5ALUMNI REUNION WEEKEND 2017 DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI 10 AWARDEES DONOR RECOGNITION RETURNS VOLUME 17 • NUMBER 1 14 FALL 2017 MARYGROVE COLLEGE • OFFICE OF ALUMNI RELATIONS Message from the We’ve been criticized for the timing of our decision, coming three weeks before the start of classes, and I want to address that President elephant in the room. After exhausting all possible funding sources to keep Marygrove intact, the immediate concern of the Board and Fellow alumni, this message the senior leadership team was our students. How can we help is bittersweet, tinged with transition them to the next best school for them?

We made the decision to continue providing Master’s Marygrove’s been providing for 90 level programs and professional development because we know that years in the city of Detroit. these programs are sustainable and are in demand.

More than 22,000 teachers have graduated with to the painful decision that a Marygrove MAT in that time. it did. Marygrove College has been experiencing a steady yet I am also bolstered by the fact that Marygrove has made bold dramatic decline in enrollment decisions like this before. We know of no other college in the country over the last several years, that has made this type of transformation, a transformation not despite vigorous recruitment and unlike our historically bold moves to educate women when it wasn’t marketing efforts. This has left fashionable, to bring 68 African American students to Marygrove in the college, with its dependence 1968 with the 68 for ’68 initiative, to create one of the nation’s on tuition, in its current first online MAT degrees, and to commit to an urban leadership untenable financial position. strategic vision. The College was not alone in this, for many small liberal arts colleges across the country are under the same stress. That’s why this year’s Alumni Reunion Weekend is a celebration of all that Marygrove was, is and will be. And we look to our alumni The leadership of the college, the Board of Trustees and the to recommit to what they know in their hearts about this hallowed Leadership Council of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart place…that whether you’re an undergrad or grad alumnus, Marygrove of Mary, have worked intensely for two years to find solutions that alumni make a positive impact on our world by living the ideals we would put the college back on its feet. know as the three C’s: competence, compassion and commitment. Marygrove is committed to continuing that legacy. As the financial picture worsened for Marygrove, we have sought the support of foundations and other grantors and donors. We’ve also professionalized our enrollment management operation and instituted an aggressive recruitment and retention program. We also conducted intensive traditional, digital and social media marketing campaigns. None of these strategies have worked to bring undergraduates to Marygrove. So rather than close completely, Marygrove can remain an anchor institution in the city of Detroit delivering quality graduate education and continuing to invite the community to our beautiful campus for events like the Contemporary American Authors Lecture Series and educational outreach through the Institute of Music and Dance. This was not an easy decision for the Board, many of whom are IHM sisters and/or alums, to make and, as you can imagine, it’s not been an easy decision to hear as an alum, student, faculty or staff member. The financial realities have hit Marygrove pretty hard. Marygrove is so tuition-dependent that we cannot run a college without students.

7 Mustangs Ride into the Sunset with a Proud Record
It was in 2007 that Marygrove officially began its athletics programs and, 10 years later, the Mustangs programs will conclude, leaving a proud history of over a thousand student-athletes playing the sport(s) they loved as they pursued their dream of a college degree.
As 2017 student-athletes learned that Marygrove would close its undergraduate programs, they were guided by their coaches to academic and athletic programs at other colleges and universities to finish out their college career. As of this writing, ninety percent of current student-athletes have been recruited and signed with other colleges and universities.
Athletic Director Steve Bloomfield said, “Marygrove was fortunate to have graduated some wonderful student-athletes over the years. While it’s sad that our current student-athletes and those who recently signed to play for Marygrove will not be graduating from here, many other schools see them as great representatives of their schools. It been a bittersweet ending, to be sure, but we’re more than pleased that the student-athletes who’ve made Marygrove proud will be taken care of. Our students’ easy transition to their next best school has been our first priority!”
Marygrove President Dr. Elizabeth Burns expressed her thanks to Athletic Director Steve Bloomfield, the coaches and staff of the Athletics and Wellness Department for their dedication to their students and their dedication to Marygrove. “It’s not been easy for Steve and the coaches and staff to phase out the program that they have built and say good-bye to the school they have come to love. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I want to share my boundless gratitude and the pride you’ve given to Marygrove for a decade.”

9 2017 DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD Recipients
The Marygrove College Distinguished Barbara G. Stanbridge, IHM ’63 Alumni and Distinguished Alumni When we set out on our life’s journey, many of us envision a linear movement—a kind of Pilgrim’s of Tomorrow Awards are two of the Progress in which each flip of the page brings the protagonist one step closer to the Divine. As Barbara highest honors that can be awarded to Stanbridge’s life illustrates, however, life often unfolds in a series of deviations, zig zags, and loops that graduates by Marygrove College and the change us and open us to rediscovering what was always there.
Marygrove College Alumni Association. Sister Barbara has never been one to mince words. Ask her about how she became a member of the IHM community and she’ll freely admit that although she “had a deep This year, we are proud to introduce prayer life” and was, even as a child, deeply inspired by the stories she heard about the School Sisters of Notre Dame, she did everything she could to “escape the call.” you to five award recipients. Please join After earning her undergraduate degree from Marygrove in 1963 and taking her final IHM vows in 1966, Sister Barbara quickly realized that she wanted more us Friday, September 16, 7:00 p.m., in change than the community was ready for. She had to be, as she puts it, “a nun in the modern world.” So in December of 1966, she left the community, married, the Marygrove Theatre. had a daughter, played active roles in the anti-war and civil-rights movements, and continued her education.
She completed coursework at the Pius XII Institute and earned master’s degrees in religious studies and human resource management from the University of Detroit and University Associates of San Diego, respectively. In addition to completing doctoral course work in leadership at the University of Michigan, she also undertook several organization and systems development training programs at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland.
It would take nearly four decades, and no shortage of personal and professional “zigzagging,” before Sister Barbara would again “circle back” and heed the call to IHM. But in the decades between, she certainly accomplished a lot.
In 1976, she founded CHANGE Human Resource Development, a consulting and training firm, providing services to Fortune 500 companies and not-for-profit and health care corporations. As an entrepreneur she became very active in NAWBO, the National Association of Women Business Owners, first at a local level then at a national level serving as National President.
It was from this sisterhood that she was named one of the 95 most powerful women in Michigan by Corp! magazine in 2002. The same year she was nominated to membership in the International Women’s Forum, an exclusive organization for women leaders whose membership is by nomination only. For 17 years, until she “retired” in 2010, Sister Barbara served as a chair for Vistage International, a learning organization for entrepreneurial CEOs.
When secondary Catholic education in Detroit was threatened, says friend Margaret Sweeney, IHM, “Barbara joined the drive to establish a very revolutionary concept in education.” The result was Detroit Cristo Rey High School, one of a national network of 32 Catholic, college preparatory schools that integrates four years of rigorous college preparatory academics with four years of professional work experience through the Corporate Work Study Program. The success of Detroit Cristo Rey, which boasts a 100 percent graduation and college-acceptance rate amongst its student body, has been, to say the least, staggeringly impressive.
In addition to serving on the Detroit Cristo Rey Board of Trustees and assisting in securing the school’s co-sponsorship by the Congregation of St. Basil and the Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Sister Barbara has also served on the founding board of Our Lady of Guadalupe School.
Since applying for readmission into the congregation and taking vows in 2005, Sister Barbara lives at Hartman Hall on the campus of Marygrove College and serves as Mission Integration Coordinator for the IHM community. 10 2017 DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD Recipients Catherine Haven Rohlman ’72 Christine Kennedy ’72
