the proper approvals from the Pennsylvania Department of Education and Middle States, our regional accreditor, all in less than one year! We launched both the MBA and the BS in business as programs that could be taken totally online last April, and in July we did the same for our Master of Science in Management . We have been pleased to note that, indeed, many of our adult students are taking more of their courses online, and are reporting that these courses are rigorous, but also exciting. I personally feel that this is one more way in which Rosemont continues to meet, in Cornelia Connelly’s phrase, “the wants of the age”. Meanwhile, on campus, there is also a new energy, thanks to our first coeducational class in the Undergraduate College, our largest incoming class in forty years! It has been phenomenal, in part because a full 32% of our first year class are males. (A percentage much larger than we thought we could expect based on what other institutions had accomplished.) But what has really made the difference is the fact that these young men are good Rosemont students; we accepted only those who we thought would be a good “fit” for Rosemont. Many of you have discussed the success of all of these changes and asked my thoughts on why we have had such an exciting, but smooth, transition. I believe that the key to our success this year is the fact that, as we were working on the Strategic Plan, we spent much research, time, and energy deliberating about our identity and our mission. We now have a strong agreement on both, and are moving forward as a Catholic college following the educational traditions of Cornelia Connelly, and it is with pride that we share with each other and the external world exactly what that is. Our focus in Rosemont Magazine two years ago was on our amazing faculty; this edition features our amazing undergraduate students. I hope that you will enjoy reading about them and getting to know them: they are the current “faces” of Rosemont and as you will discover, are learning from and enjoying their Rosemont experience as much as we did (in my case many years ago!). As I write this letter, I am reflecting on the beautiful Thanksgiving Interfaith service and all of the end of semester and Christmas events that continue to enliven campus: Finals Breakfast (served at night by the faculty and administration), the Christmas Eve Mass, and of course the Penny Toss – some things will never change at Rosemont!

With my wishes for a wonderful 2010,

Sharon Latchaw Hirsh, Ph.D. ’70

10 | ROSEMONT COLLEGE Bill Giles Named Recipient of Rosemont’s 2010 Cresset Award

ill Giles is the recipient of the 2010 Cresset Award. The Cresset Award is given Bannually by Rosemont College to outstanding individuals who have demonstrated a strong commitment to promoting values and to supporting education for all people. Giles, chairman of the Philadelphia Phillies, will be honored at the 22nd Cresset Award Dinner on April 22, at the Please Touch Museum, in Philadelphia, PA. “Bill is one of Philadelphia’s most civically minded citizens and genuinely cares about the community in which he lives,” said Rosemont President Sharon Latchaw Hirsh, Ph.D. ’70. “He has contributed a great deal of time and energy to many worthy organizations in our area and Rosemont is so delighted to be among them. We are pleased to honor Bill Giles with this year’s Cresset Award.” Giles is very well known for his prolific front office baseball career which began in 1959 when he was named GM of the Nashville Vols, a Cincinnati Red’s minor league team. From there he moved throughout the industry arriving in Philadelphia with the opening of Veterans Stadium, at the request of the Carpenter family, to assist with the business end of the operation in 1969. In 1981, while serving as the executive director of the Philadelphia Phillies, Giles organized a group of investors to purchase the Phillies when the Carpenter family put the team up for sale. The acquisition was a success and Giles would go on to serve as President of the club until June 1997, when he accepted the position of Chairman. Four years later, Giles was nominated to serve as honorary president of the National League (NL), a role in which he represents the NL at the All- Star Game and postseason play. “The community is very fortunate to have historic and beautiful Rosemont College as a neighbor and friend. I am so glad that I can During Giles’ tenure, the Phillies participate in Reflect | Renew | Rejoice: The Campaign for Rosemont have obtained five National League College through the 2010 Cresset Dinner.

FALL/WINTER 2009 | 13 campushistory... A Historic Look at Heffernan Hall By Delories Richardi ’53, Archivist In an April 1962 issue of the student newspaper The Rambler, an article covered an announcement from Sr. M. George O’Reilly, President, that ground would be broken in the spring of 1963 for a new residential hall, to be ready for occupancy in September 1964. It was primarily for the use of upperclassmen. By February 1964, students had been asked to submit suggestions for the new residential hall. The student poll showed surprisingly few complaints of current problems in residential halls: overhead lights a problem – in Connelly, they were too harsh, in Kaul they were too dim; number and noise of telephones and dearth of electrical outlets. Requests ran in a pattern – tearful pleading for faucets that stay on when turned on...high metal sinks for washing hair and scales for obvious reasons. The new residential hall as describes in The Rambler was to be in an H design, two entrances with a lounge between. It was to house 148 students: 59 doubles and 30 singles, 6 rooms for nuns and house mothers. There was to be a Chapel for approximately 43 people. Other amenities included utilities in center, Clockwise from top left: The dedication of Heffernan Hall surrounded by rooms, built in bookcases in in 1964. Heffernan Chapel.

The young women are wearing penny loafers, saddle shoes, sporting Chesterfield style jackets, and wearing their hair in the popular “Deb” look. The photograph described is one of hundreds taken by Mary Kay Dreuding Gallagher ’42 (left column, center picture) who captured the essence of life at Rosemont College from 1938 through 1942. Mary Kay was an active student at Rosemont. As a political science major she was involved in a number of campus activities including the Photography Club, Student Government, The Rambler, the Cornelian, Field Hockey, and Basketball. She was often seen, camera in hand, at activities on campus, such as the Riding Club competitions, WWII bond sales, tea in Main Building, dining in Mayfield Hall, or drinking a Coke with classmates in the T House. Mary Kay also took stunning individual portraits of each student on campus including Patricia Kennedy ’45, President John F. Kennedy’s sister, who attended Rosemont College from 1941 to 1945. Now, sixty-seven years later, Mary Kay’s original collection has been reintroduced to the Rosemont community. Each and every photograph has been meticulously digitalized and restored to its original splendor. On June 6th, 2009 at the Rose Luncheon of Reunion Weekend, Mary Kay’s collection was displayed in a photo show to excited reviews as alumni recognized themselves and friends in the presentation. Mary Kay’s photo collection is permanently located in Archives, in the Gertrude Kistler Memorial Library. Mary Kay, who resides in Brooklyn, New York, was thrilled to learn her pictures have “been put to good use!” The College is proud to house such a fine collection.

42 | ROSEMONT COLLEGE f we told you we needed funds for a can of paint, or money to help a student buy books, or support to provide more institutional scholarships for students, you would help.

That’s exactly what the Rosemont Experience Fund (formerly the Annual Fund) does. Your gift is unrestricted which means we can use your contribution for all the many things that keep our campus functioning. Monies from the Rosemont Experience Fund also provide financial assistance directly to our students.

Make a tax deductible gift today and help one student get a book they need, or paint one hallway, or help provide scholarships. It all adds up to support The Rosemont Experience!

For more information, contact Rennie Andrews, Assistant Vice President for the Campaign for Rosemont College at 610.527.0200 ext. 2952 or [email protected].
