2016-17 Annual Report 1 1 2016-17 ANNUAL REPORT Students, Faculty, Staff, Neighbors & Friends of Chatfield: Chatfield College recently completed the 2016-2017 school and fiscal year. Many milestones were achieved, and a graduating class fifty nine-strong was launched with inspiring and motivating words from Chatfield alumna DeAnna Hoskins ’03. (See page 4 for a graduation feature. Better yet, go to www.chatfield.edu/commencementspeech to see a graduation slide show including the actual audio of DeAnna’s memorable and moving commencement address.) After the ceremony, graduates, families, friends, faculty, neighbors and staff were the first to see and experience the renovated and expanded Welcome Center. A year of messy and dusty construction culminated in a new dining and gathering space for everyone, reconfigured offices for the Site Director, Admissions staff and Financial Aid department, a comfortable waiting area, plus plenty of student-only seating and activity rooms to enhance the experience for St. Martin students for decades to come. (See photos on pages 8-9.) The Welcome Center project, like the opening of the award-winning Cincinnati Campus in Over-the-Rhine the prior year, was made possible by the loyal and generous members of the entire Chatfield family of donors and supporters who contributed to the “Building Community” capital campaign. That campaign, scheduled to last a half-decade (2013-2018), was completed a year early, in June, having achieved its lofty goal of $5 million in gifts and pledges. Thank you to all who invested in this campaign, and more importantly, invested in our students. The past year, like most, was not without challenges. Over the course of three semesters, we served a total of 478 individuals who completed college credit classes. Our student population mirrors the larger society, where our fellow citizens battle addiction, poverty and despair. Our mission, to empower students who might best succeed in our supportive, small college experience, makes Chatfield well-suited to serve a population underserved by other colleges and universities. We are proud to be a diverse blend of adult learners and traditional age students, comprised predominately of first-generation college attendees, women (85%) and parents (65%). Ninety eight percent of Chatfield students receive some form of financial aid. Despite having advanced our mission and served our students, helping them improve their lives and the lives of their families, we fell short of expectations in an October peer review by our accrediting agency, the Higher Learning Commission, which placed Chatfield on probationary status in June. We are committed to addressing the reasons for this change of status, with the goal of removing it within the two year time allotted for improvement. See the Chatfield website (www.chatfield.edu) or HLC (www.hlcommission.org) for more information. In this annual report, you will see stories about the past year, find operating results, and see the names of those who made it all possible through gifts of all sorts and sizes. Each matters greatly. Chatfield is most fortunate to have such a loyal and committed community of supporters. Thank you! We are only here because of your love and generosity. Sincerely yours, Paul G. Sittenfeld John P. Tafaro 2 2 2016-17 Highlights Ursulines of Brown County Chatfield Welcomes New Chief Academic Transfer Land and Buildings Officer & Dean to Chatfield College In June, Peter E.

    Closer Connections: A Regional Study of Secular and Sectarian Orphanages and Their Response to Progressive Era Child-Saving Reforms, 1880-1930 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences by Debra K. Burgess B.A. University of Cincinnati June 2012 M.A. University of Cincinnati April 2014 Committee Chair: Mark A. Raider, Ph.D. 24:11 Abstract Closer Connections: A Regional Study of Secular and Sectarian Orphanages and Their Response to Progressive Era Child-Saving Reforms, 1880-1930 by Debra K. Burgess Child welfare programs in the United States have their foundation in the religious traditions brought to the country up through the late nineteenth century by immigrants from many European nations. These programs were sometimes managed within the auspices of organized religious institutions but were also found among the ad hoc efforts of religiously- motivated individuals. This study analyzes how the religious traditions of Catholicism, Judaism, and Protestantism established and maintained institutions of all sizes along the lines of faith- based dogma and their relationship to American cultural influences in the Midwest cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh during the period of 1880-1930. These influences included: the close ties between (or constructive indifference exhibited by) the secular and sectarian stakeholders involved in child-welfare efforts, the daily needs of children of immigrants orphaned by parental disease, death, or desertion, and the rising influence of social welfare professionals and proponents of the foster care system.

  • The University
    THE UNIVERSITY History Xavier University was established in 1831 when the first bishop of Cincinnati, Edward Fenwick, raised a two-story building near the cathedral in downtown Cincinnati and opened its doors to educate seminarians and other young men in the Ohio area. This institute of arts and sciences was the first Catholic institution of higher learning in the Northwest Territory. The original name of the college was The Athenaeum, but it was dedicated from the beginning to the patronage of St. Francis Xavier. At first, the college was administered by the bishop and his diocesan priests, but as it grew it began to require professional academic leadership. In 1840, Father Roothan, the Jesuit General, responded to Bishop Purcell's (Fenwick's successor) request and appointed three Jesuit priests, two brothers, and two scholastics to assume leadership of the college. Its name was changed to St. Xavier College in honor of the Jesuit educator under whose patronage the college was originally placed. It was during these first few years as a Jesuit institution that Xavier began to take on the unique character and special role that it fulfills today. For example, a mercantile program was added to the curriculum in 1840 because the Jesuit educators recognized the need to supplement the traditional humanities education with a sound business program. Today, the University is recognized for its development of the Williams College of Business, established in 1961, which, together with the other undergraduate colleges—the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Social Sciences as well as the center for adult and part-time students (CAPS)—provides students with a broad- based learning experience.
