MAY 16,1998 8:45AM My VISION FOR XAVIER

"My vision for Xavier is simple. What I want most of all is that a Xavier education be ofsuch qualitythat each and every graduate will say: 'I received an absolutely superb education at Xavier. I could not have received a finer education any­ where in the world.' I want every Xavier graduate to say: 'I know that I am intellectually, morally and spiritually pre­ pared to take my place in a rapidly changing global society and to have a positive impact on that society - to live a life beyond myself for other people.' "

PAUL L. O'CONNOR LEADERSHIP AWARD

r------ROSE ANN FLEMING ------..,

Sister Rose Ann Fleming has a Ph.D., a J.D. and an MVP-most valuable player for Xavier's student athletes.

And she's earned them all through plain hard work.

While their coaches guide them to athletic success, Sister Fleming, as coordinator for academic and athletic advising for Xavier's NCAA athletes, nurtures their academic success.

Though fans, coaches and even institutions sometimes let athletes forget their responsibilities as students, Sister Fleming reminds them that learning is the key to winning the biggest game ofall­ life.

"She takes young men who don't want to learn and helps them grow," says former Xavier men's basketball coach Pete Gillen. "She helps them as people. She gives them confidence in the game of life."

Sister Fleming realizes that student-athletes deal with pressures that can make it hard to stay focused, but she doesn't accept excuses. And she's always there to encourage, assist or give a little push ifnecessary.

Just ask the athlete who told Sister Fleming he frequently missed a morning class because he slept through his alarm. One morning Sister Fleming gave him a wake-up call. The phone rang 64 times. She hung up and called back. He finally picked up on the 129th ring-and made it to class. She is part ofthe reason Xavier's men's basketball team has a 100 percent graduation rate.

Such determination has served Sister Fleming well. As president ofTrinity College in Washing­ ton, D.C., she erased a one million dollar operating deficit, increased enrollment by almost 50 percent and established a one million dollar endowment. She had similar success as superintendent ofSummit Country Day School, where she increased student enrollment by more than 60 percent and built a new primary school.

Sister Fleming is no longer one ofXavier's best-kept secrets. She has been featured in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Cincinnati Post, Columbus Dispatch and received national recognition in a Reader's Digest profile and a 3D-second cable television spot on the Family Channel. Cincinnati Magazine recognized her work as an attorney in 1995 when she graced the cover as a "Lawyer for the Common Man," an article that profiled some ofthe town's top attorneys. She has also been a Cincinnati Enquirer Woman ofthe Year.

But the biggest reward for Sister Fleming are words like these ofone of her former students, NBA player Tyrone Hill.

"What I learned from Sister is that what you put into life is what you get out ofit."

For her extraordinary service to Xavier University and its student athletes, for demonstrating her faith through her thoughts and deeds, and for exemplifying the spirituality ofIgnatius, Xavier is honored to award to Sister Rose Ann Fleming the Paul L. O'Connor Award.

43 HONORARY DEGREE CITATION

r------NORMAN C. FRANCIS------,

1fNorman C. Francis was a boastful man, he'd have a lot to brag about. Since he became presi­ dent ofXavier University ofLouisiana 30 years ago, student enrollment has tripled, it has become the top producer ofAfrican-American medical school students and Francis has been named one of the most effective college presidents in the nation.

Still, he remains humble.

"I don't wear my title on my chest. 1 just see everybody as important," he says. ''I'm president because that happens to be my job, but that doesn't make me any better than anybody else."

Raised in a loving, religious family-who were, according to Francis, "on the high side ofpoor"­ he learned the values that he has carried throughout his life: compassion, compromise and hard work.

Those values have guided Francis as a leader in education. civil rights and civic leadership.

~ a young lawyer-the first African-American graduate ofLoyola University Law School in New Orleans in 1955-he traveled throughout the South for the u.s. attorney general's office to help integrate federal agencies. In the 1960s, as Xavier's dean ofmen, he opened the University's doors to the Freedom Riders after their bus was bombed in Alabama and played a critical role in desegregat­ ing lunch counters and buses.

Francis has worked on the national, state and local levels to improve education. He served on the National Commission on Excellence in Education, which produced the "Nation at Risk" report on public schools in the United States. He's been chairman of the board for the Educational Testing Service, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement ofTeaching, the Southern Education Foundation and the Southern ~sociation ofColleges and Schools, a regional accrediting agency for more than 11,000 institutions in 11 states.

He's received many honors, including the Pioneer in Education Award, the Weiss Brotherhood award from the New Orleans chapter ofthe National Association ofChristians and Jews and the Times -Picayune Loving Cup of 1991, which recognizes citizens who have worked unselfishly for the community without expectation ofpublic recognition or material reward. In 1986 he was named one ofthe 100 most effective college presidents according to a survey by the Council for Advance­ ment and Support for Education.

44 r------NORMAN C. FRANCIS (CONTINUED)------,

Retired Archbishop ofNew Orleans Philip Hannan says "Norman underscores the truth that we can't realize our potential unless we help others realize theirs."

Under Francis' leadership, Xavier University ofLouisiana, the nation's only Roman Catholic historically black university, is receiving national acclaim. Xavier has ranked first nationally in the number ofAfrican-American graduates receiving degrees in physical sciences, its College ofPharmacy has a national reputation for excellence, and for the last five years, Xavier has sent more African-American students to medical school than any other college in the nation. The New York Times Selective Guide for Colleges describes Xavier as "a school where achievement has been the rule."

Francis says simply: "I was one lawyer who could have done a few things. Now 1 sit back and see a number oflawyers, teachers, physicians, dentists and social workers that hopefully 1 had some part in educating. It's like throwing a rock into the water."

For displaying superior and courageous leadership, for promoting excellence in education and for his dedication and commitment to educating tomorrow's leaders, Xavier is honored to award Norman C. Francis the degree Doctor ofHumanities, honoris causa.

46 XAVIER'S HERITAGE

Xavier was founded in 1831 by Bishop Edward Dominic Fenwick, O.P., pioneer Catholic bishop ofOhio, as the first Catholic institution ofhigher learning in the Northwest Territory.

Known as the Athenaeum, the college's first building in downtown Cincinnati, was largely financed by European Catholics and particularly by Catholic citizens ofVienna. The first class numbered 60 students. From its beginning, the school was dedicated to the patronage ofSt. Francis Xavier. The Athenaeum attracted students from as far away as New Orleans, Mexico and Central America, and its educational quality drew many local Protestant students.

At the invitation ofBishop John Purcell ofCincinnati, the Society ofJesus Qesuits) assumed control ofthe institution in 1840, ensuring a steady source offaculty. Under John A. Elet, S.J., the first Jesuit president, the institution was renamed St. Xavier College.

Xavier offered its first evening classes in 1841 and summer courses were introduced in 1914, thus beginning a tradition ofserving the unique needs and schedules ofprofessionals and aspiring professionals in the Cincinnati community.

In 1920, the college moved to its present site in Avondale, and in 1930 was renamed Xavier University, reflecting its growth and complexity. While women had been attending Xavier's evening college since its early years, Xavier's undergraduate "day" college became coeducational in 1969. In 1980 Xavier acquired the Edgecliff College programs and integrated them with those at Xavier, and by 1987, Edgeclifffaculty, staffand students were moved onto the Xavier campus.

Xavier's growth in over a century and a halfsince its founding reflects its origins as a teaching institution which soundly prepares students for careers or graduate study or both. A Xavier educa­ tion, particularly at the undergraduate level, is marked by the emphasis on liberal arts learning contained in Xavier's core curriculum. Equally important in the Xavier tradition is the synthesis of human, cultural and ethical values; concern and respect for people; and an appreciation ofthe worth and dignity ofthe self and others.

The College ofArts and Sciences, Xavier's largest and oldest college, enrolls approximately 1,650 undergraduate and 100 graduate students, and accepts the primary responsibility for the liberal education ofall Xavier undergraduates. The College ofBusiness Administration enrolls 700 undergraduates and 1,200 MBA students, and is dedicated to preparing business students for positions ofresponsibility and leadership. The College ofSocial Sciences enrolls 950 undergraduate and 1,200 graduate students in specialized areas ofhuman services.

Xavier has been an innovator in graduate education, establishing, for example, the first graduate program in Montessori education in the United States. Its graduate programs in education have produced the second highest number ofschool administrators in the state ofOhio. Xavier's gradu­ ate program in health services administration is a recognized innovator in the field. The Executive MBA Program, the Evening Health Services Administration Program and the MEd in Human Resource Development educate upper level managers, professionals and executives while they maintain their current positions in their respective organizations.
