Aspirefall 2010 U N I V E R S I T Y O F Sa I N T Ma R Y from the President AspireFall 2010 U NIVERSITY OF SAINT MARY from the president Dear Alumni and Friends, This is a unique time in the nation’s job market. We see it in the headlines of the day. As America’s baby boomer population ages, the demand for highly-skilled, well-educated health care professionals grows exponentially. The University of Saint Mary—with our strong roster of science majors and growing number of health care programs—stands ready to meet that need. That focus on meeting the needs of society is a hallmark of our founders and sponsors, the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth. The sisters, after all, made nursing education a primary goal during their first years in Leavenworth, and, quite notably, opened the first civilian hospital in Kansas. That we are able to rise to the challenge speaks to our commitment to academic excellence. Inferior science programs cannot hope to produce superior graduates. But our science alums have started their own companies, explored complex ecological matters in their labs, gone on to medical school, and taught in high schools across the country. Others became dentists and physician assistants. But make no mistake: our science majors are successful not only because of the quality of our science department. They also succeed because each has a solid foundation in the liberal arts that enhanced their ability to think, to express their thoughts, and to engage in critical discussion. Our graduates praise the liberal arts foundation they received while here. They speak of becoming great communicators and of developing a breadth of knowledge that distinguishes them from their co-workers and counterparts from other schools. Those communication skills—practiced from a values-based perspective—bring ethics to research and compassion to the bedside. Leading our efforts in the science fields is our talented faculty. They help shepherd our students down their career paths, building unique research projects to meet the needs of their students. They pursue grant money to maximize student research opportunities and buy new lab equipment. They help us prepare the health care and science professionals of tomorrow. Not all scientists and doctors are created equal. Saint Mary graduates bring a depth and breadth of understanding to their professions that sets them apart from their peers. Peace and blessings to you, Diane Steele, SCL, Ph.D., C’83 MISSION STATEMENT The University of Saint Mary educates students of diverse backgrounds to realize their God-given potential and prepares them for value-centered lives and careers that contribute to the well being of our global society. We value: community, respect, justice, and excellence.
