A letter from the President Dear alumni and friends of Marylhurst, It is truly the season of thanksgiving here at Marylhurst! We are thankful for our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends. With the support of each and every one of you, we are able to carry out our foundresses’ mission and help our students achieve their educational goals. As I reflect upon my fifteen months at Marylhurst, I am proud that we have been able to increase engagement with our students, alumni and with those living in our surrounding communities. I have held quarterly meetings with students so that I can better understand their challenges; we have reached out to alumni here in Oregon and in California, Washington and Idaho; and we have improved our service to the community by creating stronger partnerships with civic and cultural organizations, offering our beautiful campus for events and getting our university community involved in supporting other important nonprofit organizations. I am also proud of the ways in which Marylhurst has given back. Marylhurst Music Therapy faculty and students traveled to Roseburg to help the Umpqua Community College community heal. We have fought breast cancer with two alumni leaders through Race for the Cure and Breast Friends. We continue to support veterans and community college students with special Marylhurst-funded scholarships. Our partners give back, too. Every month our food service, Bon Appétit, donates 60 sack lunches to be distributed to street people, as well as a hot lunch for 60 people at The Father’s Heart Street Ministry in Oregon City. As we head into 2016, I propose a toast, to you, our alumni, students and friends — our Marylhurst community. The work you do not only improves your own life, but also the lives of those around you. Your ideas, opinions and accomplishments are important to us, and we love to hear about them. So please, keep in touch! Happy holidays, and here’s to continued health, happiness and success in 2016. Warmly,
Melody Rose, Ph.D. President

She is the author of Global Crusoe: Comparative Literature, Postcolonial Theory and Transnational Aesthetics and the co-editor of two books, Rebels without a Cause?: Renegotiating the American 1950s and Communitybased Learning and the Work of Literature. She has published and lectured widely on topics in the humanities and literature. Her most recent publications include “Everybody Reads: Public Literature Programs” in the MLA volume Service Learning and Literature (2015) and a contribution to The Cambridge Companion to Robinson Crusoe (2016). Provost Fallon received her B.A. with High Honors in English from Swarthmore College, where she was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa society. She earned her Ph.D., also in English, from the University of Virginia. In her most recent role at the PSU University Honors College Fallon provided academic leadership and strategic planning, developed new
program offerings, collaborated with colleagues to reinvent the entire curriculum, created transfer pathways for local community colleges and nontraditional students, and transformed the college into a new performancebased budgeting model. These directed efforts led to a significant increase in enrollment from 100 students to almost 1,000 in four years. She also secured the largest single capital commitment to an academic unit at PSU: a $1 million lead gift from the Rose Tucker Trust that supported founding the University Honors College. Provost Fallon’s connection to the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary is longstanding and intergenerational. She once taught at Holy Names Academy in Seattle and her two maternal aunts are Marylhurst alumni. Her eldest daughter is a freshman at Saint Mary’s Academy.

The Art Gym turns 35 + WAGE! This fall marks The Art Gym’s 35th year as a venue exhibiting some of the most significant and timely art of this region. The university has been awarded an unprecedented $1 million challenge grant from the Eichholz foundation, to be completed by 2019, to endow the director and curator position’s increase to full-time in perpetuity. At this point $400,000 has been raised towards the match, through individual donations, programming and operating grants, and the recent The Collins Foundation grant of $125,000, to be distributed over two years. Matching funds from this grant will support strategic growth through a
five-year plan focused on sustainability of the gallery, standardization of wages for artists, increased catalogue production for artists, completion of renovation and new piloted programming. The plan also includes completion of capital needs, capacity building and enhanced programming. As part of this plan The Art Gym will be one of the Pacific Northwest’s first W.A.G.E. (Working Artists and the Greater Economy) voluntarilycertified organizations, implementing standardized wages for artists — including honorariums for exhibiting and support for art production. Also,
Dennis Cunningham, art faculty, was unanimously selected as the recipient of the 2015 Ray Trayle Print Prize, given annually to a “remarkable Northwest printmaker.” Cunningham was chosen for his skill as a block print artist as well as developing talented students who become noteworthy artists on their own, including the 2012 Ray Trayle Print Prize winner, Jonnel Covault.

IN THE NEWS Interior Design Turns 25! Marylhurst’s Interior Design program has joined the quarter century club in 2015. This outstanding program is still one of only two accredited Interior Design programs in Oregon. Its graduates have gone on to design, teach and inspire others. Students and alumni have been recognized with industry awards and publications, and most importantly, they are admired for their welldesigned spaces, allowing people to thrive in healthy, safe and inspiring environments.
Magdalena Pauna ’13, interior design alum, was selected to exhibit an image in The Interiors Collection, part of the annual Exposure Award Reception hosted by SeeMe, at the Louvre in Paris in July 2015. “This is one of the photos I took during my time at Marylhurst,” Pauna said. “The photo is a detail from my site documentation for the boiler building project in process studio 4 class.” In addition to being featured in a digital exhibition at the Exposure Award Reception at the Louvre on July 13, her photo was included in a hard cover print publication.
Oregon Book Awards Two faculty members in the English department, Emily Kendal Frey and Andrea Stolowitz, received Oregon Book Awards in April 2015. Winner of the Stafford/Hall Award for Poetry was Emily Kendel Frey for her collection of poetry, Sorrow Arrow (Octopus Books). Andrea Stolowitz’s Ithaka won the 2015 Angus L. Bowmer Award for Drama. The storyline follows a woman returning home from the war in Afghanistan. Her play, Stolowitz has said, is not so much about soldiers and war, but about friendship and what happens when those bonds are lost.
Pauna
Vieda Baker, M.Div. student, was recognized for 100 hours of volunteer service to the Portland Veterans Baker Administration Health Care System in June 2015. Baker first became a volunteer several years ago but had to stop due to family obligations. A friend asked her to join her once a week as Eucharistic Minister to the veterans. Baker then completed the process to be a fullfledged volunteer, earning her 100 hours gold pin. The experience has increased her desire toward ministry “ten-fold” she says. “The veterans, the administrators and teachers are knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the work they perform on a daily basis. My call has led me into this wonderful place of healing and learning.”

President Melody Rose’s First Year at Marylhurst By Kelly Ann Chee
As she marked her one year anniversary, Marylhurst President Melody Rose paid homage to the decades of academic achievement Marylhurst is known for. “We have been here for 122 years,” she said, “and we’ll be here for 122 more.” Inevitably with longevity comes the need for change; to stay current with the needs of students and society. In her first year, President Rose served as both president and provost (chief academic officer) while the university conducted a national search for a new provost. She has kept a keen eye on Oregon’s future educational needs, and how Marylhurst can best fill some of those needs. One key achievement for this first year was the hiring of Dr. Ann Marie Fallon, Marylhurst’s new provost and vice president for academic affairs. Since her arrival in August 2015, Fallon has started the process of revitalizing Marylhurst’s academic programs in partnership with Marylhurst’s faculty. Through this collaborative process, engaging any interested faculty members and other individuals within and outside the university, Fallon will develop a Master Academic Plan to ensure Marylhurst is offering programs to meet the needs of the community and providing a relevant education for our graduates. Along with the reestablishment of a strong academic foundation, President Rose sought to increase accessibility for our students through scholarships. These scholarships have allowed students not only to attend Marylhurst, but also to participate in once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Of particular note, Marylhurst alum and trustee Scott Bolton ’02 and his wife, Trudi, started a new scholarship fund
12 | marylhurst.edu
for veterans, and trustee Ed Vranizan and his wife Mary contributed a significant gift to the endowed undergraduate scholarship fund. Smaller fundraisers helped send Marylhurst Chamber Choir members to Carnegie Hall to perform in February 2015, and they have already started fundraising for a choir competition in Europe in 2016.
We have been here for 122 years and we’ll be here for 122 more. — President Melody Rose
Marylhurst has also seen a blossoming of campus use as we hosted more events, retreats, workshops, summer camps and concerts. More than 600 bookings were made by external organizations from July 2014-June 2015, with estimated attendance of over 35,000. “I hear people say we’re a ‘hidden gem’ in the region,” Rose said, “We no longer want to be hidden.” More community members and organizations are discovering the campus; nearly 3,000 attended the free Summer on the Green concerts and ArtBurst NorthWest. The university also provided learning opportunities for youth through our summer camps including Show:Tell, The Workshop for Teen Writers & Artists, Marylhurst Summer Choir Camp, Science Rocks! Marylhurst Summer Science Camp and our unique Creative Arts Day Camp for kids with special needs.

Clockwise, from top left: New Provost Ann Marie Fallon, Vice President for Finance & Campus Services Debra Meyers and President Melody Rose greet golfers at Golf Classic 2015; Marylhurst’s team supports the battle against breast cancer at Race for the Cure; Marylhurst’s increased partnerships include offering PCC art classes on campus for the community; campers and counselors soar at Creative Arts Day Camp 2015.
The university also completed several major projects, including renovation work on E. L. Wiegand Chapel and The Art Gym (refinished floors and moveable walls for exhibits) and putting the finishing touches on the Belluschi Pavilion and adjacent patio. The upkeep of these important spaces on campus, and especially the addition of the historic Belluschi Pavilion, ensure our community has adequate spaces for reflection, exhibitions, and educational and social events. President Rose also focused on meaningful partnerships. Marylhurst strengthened existing relationships with Mary’s Woods, Lake Oswego Rotary, the City of Lake Oswego, Lake Oswego Arts Council, Clackamas County and the American Association of University Women-Lake Oswego branch. We now offer Portland Community College art classes for the community on our campus. Other partnerships in the works with community colleges, particularly PCC and Clackamas Community College, aim to make the transfer process easier and more streamlined. This past year Marylhurst stepped up to support breast cancer awareness, education and research. “We are especially proud of two Marylhurst alumni who are leaders, making a difference in the lives of those touched by cancer,” Rose said. Margaret Klein, RN, MS, JD ’87, ’89 worked as the director of programs and operations at the Susan G. Komen Foundation of Oregon and SW Washington, and Becky Olson ’03 is the co-founder of the support organization Breast Friends. Olson is a three-time breast cancer survivor; her first diagnosis was made three months after she began at Marylhurst.
So in 2015, Marylhurst partnered with K103 to sponsor Race for the Cure for the first time, and a Marylhurst team participated in the run and walk. Marylhurst also sponsored Party for Pink, a fundraising event for Breast Friends, in October. As we celebrate these first-year accomplishments, we look forward to the future. These plans and engagement already underway will help Marylhurst continue to fulfill its mission of serving the underserved – in our early days, women, and today, non-traditional and degree completionoriented students – but more importantly, to ensure that our definition of the underserved is updated as necessary to meet present and future needs. The keystone of this success will be the Master Academic Plan. The planning process will involve various groups of constituents in a thorough analysis of the needs of the community as well Marylhurst’s niche within those needs. “This process will help us determine where we can make a difference and where our resources will make the greatest impact,” Rose said. In addition to revitalized degree programs, Rose anticipates the plan may include expanded non-degree curricular offerings, especially in summer. “We also expect it to include a broader focus on cultural competencies, ensuring our graduates are prepared to be effective in a global economy,” she added. They are already a focus in programs such as the M.A. in Teaching, she pointed out, providing a foundation to standardize cultural competency outcomes across the university curriculum. The Master Academic Plan is likely to shore up investment in the School of Business. A hire of a new

director is already underway; a strategic program review and the creation of a business advisory council to align school offerings with the needs of regional business and industries are likely next steps. Marylhurst has been recognized by the Portland Business Journal as Oregon’s largest MBA program since 2009. “We have a responsibility to provide a rigorous, well-founded, values-based education so our graduates can succeed in a variety of business pathways,” Rose said. Working in tandem with community colleges, another key aspect of the Master Academic Plan, will help to lower students’ total cost and time to complete their degree. It will also help the State of Oregon reach its 40-40-20 goal (40 percent of Oregonians earning a bachelor’s degree, 40 percent a community college degree, and the remaining 20 percent at least a high school degree). The first step in this process will be shifting Marylhurst curriculum from a three-credit system to a four-credit system. This is a major undertaking, but worthwhile, in that it will ensure a logistical transition, reducing the number of credits that too often get lost in the transfer from one institution to the next. With an increase of students from community colleges, Marylhurst will also be focused on bolstering scholarship funding. Financial barriers are one of the greatest obstacles for students, and scholarships play a large role in overcoming them. Marylhurst was pleased to provide $830,000 in endowed scholarships and $230,000 in annual scholarships to students for the 2014-2015 school year. In the coming years, the university is focused on raising even more scholarship dollars. Plans include finding a grant donor to match dollars donated for student scholarships, doubling the impact of a donor’s

gift and helping remove or lessen the financial barriers for Marylhurst students. There will also be an ongoing focus on fulfilling the $1 million challenge portion of the $1.25 million grant from the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation. Thus far, nearly $400,000 has been raised. As Marylhurst’s largest grant to date, the funds will endow the director and curator position for The Art Gym and Belluschi Pavilion. Funds raised for the match will also allow The Art Gym to grow strategically, deepening the impact it has in cultivating and documenting the contemporary art of the region. Finally, President Rose plans to continue to grow the use of campus and continue to reach out to new and existing partners for events on campus. Not only will this fulfill our goals of serving the community as a valuable educational and cultural resource, but will also increase Marylhurst’s reach in the community. This outreach will be done purposefully in ways that align with Marylhurst’s mission and values, and create strong mutually-beneficial partnerships. “We predict external event bookings will grow by 12 percent in the coming year,” Rose said. “On the long-term, we aspire to transform our library into a living, learning lab for the 21st century,” she added. Other capital projects up for consideration include re-opening a dormitory – though only if our surveyed students indicate that on-campus housing is a need. With President Rose’s energy and fortitude, and the strength and support of the Marylhurst community, it is no surprise that many challenges were overcome and many goals were accomplished in her first year. The entire community celebrates her first year and looks forward to future success and positive growth in years to come.

ALUMNI IN FOCUS Ronald Schoenheit ‘07 By Kelly Ann Chee
S
o often, when one thinks of running a business, one thinks of profit. But Ronald Schoenheit ’07 is also passionately focused on his product and on his clients. This business is a long-term family enterprise; his grandfather emigrated from Germany and started Pacific Fence & Wire Co. and the company is still in business today. A young Schoenheit began working in the shop at 15 years old and became the first in his family to earn a college degree in math and engineering at Oregon State University. Not one to shy away from adventure and expand his horizons, he was also the first in his family to work outside of the family business. He began his career in rail car engineering at Gunderson Brothers in Portland and moved up to assistant plant engineer, managing projects such as a new side launch ways for oil barge construction. He broadened his experience at Vought Aeronautics in Texas as a facilities engineer. After his stint in Texas he returned to Oregon to work for Pacific Fence & Wire Co. As the company grew over the years, the demand for the fireplace and architectural lines grew. While many in the family weren’t willing to take the risk to expand these lines, Schoenheit and his father saw the potential of these products and the interest and unique
18 | marylhurst.edu
ideas of their clients. The company was split, and Schoenheit eventually started Cascade Coil Drapery, Inc. from the ground up in 1987. He realized how much his company had grown in just three years when one night Schoenheit received a call at three a.m. from a client who was interested in utilizing the material as a set element for a band. The call had come from England, and the band was The Rolling Stones. Today Cascade Coil is still innovating around the world. From security to the arts and architecture, their products provide function and form for their clients, as well as economic opportunities for Oregon. The company works with many clients overseas, yet production is kept entirely in Oregon. Their products offer a range of uses from security barriers, blast mitigation curtains, zoological exhibits, fireplace screens, architectural backdrops, sculptural elements and even shower curtains. They have graced zoos, hotels, restaurants, performance halls and more across the nation and around the globe. More recent innovations include utilizing the material to create waterscapes and light shows. It was Schoenheight’s long-standing business acumen and that eventually led him to Marylhurst. The business program was looking for business speakers for undergraduate classes

who could give lectures on difficult lessons learned in business, and with his various experiences and success in overcoming business challenges, he fit the bill. He spoke for several classes and enjoyed the experience so much he wanted to explore teaching. He realized he would need a master’s degree to seriously pursue that, so enrolled in Marylhurst’s MBA program. He appreciated the “everybody’s learning” environment, that the instructors have real life experience in their fields and that most of his classmates already had some managerial experience. He says the program “brought [him] up to date,” especially with technological advances and internet capabilities and protocol. He even gained a colleague when an adjunct faculty member at Marylhurst became a vice president at Cascade Coil. He earned his degree in 2007 at the age of 65 and proceeded to teach one graduate business class a term about managing businesses in an international environment. During that time, his business continued to flourish, expanding 40% from 2007-2009. The recession brought Schoenheit back to focus solely on his company, and his focus has paid off as Cascade Coil continues to maintain a strong foundation and grow in new ways. Although he was back to being ‘all in’ with Cascade Coil, he had another proud Marylhurst moment when his son
Today Cascade Coil is still innovating around the world. From security to the arts and architecture, their products provide function and form for their clients, as well as economic opportunities for Oregon.
Andrew Shoenheit, who serves as the vice president of sales for Cascade Coil, graduated in 2011. If all that wasn’t enough, Schoenheit also serves as the current president of the Northwest Trade Adjustment Assistance Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping U.S. companies grow and prosper in a globalized economy. He has served on this board for 21 years. Schoenheit also serves on the Board of Advisors for the Science Department and Oregon State University. In his spare time, Schoenheit is out training for his next half marathon (he has run in the Boston Marathon twice). Whether he’s finding new ways to utilize coiled wire, inspiring the next generation of business leaders, or training for his next race, we know that he will bring his enthusiasm, passion and experience to the table, expanding the horizons of those around him.
