The theme, “Service Beyond One’s Self,” was a central message of President George’s Inaugural Address, in which she introduced a seven-point plan for Cabrini’s future. The plan showcased Justice Matters, the groundbreaking new core curriculum that prepares students to address local and global issues of social justice. President George also committed to reconnect with alumni; a fitting statement, since alumni representing each of the College’s 50 graduating classes marched in the inaugural procession. The ceremony was followed by several on-campus luncheons where President George greeted members of the College community. At an evening inaugural gala in Norristown, Pa., Janet Samuels, Ph.D., superintendent of Norristown School District, delivered the keynote President George delivered the inaugural address address and spoke about the College’s partnership with the people of in which she pledged to honor the College’s Norristown. tradition of “Service Beyond One’s Self.” President George was whisked from the gala to celebrate with students at the Black & White Inaugural Ball in the Mansion, where she was officially welcomed by the newly crowned Mr. and Miss Cabrini—John Solewin ’11 and Mary Kate Korp ’09. Cabrini Week (Nov. 9-16) began with an alumni reception for the Graphic Design and Fine Arts Faculty Show. Tom Roberts, editor of The National Catholic Reporter, presented “Catholic and American: an Examination of Conscience” as part of the Contemporary American Catholicism Lecture Series. The week also featured an academic symposium, “From Service to Solidarity: New Directions in Higher Education;” several liturgies; and student research presentations on the theme of health care and social justice. Cabrini Day, Nov. 13, featured Walter Tsou, M.D., of the University of Pennsylvania and former president of the American Public Health Association, who spoke to an audience of more than 200 on “National Health Insurance: Has the Time Come?” President Marie George and her husband, Francis, celebrated with students at the Black & White Inaugural Ball in the Mansion. Joan F. Lyon ’59 represented her class at the installation ceremony. Letter from the PRESIDENT June 30, 2009 Dear Friends of Cabrini College, I am pleased to present the Annual Report of Cabrini College for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, and the Honor Roll of Donors who supported the College during the period. Looking back on my first year as President of Cabrini College, I realize how truly blessed I am. Welcomed into Cabrini College’s community of learners by Board Chair Terry Cavanaugh ’74 and retiring President Antoinette Iadarola, mentored lovingly by President Emerita Sr. Mary Louise Sullivan, MSC ’63, Ph.D., and concluding a whirlwind of Inauguration events on a jam-packed dance floor at the students’ Black & White Ball, I understand why so many have such deep affection for this extraordinary institution. I learned so much this year by listening to faculty, students, staff, the Trustees, and especially from alumni I met at events throughout Pennsylvania and in Florida, Chicago, and New York. What I heard resoundingly is that so many of you are invested in the College, and in the future of Cabrini. It is imperative that Cabrini remain a relevant educational institution, where transformational learning occurs both inside and outside of the classroom. I discovered also that many alumni have great fondness for those who taught them. Sr. Patricia Spillane ’64, Superior Generalate of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, came to campus in October 2008 and took special joy in greeting her former philosophy professor Joe Romano, then in his 49th year as a Cabrini faculty member. Also in October the nation’s and the worldwide economy began to falter, challenging us as stewards of the College’s resources. We had to react quickly, trimming spending and increasing financial aid by $150,000 to ease the burden on undergraduates in need so they could return for the spring semester. The Financial Aid Office worked to insure that each of the College’s 32 endowed scholarships would be awarded; while the Alumni Association increased fundraising activities in support of its newly established scholarship. By year’s end, the Alumni Association had made two scholarship awards rather than one as originally intended. Although not detailed in the financial report, revenue for FY 2008-09 was buoyed by more than 1,700 students enrolled at 21 offsite graduate education programs…but we understand that this revenue is not likely to continue on a long-term basis. Faced with the prospect of a continuing economic downturn in the coming fiscal year, we proposed a budget for FY 2009-10 that reduced general operating expenses by $1.9 million and increased financial aid to incoming and returning students by $620,000. In summary, we remain committed to help students continue their Cabrini education in a difficult economy while maintaining academic excellence, and providing the curricular and co-curricular support students need to develop as engaged citizens of a global society. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued generosity in these difficult times. Marie A. George, Ph.D. President CABRINI COLLEGE | 1 2008-09 HIGHLIGHTS Marie Angelella George, Ph.D., Welcomed as Seventh President Dr. George assumed the presidency on July 1, 2008, after an extensive national search and unanimous vote by the College’s Board of Trustees.

  • History Alternatives by Time Period" Is Broken Apart Into Subjects and ALL the Titles I've Found So Far, with Their Reading Levels
    HISTORY READING ALTERNATIVES PDF: Caswell 3 Laura Berquist approved sharing this list but because she hasn't reviewed all of these books, she just wanted to make sure it was made clear that it's the work of Deanna Caswell, not MODG. Deanna created lists of all the history books in the 2nd - 5th grade MODG history lesson plans determining reading levels by using what her home state of TN uses: AcceleratedReader level, http://www.arbookfind.com/ . Then she researched alternatives for students who are struggling or want something more advanced. She explains below what the document covers. I think you'll find it very helpful when you're trying to see the grade level for which a particular book is written. If your child is struggling w/the suggested book, you can look for a book more in line w/his reading ability. It's good to have a mix of challenging reads and easy reads. If you are busy and neither you nor an older sibling can sit down to read a suggested book, you can find an alternative book that the child can read. **** The list "MODG Recommendations" is the reading levels for all the books in the syllabi, her originals and alternatives. This is so the parent can identify HER recommendations first and see if they are in the child's level. The lists are long because Laura recommends some series. It's ONLY Laura's listed books. Bolded titles are the ones in the lesson plans. Not-bolded are the one she lists as alternatives and are not in the lesson plans.

  • The Contribution of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917) to Catholic Educational Practice in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
    The Contribution of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917) to Catholic Educational Practice in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries Maria Patricia Williams Ph D Thesis University College London Institute of Education 1 I, Maria Patricia Williams confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract My thesis evaluates the educational practice of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917). Cabrini, a schoolteacher from Lombardy, founded the Institute of Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (MSC) in Codogno, Italy in 1880. When she died, a United States citizen in Chicago, USA, she had established 70 houses in Europe and the Americas. One thousand women had joined the MSC. Her priority was to work with some of the estimated thirteen million Italians who emigrated between 1880 and 1915. The literature review considers the relatively little work in the history of education on Catholic educational practice. The research addresses three questions: 1. How did Mother Cabrini understand Catholic educational practice? 2. How can Mother Cabrini’s understanding of Catholic educational practice be seen in the work of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? 3. How far did Mother Cabrini develop a coherent approach to Catholic educational practice? A multiple case study approach is used, focussing on the educational practice of Cabrini and the MSC in Rome, London and New Orleans, within the transnational context of their Institute.

  • St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Dismissed and Dissed?
    St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Dismissed and dissed? Dorothy Day supposedly uttered that famous phrase, “Don’t call me a saint. I don’t want to be dismissed so easily.” Day, of course, now has her own cause for sainthood. And she was deeply devoted to many saints, and once said that we’re all called to sainthood. But she had a point about saints being dismissed easily. Case in point is the recent brouhaha in New York over a statue to St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first U.S. citizen to be canonized. You’ve probably heard the story: The city of New York has monuments all over the place, but there’s a woeful gap in the number of women versus men so honored. The first lady of New York, Chirlane McCray, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s spouse, headed up a commission with the intent of narrowing that gap. Called the “She Built NYC” project, the commission decided to ask New Yorkers for their input on which women should be honored with a statue. So far, so good. New Yorkers nominated some 320 women. And the big winner? Mother Cabrini, with 219 votes. Sad to say, however, when the commission picked seven winners to be memorialized around the city with monuments costing taxpayers about $5 million, St. Frances Cabrini didn’t make the cut. Why not? Part of the intent of the project was to raise awareness of women of color, a group often overlooked and undervalued. So, one excellent selection was Shirley Chisholm, America’s first black congresswomen.
