BRAVE LEGACY. BOLD VISION

.

Our 2021-22 school year has been exciting, enlightening and rewarding. I am honored to continue advancing the mission of Carlow University—a community dedicated to the rich history of the Sisters of Mercy and devoted to student success, both while they’re here and after they’ve graduated.

The outpouring of support and positivity has been humbling during this past inaugural year serving as the 11th president of Carlow University, an institution with a BRAVE LEGACY and enduring values that align with my own. I’ve learned a lot through the meetings I’ve had with our various constituents—from board members, students, faculty and staff to civic, business and community leaders, donors, and strategic partners. These learnings served as the foundation for reimagining Carlow’s BOLD VISION that will power us toward the future.

With a commitment to shared governance, our faculty, staff, administration and board are moving Carlow forward together. Carlow’s heritage of Mercy values and academic excellence is at the forefront as we collectively evolve our efforts to affect positively the lives of our students, transforming them to meet the needs of an ever-changing world. The Carlow University community actively looks to unite students with educational opportunities they otherwise may not have had and to see them across the finish line as they earn their degrees and achieve their dreams.

A CALLING TO MEET THE NEXT GREAT NEED

Steeped in Mercy values and solidarity of purpose, our University is unique in our student recruitment goals. Carlow proudly seeks to be the most inclusive in meeting 21st century student needs and building a just and merciful world that values each person.

Committed to building innovative pathways that prepare our students for successful careers through a faculty dedicated to teaching excellence and experiential learning opportunities, Carlow helps each student become the person they want to be—always with an eye for building the workforce of the future that will serve the communities where they live.

We see significant growth potential for our Early Childhood Center given the demand for quality child care and the need for Early Childhood Education teachers across the region. I hope you enjoy the story on page 6 about our unique Apprenticeship HUB program— a transformational educational model which benefits families, our students and, ultimately, our society.

“ Carlow proudly seeks to be the most inclusive in meeting 21st century student needs and building a just and merciful world that values each person.”

— KATHY W. HUMPHREY, P h D

Carlow is forging partnerships that allow us to expand our programming options more quickly. Among the new undergraduate students coming for fall 2023, I look forward to welcoming those enrolled in our new Public Health, Esports Business Management and Computer Science programs.

I also am pleased to say that Carlow will be working hard to engage with young people who have aged out of the foster care system, offering them opportunities currently unavailable in the region. More than 1,100 youth in Pennsylvania age out or leave the foster care system at age 18 each year. One fourth of them will be arrested after leaving care and nearly half will not complete high school. Nearly half will not have found a job within four years of leaving the system. We want to change those statistics.

BUILDING THE WORKFORCE OF THE FUTURE

We are proud of the flexible learning options we provide which make it possible for working adults to gain or refresh skills that will improve their employability or promotability. We’ve made our degrees more accessible by designing stackable certificate programs that allow students to build their degrees over time. Additionally, as you’ll read on page 21, we are partnering with employers, such as Highmark Wholecare, to tailor upskilling programs that meet the needs of their workforce.

Our investment in four graduate health sciences programs is aligned with the significant demand for speech language pathologists, physician assistants and occupational and physical therapists. I am grateful for the legislative support Carlow received which helped us secure a $1 million state grant. As a result of our generous donors and a Redevelopment

OFFERING OPPORTUNITIES FOR DREAM FULFILLMENT

For lifelong learners, we offer opportunities such as our Master of Fine Arts degree that allows professionals who took a different path—such as teachers, lawyers, surgeons, and more—to later pursue their passions. Our MFA program is renowned for its unique collaboration with Trinity University in Dublin, Ireland, to mentor our student writers and poets, fostering a different vantage point on what they can achieve. To learn more about how we leverage our Irish heritage to reinforce the relevance of our Mercy values, read our story on page 18.

We’ve set lofty goals for outcomes, rethought our policies and committed to letting the best kept secret of Carlow University out of the bag. Carlow is making a difference—we’re changing people’s lives in ways that help our world to become an even better place

And you’re changing lives too! Your reach goes farther than you could ever imagine. A gift to Carlow helps open the door of hope to a student’s future success—which leaves a lasting legacy of change in the lives of future generations.

Thank you for your support!

FINANCIAL AID FOR

APPRENTICESHIP HUB APPLIES HANDS-ON LEARNING TOWARD DEGREE ATTAINMENT

Apprenticeships, which are commonplace for careers in the building trades, now are now being applied to early childhood education through a new, pioneering program at Carlow University. The early childhood education workforce has been a traditionally underserved population. The Apprenticeship HUB is making higher education more accessible to child care workers by opening barriers to school enrollment and degree attainment for working adults in the field.

Launched in 2018 and bolstered by a $1 million private grant in 2019 and a $1 million grant and $1 million endowment from The Heinz Endowments in 2020, the Western Pennsylvania Early Childhood Education Apprenticeship HUB was approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor as the state’s first four-year early childhood apprenticeship program.

“This program provides opportunities to diversify the child care and teaching workforce and improve educational quality, while recognizing the value and contribution of each working professional,” said Susan Polojac, director of the Early Childhood Apprenticeship HUB. “It will serve as the model for programs across the state and is expected to help improve child care workforce retention, increase child care quality and boost teacher diversity—all of which are key to future success for Pennsylvania’s children.”

The Apprenticeship HUB provides support to help current child care workers attain their degrees, which will increase the quality of child care across the state. Students in the program complete 24 credits of their degrees on the job with the support of mentors and coaches. Additional courses can be completed in the evenings and online to accommodate working adults, and a one-month paid practicum in an elementary setting provides invaluable field experience needed in pursuit of Pre-K to 4 teacher certification.

In addition, students receive free access to a professional lending library of course materials, textbooks and digital media tools, as well as the ability to borrow early childhood materials and resources. They also receive free tutoring and career and academic support services for coursework and preparation for required certification tests to help ensure student success.

“

Teaching young children is the most important work one can engage in. Teachers are agents of change who are needed to instill values of humanity, compassion, empathy and love of learning in each child they are privileged to teach.”

— SUSAN POLOJAC

We are grateful to the bold vision and inspirational leadership of Dr. Rae Ann Hirsh, the visionary and creator of the Apprenticeship Hub program, who passed away in September 2022. Her legacy will live on through this unique student pathway she helped create to meet our region’s great need for quality early childhood education.”

— KATHY W. HUMPHREY, P h D

BriBRIANA FITZGERALD

Years after graduating from community college with an Early Childhood Associate Certificate, Bri Fitzgerald thought she might be done with school forever. She loved her job as a pre-K teacher and the idea of traditional school never appealed to her. That all changed when she applied for funding and enrolled in Carlow University’s Early Education Apprenticeship Program in fall 2021.

“I feel supported 100%,” says Bri. “Everyone at Carlow has impacted me in their own way. They share their own stories, and they inspire me because I want to help people at a higher level, too. Now, I encourage my colleagues to continue their educations.”

But Bri’s favorite part about the Apprenticeship HUB is the way the program is set up. From tailoring every semester’s course load to fit into Bri’s schedule of work, parenthood and dancing for the Steel City Angels, to the options of different class models, Bri’s courses have looked completely different from her last college experience.

“Everything has been so much easier—the teachers know we are in school but also understand that we have lives outside of school, and that is so important.”

For someone who at one point wasn’t quite sure how to fit school into her schedule, Bri is already on track to begin a master’s program as soon as she finishes her bachelor’s degree. “I went from ‘I’m done with school’ to ‘I can’t get enough of school,’” she says.

DEANNA LUCAS

For Deanna Lucas, expanding her education past her Childhood Development Associate (CDA) credential felt like a lofty goal. Between her fulltime teaching job and two kids, she didn’t believe she would ever find the time to pursue a degree. Plus, it had been more than 12 years since she’d been a student and she wondered if she’d be able to handle it all.

After putting the idea off for a few years (and thanks to some persistent encouragement), Deanna enrolled in Carlow University’s Early Education Apprenticeship Program in August 2021 and has never looked back. “I was nervous because I didn’t believe in myself,” Deanna says. “But now I get more excited with every class I take. This is the best I’ve ever felt.”

“

Deanna

With an expected graduation in 2025, Deanna has the ability to take her time through her classes and directly apply the lessons to the one- to three-year-olds she works with in Washington County as lead teacher of an early Head Start classroom.

But her favorite part of the program has been the people. “My mentors at Carlow have been a great support—always quick to reply to emails and questions, always asking about my life and encouraging me,” says Deanna. “When I’m having a hard time, they remind me to take a step back and tell me I’m doing great.”

For someone who has been around kids her whole life, Deanna’s outlook toward teaching children has always been to learn something new every day. And, thanks to Carlow University, Deanna is fulfilling her personal education goals while simultaneously applying her curriculum to her current students. “Knowing I will leave this program with a bachelor’s degree is the greatest accomplishment of my life.”

JAMEL HAZLIP

Jamel Hazlip had been working in infant and toddler care for years before she earned her CDA two years ago through CCAC. And she might have stopped her education there had it not been for Carlow reaching out to the director of her program. “Carlow had a short list of potential students for their Apprenticeship HUB program, and I was delighted to be on it,” she says. “No other universities have a rivaling program, and no other college reached out to recruit me,” she says.

Jamel currently works for a child development center in downtown Pittsburgh. Despite many years of experience prior to her enrollment in Carlow’s apprenticeship program, she is still learning and applying new concepts from her classes to her teachings, particularly learning through play.

Child care centers can have high rates of turnover among instructors, and the center where Jamel works is no different. A pre-K teacher’s absence in summer 2022 opened the door for Jamel to work with school-age children. At first, she did not have confidence working with this age group after all her years with babies and toddlers but, with the knowledge and confidence she has been building with Carlow, she was able to fill the role so well that the students have come to expect her as their regular teacher.

Jamel

Jamel now is pursuing the four-year bachelor’s degree program in Early Childhood Education and says the support she has received from the advisors and mentors has been instrumental to her success. That support has given Jamel the confidence to consider something she never thought she might—a master’s degree. As the first person in her family to go to college, Jamel was accepted into Carlow’s TRiO program, which gives her the opportunity to take specialized classes in resume building, schedule keeping and—most important for Jamel—technology training courses.

“I did not have 100% confidence in returning to school, but through this apprenticeship program, I’ve come to realize that I’m a lot stronger and more capable than I thought,” she says.

JESSICA OLESNEVICH

Like many high school graduates, Jessica Olesnevich thought she’d missed her chance to go to college when she found herself pregnant and then raising a young son shortly after graduation. While working in a child care center, one of the directors told her about the apprenticeship program at Carlow University. It sounded like the perfect fit for her.

“I appreciate the fact that most of the instructors have been in the same position of working full time while also pursuing a degree,” she said. “I always thought once I had kids, I wouldn’t have time, but there’s so much time that goes unnoticed. And I’m glad that I’m putting that time now into schooling.”

Jessica is on a four-year track to receive her bachelor’s degree in education and her Pre-K to 4 certification. She had looked at other colleges, but none had the support structure that Carlow offered. And she knew she was going to need that support because she currently works full-time as a preschool teacher and assistant director of a child care center.

Jessica likes the wide variety of classes that are offered through the program and the ability to choose the courses that most interest her and apply most to her field of education.

Even after eight years of working with children, Jessica still finds herself surprised by the knowledge she gains through her classes—particularly from other students sharing their experiences in child education. She hopes to use her degree to continue working with children and be the support for kids who might need some special attention.

Her experience with Carlow has been so great that she encouraged one of her employees to pursue the same program. “I told her, if I can do it with two kids, a husband, and all my other responsibilities, you can do it too.”

Widening Horizons thru Travel Abroad

Each year, Carlow students have the opportunity to participate in immersive cultural experiences that not only are transformative for them, but also make an immediate positive difference in the lives of others. Through the Center for Global Engagement, 68 students participated in eight faculty/staff-led study-abroad programs in such locales as Jamaica, Ireland, Galapagos and Uganda

“ The Sisters of Mercy’s longstanding commitment to social justice and uplifting vulnerable persons continues to inspire and transform generations through Carlow University’s student experiential learning opportunities both here and abroad.”

— SUSAN O’ROURKE

SPOTLIGHT ON UGANDA

Particularly notable are the studentservice learning projects that have touched hearts and changed lives in that country, according to Susan O’Rourke, EdD, director of the Global Center, who has been traveling to and working in Uganda for the past 10 years. “Each year we have a different focus, but always with an eye toward increasing access to education, health care and basic needs for vulnerable populations living in rural villages in Uganda,” Dr. O’Rourke noted.

The Center covers the travel expenses for two faculty members and the in-country transportation for student teams through a grant from the Carlow Social Justice Institute. This past July, Carlow students and faculty who spent nearly three weeks in Uganda completed an amazing number of service projects that touched the lives of many people.

Students also had the opportunity to enjoy excursions, such as whitewater rafting, hiking to the highest falls in east Africa and going on a Safari.

Students who took part included Shannon White, a PsyD major, and five nursing students: Brittany Stone-Jenkins, Charlotte Wilson, Megan Canose, Jodi McVay and Kaitlin Cash. Faculty members Aimee Zellers, PhD; Deborah Mitchum, DNP; and Kevin Spencer, PhD accompanied the students on the tour of Uganda.

✺

UGANDA SERVICE PROJECTS AMONG THE STUDENT-SERVICE LEARNING PROJECTS COMPLETED THIS YEAR:

Led a maternal health conference attended by 35 nurses and several government and community leaders.

✺

Opened a clinic in a remote village, saw hundreds of patients, opened a pharmacy, worked to secure Level II designation and gave out free medications and vaccinations.

✺

Distributed more than 150 pairs of eyeglasses at a vision clinic.

✺ Hosted a clinic at the SMILE school which taught community members how to make desks for the classrooms. The school was built eight years ago by and continues to receive support from Carlow faculty, students and the Pittsburgh community.

✺ Conducted health assessments for children attending St. Francis School for the Blind and for Noah’s Ark, a school for children with disabilities that grew out of a parent group Carlow established in 2014.

✺

Drilled two water wells and brought soccer and volley balls to three different schools.

GRANT FUNDING

ADVANCES INITIATIVES TO ENHANCE THE CARLOW STUDENT EXPERIENCE

Thanks to a $1.76 million grant that Carlow pursued and was awarded by the U.S. Department of Education, the University is creating a student experience that will help them develop holistically.

Led by grant awardee Jason Krall, assistant provost, and managed by Carol Yoannone, grant administrator, the program funded by the Institutional Resilience and Expanded Postsecondary Opportunity (IREPO) grant will be providing a personalized array of services and educational opportunities to a wide spectrum of current and future student audiences. To meet the two-year grant’s objectives, Carlow has used the grant funding to hire several coordinators, who oversee individual components of the program, including an on-staff mental health professional to address student needs.

Taylor Stewart, a current graduate student in the Master of Arts in Psychology (MAP) program, is benefiting from the grant both as a student and a professional. Taylor, who is on-track to finish her master’s in April 2023 and hopes to start on her PsyD degree in fall 2023, is thrilled to be serving as the connecting/mentoring coordinator.

Graduate assistant positions are just one way grants can benefit students now and pay dividends for the future. Taylor is filling a critical need, which is helping the University meet student-centered objectives. In turn, Taylor is gaining meaningful professional experience toward her dream of having her own private counseling practice, where she intends to focus on helping families and elite athletes in her own community. “I want to stay in Pittsburgh to practice,” said Taylor, a lifelong city resident. “There’s currently only one female minority psychologist in Pittsburgh and I’m going to change that.”

The mentorship program Taylor manages already is showing success. “When we reached out for alumni mentors to volunteer, we were hoping to get 500. Instead, we got 664,” Taylor said. “And we received 11 student applications through the CarlowConnect app in just the first three weeks and have already made five alumni-student matches.”

GRANT MONEY WILL SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING INITIATIVES:

★ Tuition assistance for high school students taking college classes.

★ Textbooks for students in dual enrollment classes and early childhood apprenticeship program.

★ Production of a virtual new student orientation program.

★ New courses and skills-based workshops for dual enrollment students.

★ Development of high-quality hybrid and online courses.

★ Increased remote internships.

★ Enhanced mentorship programs.

★ New laptops for faculty and staff.

★ Improved closed-captioning services for students with disabilities.

★ Additional coronavirus screening.

THE

NEW GRADUATE HEALTH SCIENCES PROGRAMS ON-TRACK TO MEET 21ST CENTURY NEEDS

The Speech-Language Pathology graduate program was launched in 2021 as the first of four graduate health sciences programs. The MS in Physician Assistant and MS and OTD in Occupational Therapy programs launched in fall 2022 and the DPT in Physical Therapy is enrolling students now for fall 2023.

NEW SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY CLINIC OFFERS FREE SERVICES TO CARLOW’S WEST OAKLAND NEIGHBORS

Aligned with Carlow’s Mercy tradition of reaching out to help those in need, Carlow University has begun serving residents of the West Oakland community with evaluation and treatment services for speech and language disorders. The Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) Clinic now serves clients with a full range of screening, diagnostic and therapeutic speech-language services at no cost. At the SLP Clinic, diagnostic assessment includes evaluating communication skills with typical referrals including (but not limited to) children with language delays or difficulty articulating sounds and adults who have had strokes or other neurologic conditions. After determining a client’s needs, graduate student clinicians and their faculty supervisors will design a plan uniquely for them. The SLP clinic currently is housed in the Hopkins Communication Lab within the University Commons building.

CARLOW MS IN PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT DEGREE PROGRAM RECEIVES ACCREDITATION

Carlow’s new, cohort-based Physician Assistant (PA) program recently received provisional accreditation from the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA). This third-party accrediting agency protects the interests of the public and PA profession by defining the standards for PA education and evaluating PA educational programs within the U.S. to ensure their compliance with those standards. This innovative program accelerates student learning with a 25-month program designed to build upon prior health care experience and clinical skills. It provides a holistic and supportive academic environment that focuses on personalized attention in the classroom and labs. Grounded in Carlow’s Mercy values, the program is taught in a three-phase curriculum with a multidisciplinary environment alongside other health care professionals. Upon graduation, students are prepared to take the Physician Assistant National Certification Examination (PANCE) and pursue a versatile and in-demand career as a physician assistant.

HRSA TUITION ASSISTANCE HELPS FILL NURSING EDUCATOR SHORTAGE

Carlow is using federal grant funding to not only increase the number of faculty to help fill the current nursing educator shortage but also to strengthen its own ranks.

The federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant program was established in 2018 for nursing students who intend to teach in nursing degree programs at colleges and universities. It offers 85% loan repayment for nurse-educators who take a full-time nursing teaching job at the collegiate level within one year of graduation and stay in the position for four years. If the recipient does not secure a teaching job, the grant converts to current loan rates.

“The program has been extremely successful,” said nursing professor Renee Ingel, PhD, MSN, BSN, who directs the Carlow DNP and MSN Leadership Program. “It enables nurses who want to become faculty to teach nursing to nursing students. Besides being rewarding for the nurses, it’s really helping with recruitment to these programs.”

Carlow has long been a champion for underrepresented groups and used its HRSA grant application to recruit students from these groups in the nursing field—those from rural, underserved and/or marginalized populations. So far, three African American students, two students with Hispanic or BIPOC ethnicity and three students from rural West Virginia have been assisted by the funding; it is expected to help Carlow recruit students from underrepresented groups going forward.

Angela Simmons, MSN, BSN, is in the homestretch of her work toward her hybrid Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from Carlow University. In December 2022, she will have earned her third degree in three years, having received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in 2019 from Slippery Rock University and her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from Carlow in 2021. That’s in addition to practicing as a registered nurse and parenting two college-age children during a pandemic.

But her doctorate was in question in 2021 when, midstream into her online MSN program, she had to leave her assistant director of nursing position due to an underlying health condition. She worried that she might not be able to afford to finish the rest of her degree.

However, game-changing funding from HRSA to grow the nursing workforce, improve access to nursing education and advance health equity has kept Angela and others like her in school and filling educator positions in nursing schools.

“I had two end goals,” said Angela. “One was to teach nursing at the college level, and the other was to make an impact on the current nursing shortage. In the nursing education track, I really saw the importance of the faculty role in the learning process. Dr. Ingel not only mentored me and inspired me to take that step toward my DNP, but she also told me about the HRSA grant that’s making it possible.” Nearly 35 educators have used these funds to graduate from our programs, and one of the newest to join Carlow is Angela. She started a position as a community and public health educator at Carlow in August 2022.

The ability to earn a Carlow advanced teaching degree online, and with federal funding to pay tuition, is helping to add new, well-prepared nurses to the workforce—and in record time. Because these ambitious students have things to do. “I just had to get in, get it accomplished and move on with my dream!” said Angela.

Rita Trofino, DNP, MNEd, RN, associate dean of nursing at St. Francis University, was able to use the HRSA grant for the last semester of her DNP degree work at Carlow. She also supervised several students who went on to get their DNPs too. “I wish the grant had been available at the beginning of my program,“ said Rita. “It would have made my life a little easier.“

“

I had two end goals: One was to teach nursing at the college level, and the other was to make an impact on the current nursing shortage.”

Catherine McAuley’s first ministry— even before the founding of the Sisters of Mercy—was to provide welcoming and safe shelter for those who needed it. I think she’d be delighted to know that this amazing gift from McAuley Ministries is enabling Carlow to do that very thing in our day.”

Mcauley Ministries Grants

CONTINUE TO FUEL THE UNIVERSITY’S MISSION

A generous $2 million grant supports the expansion of the University’s footprint to enhance the student experience.

Carlow has been blessed many times over by the Sisters of Mercy, who brought their caring and compassionate works to Pittsburgh and founded the Pittsburgh Mercy Hospital in 1847 and Carlow University as Mount Mercy College in 1929. McAuley Ministries was formed from the proceeds the Sisters received when Pittsburgh Mercy Hospital merged with UPMC in 2008. The Carlow community is grateful to McAuley Ministries for awarding the single largest grant in their history to the University this past June.

The $2 million grant from McAuley Ministries has gone toward the acquisition of three campus buildings owned by the Sisters of Mercy. McAuley, Trinity and Aiden Halls are a key part of Carlow’s Capital Campus Transformation Plan, a strategic initiative to grow programs and services for our students and the West Oakland community. With the refurbishment of McAuley Hall, Carlow is able to expand its residential housing capabilities.

The acquision of Trinity Hall, which houses our Campus Lab School, will allow us to further enhance and grow our K-8 programs. Aiden Hall will house the Carlow Closet on-campus mission-oriented program, which provides clothing free of charge to any student who needs it. The building also will house a new food pantry that will support not only Carlow students but also Oakland-area residents who are struggling with food insecurity.

BRAVE LEGACY. BOLD VISION.

“

The key to social justice is providing a platform for all viewpoints to be heard and to have the dialog. These can be challenging conversations, but they are necessary to enable students to become advocates of change toward a more just and merciful world.”

— RYAN SCOTT

A $200,000 McAuley Ministries grant bolsters two new social justice initiatives. Carlow’s Social Justice Institutes serves as a platform for education and community engagement to promote fairness and equity across many aspects of society.

The Social Justice Training Institutes Fellowship Program with Complimentary JusticeOriented Art Gallery Exhibitions

Carlow students with a genuine passion for fairness and equity are participating in the pilot for an interdisciplinary series of social justice workshops. Students will discuss issues, such as domestic/gender-based violence, transformative justice and antiracism, and gain the skills necessary to effectively address these issues. Relationships, community-building and healing will be integral pieces of this project.

“The program will engage, train and equip students with critical skills to effectively address social justice issues through a novel approach that will feature an arts and creative-practice capstone,” said Ryan Scott, director of the Social Justice Institutes at Carlow.

“Student participants will use the information and experience to support their work in the development and implementation of action strategies to combat sexual/gender-based violence and anti-racism on a community level. The program also will engage a diverse group of local leaders who are transforming the landscape of social justice and racial equity to enrich the program content and create connection to a community of mentors.”

The first cohort of eight students began in Fall Semester 2022. Students will be able to earn college credit through the Women and Gender Studies Department for participating in the workshops, similar to an independent study.

The grant award also will be used to develop a community and participation-based public exhibition that communicates social justice through the visual

lens of creativity and artwork. Curated by a professional artist, this unique educational experience will feature artwork by and about Black women and their experiences as depicted visually.

A Braided Community: Intergroup Dialogue Project

The second initiative will allow the University to engage in a dialog with our campus neighbors— residents of West Oakland and the upper Hill District—to find out how we can best live in harmony together.

CARLOW HOSTS TRANSFORMATIVE ROUNDTABLE IN IRELAND FOR

MERCY FACULTY/STAFF

The Sisters of Mercy envisioned a just world for people who are economically poor, sick or uneducated. This brave legacy continues to guide our work as faculty and staff in ensuring that these Mercy values are evident and relevant for our students throughout their Carlow experience, both inside and outside the classroom.

One way to more deeply connect with the Mercy values is to go to the place where it all started. Bi-annually, Carlow hosts a special meeting in Dublin, Ireland—the birthplace of Catherine McAuley, who founded the Sisters of Mercy— for the faculty and staff of the 17 colleges and universities that make up the Conference for Mercy Higher Education, of which Carlow is a member.

SANDI

This five-day Roundtable immerses participants in the Mercy way through an exploration of our roots as a Catholic institution and elucidates the power one person can have to change the world.

This year was the 10th biennial gathering, although the 2020 meeting was held virtually due to the pandemic. Besides learning ways to live out the values of the Sisters of Mercy, participants also visit important locations around Dublin and other parts of Ireland to explore the order’s roots—to see how it all began. The experience often is described as transformative by those who attend.

“ The Mercy Roundtable is an opportunity to experience the expansiveness of the Mercy mission.”

D i MOLA

“The Mercy Roundtable is an opportunity to experience the expansiveness of the Mercy mission,” said Sandi DiMola, JD, chair and associate professor of political science at Carlow. “Meeting and collaborating with Mercy colleagues from across the U.S. in ‘the room where it happened’ nuances the mission with a sense of place. It informed my teaching as I now show students that the mission—while a grand concept—can be defined, experienced, and lived in numerous and personal ways.”

Carlow sponsors the Roundtable as a way to bring forward best practices from across Mercy institiutions so that faculty and staff can be reinvigorated and inspired to integrate them into how they teach and engage with students.

“Carlow University was founded because the Sisters of Mercy understood that there was no place in Pittsburgh for Catholic women to get a college education,” said Sister Sheila Carney, RSM, special assistant to the president at Carlow, who has attended the Roundtable several times. “That’s a hallmark of the Sisters of Mercy: A constant pursuit of the next great need. They were constantly asking: ‘Who’s not being served? Who’s out there that nobody cares about?’ Those are Mercy values. They tell us who we need to reach. That’s how we affect transformational change.”

Lisa Sharfstein, assistant director of the Center for Academic Achievement at Carlow, attended the Roundtable in person in 2022 to present a scholarly paper on ungraded

At the 2019 meeting, she did a virtual presentation of her study titled “Fostering Mercy Characteristics in the Tutoring Center.” Her data showed that, when she began to intentionally and purposefully incorporate Mercy values into her peer tutor training program, the tutors’ perceived value of their work increased dramatically.

“The Roundtable gave us a chance to see the validation of Mercy values and their relevance to today’s world,” Sharfstein said. “You leave the conference energized but it’s bigger than that—it captivates you in our shared heritage, value and legacy, so that we are able to pass that on to students through our interactions with them.”

Jen Roth, PhD, professor of psychology at Carlow, agrees. “It was a powerful experience to get to know the people from other Mercy institutions and their work over a week,” said Dr. Roth, who attended the Roundtable. “I find that having the deeper connection to Mercy values and their origins helps to keep me more grounded in those values as I teach and do all of my other work at Carlow. It all connects and manifests in what I teach and how I teach.

“Sharing those universal Mercy values with my students inside and outside of the classroom helps them to shape and add meaning to the work they are doing, while also guiding them to prepare for their future work,” she added. “People interpret and apply our shared Mercy values in ways I never imagined. It makes me think about how I can allow them to manifest in more ways in my own work.”

MADWOMEN IN THE ATTIC

The Madwomen in the Attic program—still going strong 40+ years since founding—has become a revered and sought-after program by women undergraduates and community writers nationally and internationally.

It was developed in 1979 by Ellie Wymard, PhD, a Carlow University graduate who worked for the University for nearly 50 years and passed away at age 84 on Dec. 28, 2021.

Madwomen offers opportunities for publishing, mentoring, awards and readings, including: MadBooks, a chapbook publishing series; Madwomen Mentorship, a free peer-mentorship program; Madwomen Reading Series, featuring nationally acclaimed poets and writers; and the MadFridays Reading Series featuring Madwomen students and teachers.

Also offered are Madwomen Writing Workshops—semesterlong creative writing sessions that are open to women undergrads and community writers ages 18 to 99. Classes are held on weekday evenings for two hours, both on campus and online. These serious writers not only bring their writing drafts to class but, with solidarity, offer constructive criticism and support for others in the group who always share one thing in common—a love of writing.

During her tenure at Carlow, Dr. Wymard created some of the first women’s studies courses in the country. She also held several leading positions at the University, including chair of the women’s studies and English departments. At the time of her retirement, the Braddock, Pa., native served as the director of Carlow’s Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program, which offers residency in both Pittsburgh and Dublin, Ireland.

Dr. Wymard developed the Madwomen poetry workshops, the women’s studies program, the Marie Torre Lecture Series, the honors program and the Focus on Women Lecture Series

In 1995, Dr. Wymard also was recognized as a recipient of the Carlow Women of Spirit award which honors outstanding women leaders in the community who best embody Carlow’s mission. In 2012, she was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Humanities by the University and was named a Carlow Laureate—the University’s most prestigious alumni honor—in 2015.

She authored four books and her critical essays on women writers have been published in both the United States and Europe. She also appeared on television and radio, and spoke before professional audiences on topics related to her written work. She is survived by her two sons and seven grandchildren.

“ Ellie Wymard was one of the most profoundly impactful women in the history of Carlow University. Having been a part of the Carlow community as a student, an alumna and a faculty member, Ellie had a wide impact on the University’s growth. Her life epitomizes our greatest hope for a Carlow graduate, and the Carlow University community owes Ellie a debt of gratitude.”

Re-Envisioning Workforce Development

Carlow is meeting the next greatest need in workforce development by bringing tailored educational solutions to corporate partners. Continuing education is a key tool employers are using to restore stability in their workforce and keep key staff members during this time of the “great resignation.”

UPSKILLING —or providing continuing education for workers to build new skills—is a simple, win-win concept: Businesses provide credentialed education and training to advance their workforce skill level and retain employees; employees build marketable skills that can lead to career and educational advancements.

Highmark Wholecare, formerly Gateway Health, a Pittsburgh-based health care provider network, made one such investment when they partnered with Carlow to create a customized business certificate program for their customer-service employees, most of whom did not have degrees. In only three months, faculty experts from Carlow’s nimble Center for 21st Century Innovation and Workforce Development designed the training and coursework.

New, Stackable Certificates

This new undergraduate business certificate offers flexible delivery methods and can be completed in less than a year. The best part: This certificate can be stacked with other certificates and courses toward a bachelor’s degree at Carlow. The first cohort of students started in November 2021 and graduated in summer 2022, with two students moving on to pursue their bachelor’s degrees this fall. Two additional cohorts of students currently are in progress, with a fourth starting in fall 2022.

A key element of the program is the full-service student success concierge who works with each student stepby-step to set up their account, order books, get their

student ID and access all Carlow student services, such as tutoring and other services. This no-frustration approach helps make the transition easier for students who may have been away from the classroom for a while.

The Highmark Wholecare certificate program has shown successes on multiple levels, according to Mollie Cecere, vice president of enrollment management and corporate partnerships, who says employees report feeling more valued by their company.

“When an organization’s leadership team is willing to invest in employee progress, that can go a long way in retention,” says Cecere. “In addition, students reported feeling a sense of collegiality and collaboration by learning alongside peers from other areas of the company—and that has fostered new connections across the organization.”

An unexpected offshoot of the program: Managers with bachelor’s degrees have been motivated to enroll at Carlow in graduate-level certificate courses in health care management and project management.

— MOLLIE CECERE

“ That’s another advantage of working with Carlow. We can quickly develop customized educational solutions to meet each organization’s needs— even as they change.”

DEAR DONORS, ALUMNI

FRIENDS OF CARLOW

for another year of proving—through your generous contributions—that you’ve put your trust and confidence in both Carlow University and our leadership. So far this year, we have seen an increase of 20 percent in our contribution volume. It continues to amaze us how our givers step up to the philanthropic plate year after year.

Despite continuing to grapple with the pandemic throughout 2022, Carlow has continued to move forward. Our future looks bright thanks to our repeat donors, whose long-term investment in Carlow each year is incredibly important. Not only does it sustain us and support our mission, but it ensures that Carlow will be here to serve future students.

It’s hard to quantify the many levels on which your support touches on our students. When you give to Carlow, you are providing opportunities, scholarships and other assistance to a unique group of students, most of whom would not otherwise be able to attend college. You’re also helping large numbers of first-generation college students to access higher education.

SUPPORT FROM ALUMNI

The gifts of our alumni donors serve to strengthen the value of their Carlow degrees by ensuring that our institution is strong for our students—who are at the heart of our work. Your support enables us to continue making a lasting impact on the lives of your fellow alums.

But the real power of your gift lies in its ability to change lives across generations. Because the ripple effect of one person’s education alters the trajectory of every generation following in their footsteps.

WHAT YOUR DOLLARS HAVE DONE

This year, donor funding primarily was used for scholarships, student emergency funding and programmatic support. The proceeds from our Home Sweet Home campaign were used to refresh dorm rooms and study spaces in residence halls to enrich the Carlow experience for students who live on-campus.

Going forward, our development goals continue to focus on growing our endowment to ensure our legacy; investing in educational programming to meet evolving and emerging student needs; recruiting and retaining top educators; investing in our on-campus capital; and providing a sustainable advantage for Carlow students, faculty and staff in perpetuity.

These goals are true to our Mercy heritage of being nimble in our quest to provide the best educational experience and preparation for our students as they go out to create a more just and merciful world.

My sincere hope is that our Carlow community of alumni, friends and leaders will continue to join us as we raise critical funding support for Carlow University.

Carlow graduates leave our school empowered and prepared to take on the next challenge by making a difference in their fields. Thank you for helping us give them the tools and settings that are geared toward helping them to succeed!

Cara Kassabov Vice President

Celebrating Generosity

With this list of donors, we celebrate the generosity of our alumni and friends. We gratefully acknowledge gifts received during the 2021-2022 fiscal year (July 1, 2021–June 30, 2022) to Carlow University, including the Campus Laboratory School of Carlow University. We hope you, our generous benefactors, take pride in supporting Carlow University. Your investments play a vital role in Carlow’s continued growth and success.

CALLAGHAN SOCIETY

William and Catherine Callaghan were Catherine McAuley’s adoptive parents who named her the sole heir of their Dublin estate in 1822, a gesture that sparked McAuley to start the Sisters of Mercy and inspire enormous good that would grow over two centuries. The members of Carlow University’s Callaghan Society give legacy commitments through their wills, trusts, or other estate gifts that sustain the vitality and development of the university and its Mercy-based mission from one generation to the next.

THE ENDOWMENT: A LASTING LEGACY

Alumni, friends of the University, and organizations have taken generous action over the years to establish permanently endowed funds through outright gifts, bequests, or other deferred gifts.Some have established named scholarships either in the donor’s own name, or in memory or honor of a loved one, favorite teacher, or mentor. Others have provided a permanent source of funding to ensure that a program will be supported for generations to come. These permanent endowed gifts ensure that a donor’s intentions and the university’s needs are supported in perpetuity.
