t. Mike’s 180: Rooted in the Future has been an invigorating and thought- provoking opportunity to gather the St. Mike’s community to imagine and plan for our future. Two questions rest at the heart of this institutional visioning process, launched by President Sylvester in August 2019: Where do we hope St. Mike’s will be Son our 180th anniversary, and what do we need to do to get there? Over the past year, alumni have played an important role in this exercise by joining with students, faculty, staff, Collegium members, and community partners to share valuable perspectives about how we can build on our historical and current strengths and ensure this community flourishes in the years ahead. The arrival in March of the COVID-19 pandemic brought about a sudden shift, requiring us to focus on the continuity and integrity of academic programming, student and staff support, and the health and safety of the broader community. But this pause also offered the opportunity to step back and reflect on the visioning exercise and our emerging priorities. This was an important opportunity for us to reflect critically upon our current planning, who we are as a faith and learning community, and how our work can continue to be transformational for our students and the community.

4 St. Michael’s Magazine | Fall 2020 The themes and goals emerging through this planning exercise build on values that are rooted in our identity as a Catholic institution of higher learning. They grow from a compassionate and creative commitment to nurturing a connected and supportive commu- nity, providing a transformative educational experience that has lifelong value, and advancing a financially resilient, socially conscious, and environmentally sustainable institu- tion, all in service to our mission. These priorities have provided a guide in real time for decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are being further reviewed and refined as we move toward iden- tifying activities that will advance the vision for St. Michael’s at our 180th anniversary. Thank you to all the alumni who have shared ideas, insights, and suggestions to date, whether through consultation sessions, e-newsletters, or the survey that appeared in the most recent edition of St. Michael’s magazine. Excerpts from your feedback are shared here. Continued alumni engagement in this visioning exercise, and in shaping the priorities that emerge from it, will help St. Michael’s ensure a vital and relevant future in service to our students and the common good.

8 St. Michael’s Magazine | Fall 2020 OUR CAMPUS Even in the Face of a Pandemic, the Grass Continues to Grow. One of the many things St. Mike’s is known for is its beautiful campus, offering the centre of the city lush green space and stunning flowerbeds. Groundskeeper John Scarcelli is one of the skeleton staff still on campus, and he’s busy mowing the lawns, clearing away debris, and keeping an eye on our many historic oak trees for any branches that need trimming. The arrival of the fall semester has heralded the time to put the grounds to bed before winter’s arrival. While John didn’t buy any annual plants this spring for the campus planters, he’s happy to report that the numerous perennials planted over the years— especially in the rock garden that rings Brennan Hall— have ensured bursts of colour to cheer the passersby who love to cut through campus. “People don’t necessarily stop and say anything, but I can tell they enjoy the view. The benches are often in use, and it’s great to see kids playing on the grass,” he notes. “We really offer people a little oasis in the city.” And while the amount of human traffic on campus may be down, animal life is alive and well in the heart of downtown. “The other day I saw a fox walking down St. Joseph Street,” John reports. “Nobody even seemed to notice.” 

OUR COMMUNITY Giving in the Time of COVID-19 What does community look like in the face of a pandemic? Since Theology students are not eligible for U of T’s emergency funding, the professors discussed the idea of an emergency relief fund with St. Mike’s Office of Advancement, which was set up immediately with matching funds from the President’s Office. The professors led the way, digging deep into their own pockets, and soon others joined in establishing the fund for graduate students impacted by COVID-19. To date, the fund has close to $80,000 in donations from professors, staff and alumni, and matching funds from the university. Students are eligible to apply for up to $2,000 in assistance per semester. “This kind gesture will help students to overcome a lot of challenges and feel protected and supported,” says doctoral student Mariia Ivaniv. 

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

Thank you! We are moved and inspired by the outpouring of offers to help as we work to take care of the educational and residential needs of our students. Your individual actions continue to make a significant difference.

Dancing at Hart House, 1968

une 2020 was the 50th anniversary of my graduation from St. Michael’s College, University of Toronto. We old Baby Boomers did not have the usual celebration at the Spring Reunion because, like the Jrest of the world, the coronavirus pandemic had put a stop to large gath- erings. For me, though, and for my fellow members of the Friends of the John M. Kelly Library, the St. Mike’s campus has been a regular meeting place for more than 15 years. It feels like home. My long attachment to St. Michael’s College began when I was growing up in Havertown, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My mother’s cousin, Msgr. J. Joseph Ryan, taught Medieval Canon Law at the Pontifical Institute (PIMS) starting in 1948. Our family was close to “Father Joe”, spending summers together in Massachusetts. He encouraged my parents to send one of us to St. Michael’s; it turned out to be me. I arrived in September 1966 and enrolled in the English Language and Literature Honours Course.

tories are powerful forces of energy and creative engines of change. In their simplest form, they are a series of events, real or imagined, that entertain and enlighten us. On a deeper level, they give meaning to who we are and shape our relationships to one another and the larger world in powerful ways. As a student at St. Michael’s back in the ’80s, I was immersed in campus life and what I call the circuitry of infinite possibil- Sities. Political Science brought the world to my doorstep and storied centuries of English and Philosophy filled my mind with ideas and lessons from lives lived and adventures beyond my own. Like tiny microbursts of energy, they infused my thoughts and charged my life with value and meaning.

When sophomore student Shane Beal passed away in May of 2019, friends and family came together to raise funds to purchase Theology books for the collection at the John M. Kelly Library and travel grants for the Gilson Seminar in Faith and Ideas. Shane was so inspired by the Gilson Seminar and proud of his job at Kelly Library. Both were instrumental in making his St. Mike’s experience special.
