MAGAZINE President’Smessage FALL/WINTERRosemont 2009 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!

  • Annual Report 2011-2012
    Mater Matters FALL 2012 ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 OPENING COMMENTS From the Principal During a recent trip to my ancestral home, Ireland, I visited St. Patrick’s Church in Glenbrohane where my great grandparents were married. This simple country church overlooks a sweeping vista of rolling hills, dotted with sheep and cows belonging to the local farmers. My cousin, Mike Tobin, whispered to me during Mass, “That chalice was the one used at your great grandmother’s wedding. The church has only one, and I am sure that was the one used.” I was distracted during Mass thinking about where John Buckley stood as he watched Ellen Tobin walk down the aisle. How did they meet? What walks did they walk? What dreams did they have for the future? Did they envision what their own life would become — immigrating to America, their future home in Philadelphia? Probably not. What John and Ellen saw was a loom inviting them to weave the fabric of their lives together into a tapestry they would never see completed. And that is the story for all of our ancestors — they weave, they make their contribution, and then they turn it over to successive generations. Catherine McAuley had the same experience. She never intended to start a religious congregation. She was advised, however, that if she wanted her work to have longevity, she needed to turn her House of Mercy into a convent. Although she opened many convents with schools and safe houses, she did not live long enough to see the tapestry of Mercy life in the United States.
