The C ampaign for Ursuline Act, Move, Believe
Dear Ursuline Family, “Act, move, believe, strive, hope, cry out to God with all your heart, for without doubt you will see marvelous things…” - St. Angela Merici, 1474-1540
Welcome to The Campaign for Ursuline: Act, Move, Believe. We are reaching out to you because you understand the vital importance of Ursuline Academy of Dallas. You recognize the meaningfulness of our mission: the total development of the individual student through spiritual formation, intellectual growth, service to others, and building of community. Secondary education has undergone more innovative change in the past five years than in my first thirty as a Catholic educator and administrator. At Ursuline we aspire for students to acquire a set of broadly applicable skills that they can apply flexibly to any challenge. We will accomplish this by exploring and implementing student-centered innovations in curriculum and instruction where each and every girl’s program is unique. We sincerely thank you for your past support and humbly ask for your help achieving this vision for our girls. The Act, Move, Believe campaign will provide comprehensive support that enhances all aspects of teaching and learning. This transformation will be achieved through the following:
These words, from the founder of the Ursuline order, echo down the centuries, motivating us to do all we can to make Ursuline Academy of Dallas a place capable of doing “marvelous things” for the generations of girls who will lead, inspire, and shape our tomorrows.
Capital Improvements New learning requires new spaces. We will build and renovate spaces that facilitate gathering, collaborating, teaming, and building competencies. Highlights include a 1000-seat auditorium, flexible academic spaces, and a beautiful new chapel. Programs and Operations Annual support for The Ursuline Fund and scholarships makes an immediate impact by enhancing the educational experience for today’s Ursuline students. Endowment Growth A strong endowment creates long-term financial stability, ensuring an all-girls Catholic education for generations to come. Scholarship endowments extend the benefits of the Ursuline experience to more young women. Act, Move, Believe! These words of exhortation from a 15th century woman powerfully remind us that we cannot stand still if we wish to serve the young women who will lead us through the 21st century and beyond. They tell us we must always act to improve our institution, must always be moving forward, and must always believe in a vision of a better future. We cannot do this without your generous help. Our transformation cannot happen without your participation. Please support The Campaign for Ursuline: Act, Move, Believe.
Yours in Christ,
G R E TC H E N Z. K A N E President, Ursuline Academy of Dallas
