A Letter From the President
Dear Friends, One thing that is true about beginnings is that they provide the opportunity for us to stretch our thinking, to go beyond the present, and to imagine and create the future. Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year! This year is the time of self–study and planning for accreditation by the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools and the Middle States Association. We have begun this course of action with days of strategic planning using a model of collaboration and inclusivity called Appreciative Inquiry. In the pages that follow you will read about the dynamic engagement of our board of directors, faculty, administration, staff, parents, alumnae, past parents and students in what has become known as, “Designing our Future: Mount 2028. I am in awe of the creativity, commitment, and belief in our mission that permeates this Mount community; these can only provide the spirit we need to complete this work. While our study promises to be intense, I have no doubt that the Mount will benefit with an even deeper pride in our mission and in the opportunities we offer to help our young women design their futures. We are a great school that can only become better! Please remember us in your prayers and thoughts as we move forward in anticipation of an accreditation visit in the fall of 2012. Quality science education has always been important at the Mount. Some of our alumnae have offered to share where their love for science has taken them. One priority that is on the immediate horizon of the board of directors centers on the need to bring our science wing into the 21st Century. In the past 10 years there has been an explosion of interest in engineering, due in large part to our robotics program. We ask you to join our efforts to help our students experience the best in science education and to have the labs and equipment as good as or even better than the boys have! For now, enjoy the read. This past September marked the 10th Anniversary of 9/11. It was particularly moving to be a part of the prayer for peace, and to remember the many who lost their lives. Our students and faculty flanked the halls as a procession passed by bearing the cross, drum, and flag. We also thought it appropriate to honor this anniversary with two memorial essays written by our alums, Kat Hinkel ’02, a student in September 2001, and, June Smith ’66 a flight attendant, who, though not flying that fateful day, lost co-workers and friends. This edition also contains the Annual Report of all who contributed to the Mount during the 2010-2011 fiscal year. Our success depends on you who believe in us and continue to keep the Mount high on your list of philanthropy. Thank you! We cannot do it without you. I am indebted to our alumnae who have graciously offered to write about what they do to make a difference in the lives of people, to share their hearts about life choices, and to broaden our world-view. This is a very full edition, one that will appeal to many across the alumnae and current Mount spectrum. As you read, keep in mind how our belief in the spirit of our early founders resides in each of our hearts. Let us continue to inspire each other to greatness. Blessings,
Sister Kathleen Brabson, SSJ President

Mount Saint Joseph Academy Founders’ Day Reflection By Kathleen Tully ’12
SJ
esus voices His desire in the gospel of John, “May they all be one as we are one.” Like the lace made by the women of Le Puy, France, the Mount community is woven together by the delicate yet powerful charism we all hold within us. It is our mission to cross over and under like pieces of thread to make connections with each other, for we are called to “Look to God, and to Reach out to others.” Throughout my time at the Mount, teachers, students, and friends have repeatedly asked me why I chose to attend school here. With Mount over thirty minutes away from home, it is definitely not the closest school for me. Even though there are three all-girls schools closer to my home, something touched me when I visited here. Our school does have great academics, sports, and facilities; however it was “something else” that stood out to me, something I could not identify at first as an eighth grader looking in. I felt something intangible as I walked the hallways when I shadowed here. Unlike when I visited other schools, the girls at Mount took moments out of their day to get to know me, even as a guest. I felt a sense that I was being welcomed into a new home.
However, it wasn’t until my arrival at Mount my freshman year that I could clearly name why I came. Freshman year was the 150th Anniversary of our school with the theme focusing on our history, our charism, and our mission. This is when I first heard the song, “Legacy.” I was excited and connected to this theme, because it was my call to action; I was invited to join in the legacy of the Mount. The opening reflections all posed several questions: how will you live the mission, what will your legacy be? The question made me wonder, how would I make a difference, how would I be remembered? How would I live out this charism of unity in my life? More importantly, I wondered what is this charism and mission that I was to live? My confusion during Freshman year was broken when a senior, Jackie Nucero ’09, reached out and asked me to join CSC. When she drove me and a few others downtown to serve for the first time, she noticed our nervousness and calmed me by telling me how tutoring at the school affected her. She made an
2
intent decision to reach out to me, a freshman: to include me, to welcome me into the community. I then felt less intimidated by everyone around me because I felt as if I were a special entity, a part of something bigger than myself. Jackie, to me, lived out the meaning of our charism. She showed me how inclusion and the ability to welcome another into the circle was within me – was within all of us. When I went on the CSSJ conference sophomore year, I had the chance to meet with girls from Sisters of Saint Joseph schools from all over the country. In each one of them, I witnessed the same intangible spirit I see here at the Mount. Look around. Does everyone around you look alike, live in the same neighborhood, or do all the same clubs? I am sure most responses to this question would be no. Here, at the Mount, there is no typical student, but rather a collection of unique young women who are part of a supportive and compassionate community. Though we all call each other and ourselves “Mounties” what do we all have in common besides going to the Mount? What exactly has brought all of us together to share these moments of unity? I believe it is the spirit of this charism and mission that resides in each one of us. As I was invited Freshmen year, I invite you to live out the mission of the Mount: How will you live the charism and mission, how will you reach out to others? Whether you stop a rumor about a classmate, invite someone you do not know well to sit with you, tutor a child, or serve someone their dinner at the Inn, the Mount mission shines through you. For all the upper classes, I encourage all of us to continue to show what it means to live the charism by providing a supportive community. As we all look to God and reach out to others in small ways, we work to bring about the mission in this moment and time in history. Now, as a senior and a member of the one hundred fifty- third class, I have deepened my sense of feeling at home in this community. I know what the legacy is – and I know when I am living the charism and the mission. As Jesus prays in the book of John, “may they all be one as we are one,” I pray that we continue to weave together the strands of our giftedness to offer in this community and the world.

GirlPOWER!! Preparing Outstanding Women Engineers through Robotics
The Firebirds Host Second-Annual All-Girl Robotics Competition!
OO
nce again, the Firebirds Robotics Team hosted their Second Annual all-female robotics competition, GirlPOWER (Preparing Outstanding Women Engineers through Robotics) on Saturday, October 8, 2011. Sponsored by FIRST Robotics and Drexel University College of Engineering, it is the only event of its kind, designed to generate interest and enthusiasm among women for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). To achieve this objective, this fun and educational event, held in the Mount Saint Joseph Academy gym, featured all-female drive teams for the robots— from more than 15 high school robotics teams across the East Coast. Spectators got to see the teams’ 150-lb robots, programmed and driven by the girls, perform amazing feats, and clash in the arena. Congratulations to the alliance of three teams who won the event: The Vulcans (Chestnut Hill Academy & Springside School), Moe (a team comprised of 16 high schools in Delaware), and Bishop McDevitt.
4
In all, the Mount hosted 559 people who attended the event that included students from every age group from across the Delaware Valley including a significant attendance by Philadelphia’s La Salle Academy. This represents a 60% growth over the 344 people who attended last year’s initial GirlPOWER event. Fifteen robots competed in the gym, highlighted by spirited speeches from female leaders, including Keynote Speaker, Dr.
Rashmi Kumar – Teacher, Educator and Researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, who spoke on “Exploratory and Explanatory Learning--What’s in it for you?”; Liz Plowman, PhD candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Drexel University; Carol Kauffman, retired Philadelphia Regional Director of FIRST, and Patricia DePra, Pittsburgh Regional Director of FIRST. In addition, the Firebirds hosted four hands-on workshops for young students that packed the Fontbonne Lounge throughout the day. The children delighted in the opportunity to touch, handle, and even drive the robots as they learned more about them, the robotics program, and engineering in general. Members of Drexel’s College of Engineering were on hand to assist the Firebirds in working with the children in order to make their own mini “Bristle Bots,” which were fashioned out of toothbrush bristles, a mini-motor, and a AA battery, and robots. Students were also able to learn about ham radio operations. Most of The Firebirds’ 89 team members worked at the event to provide a funfilled day, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Four Firebirds alumnae, currently in college, returned to mentor and assist. In addition, there were many parent, mentor and student heroes who prepared months in advance and executed flawlessly. Special thanks go to Annemarie Ellman ’12, Firebirds President, who worked tirelessly to coordinate the job responsibilities of the Firebirds, and led them in a way that encouraged impressive teamwork.

Breast Cancer Marathon Proceeds to Benefit the Stephanie Leonards Roman Scholarship By Colleen Tygh ’12 Reprinted from The Campanile Mount’s annual Breast Cancer Marathon took place on Saturday, October 1st. Lots of Mounties showed up to show their support for finding a cure! Everyone enjoyed the free food, games, and the run/walk. Mrs. Roman, a previous science teacher at the Mount who passed away a few years ago from breast cancer, has three kids who attended the marathon with their grandparents and uncle. The kids, Mikey, Katie, and Sammy, all had a blast during the water balloon toss and multiple games of capture-the-flag. Mrs. Tina Naydan, mother of our own Mr. Naydan and last year’s graduate Mary Naydan, presented a moving speech about her three-time battle with breast cancer. Proceeds from the Marathon and t-shirt sale, plus many generous donations from Mounties, totalled over $3,000; thus Student Council will be able to donate to the Stephanie Leonards Roman Memorial Scholarship again this year.

he Students at Mount Saint Joseph Academy commemorated the Tenth Anniversary of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks on Friday, September 9, 2011.
The students participated in a moment of silence led by MSJA principal, Dr. Judith A. Caviston, at 8:46 am, the time when Flight 11 hit the North Tower, and at 9:02 am when Flight 175 hit the South Tower in remembrance of all those who lost their lives. Then, during homeroom, there was a moment of silence for all those who lost their lives at the Pentagon. A beautiful prayer was read over the PA system by two students Alexa Carboni ’12 and Mary Ricchezza ’12. The names of those who lost their lives from Firehouse Engine 24, Ladder 5, were read. (This is the Firehouse that the Mount adopted in 2001.) Following the opening prayer and readings, all homerooms had one student come forward to light a candle at the front of their classrooms. The student with the candle then led the rest of the students from their homeroom out into the hallway, where the students lined the halls as they watched the procession honoring those whose lives were lost on 9/11.

Tenth Anniversary of 9-11 Remembrance
The entire Mount Community maintained a somber silence as they watched their fellow students carry a candle and a cross, followed by another student holding the American flag. They moved through the hallways to the mournful sound of a single drumbeat. Once the cross, candle, and American flag returned to their starting point, another moment of silence remembered those lives lost at 10:03 traveling on Flight 93 that went down in Shanksville, PA, in Somerset County. PA. To close the remembrance, Jess Riloff ’12, and Catherine Purcell ’12 sang “America the Beautiful,” which was then followed by a closing prayer. In the procession photo (front to back of line) Colleen Tygh ‘12 leads the procession carrying a candle, followed by Jackie Peifer ‘12 who carried the memorial book of the Firefighters from Firehouse Engine 24, Ladder 5, who lost their lives; Olivia Scanlon ‘12 who carried the Cross; Brittany McDermott ‘12 who carried and held the drum, beating as a single heartbeat; and Major John Turner, MSJA History teacher, holding the American flag.

A Day Like No Other ... 9/11 Ten Years Later: Reflection By Katherine Hinkel ’02
LL
ike everyone else, I remember where I was on September 11, 2001, when I heard about the Twin Towers: homeroom, senior year, at the Mount. I remember the look of horror on each person’s face, the solemn way Sr. Mary Dacey and Sr. Karen announced the news to the school over the PA system, and the hugs exchanged between friends and classmates. Who could forget? Ten years later, at age 27, I try to remember what I was thinking at age 17. The biggest problem is the way emotion clouds memory, distilling time into individual images and impressions. The towers smoking. Widespread candlelight vigils. A little girl waving the American flag. A collective sense of shock, then sadness, then confusion, and ultimately, hope. I count myself lucky to have been part of the Mount community at that time. At the Mount, good people-supportive teachers and inspiring women-- surrounded me, all of whom wanted to do something constructive to show our love for the people who died and our support for the first responders. I am sure my fellow Mounties of the class of 2002 remember how we came together in the aftermath of this tragedy. My strongest memories

In Memory of the victims of 9-11-01 What started as a day like any other So quickly went down in history As a day when hearts were broken By an unthinkable tragedy For all the lives that had to change In just a moment’s time For all the people facing pain We have to keep in mind That just a few choices brought this on What’s fighting back is the love of millions There’s nothing else that strong We’re trying for courage As we face this confusion And knowing we have to unite And always in all things Respond with compassion Above all keep the memory alive What began as a morning like any other So soon was pierced by fear People reaching for their loved ones Only wanting to know they are near For all the lives that ended too fast In just a moment’s time For all the people who have passed We have to keep in mind That the weakness of hatred brought this on What’s fighting back is the love of millions There’s nothing else that strong Our prayers go out To the people Who were touched by this disaster Pray for Peace Pray for Peace Pray for Peace
of the days, weeks, and months following 9/11 are ones of positive action. With the encouragement of our teachers and administrators, we as students were empowered to react and cope in our own ways. And, like after any tragedy, taking action helped to mitigate the negative emotions. The school adopted a firehouse in New York (Firehouse Engine 24, Ladder 5), forging a relationship that extended throughout the school year and included fundraising, visits, and correspondence. I wrote a song and performed it at a liturgy we held that week. Our teachers and administrators, themselves dealing with personal reactions, courageously listened to our fears and helped us to combat our grief. Just as our country’s powerful reaction to 9/11 defined the United States, the school’s reaction to 9/11 defined the Mount. We were young, perhaps, but together we made an impact. Individual actions added up to create an outpouring of support, and that lesson has stuck with me throughout the decade since. We promised then never to forget the tragedy born of prejudice, but I hope that now we also remember the triumphs born of compassion.

September 11, 2001, found me in Las Vegas on a layover. I was flying for Delta by then and had picked up a very easy domestic trip for the 36-hour Vegas layover. I woke up, turned on the TV and, while brushing my teeth, heard something about the World Trade Center. I glanced in the mirror to see on TV a building on fire and copious amounts of thick, black smoke billowing into the sky--a real life towering inferno. What was going on? What a nightmare for firefighters and how terrifying for everyone in the building, but it was to be much worse Most of my classmates were than that.

Mount 2028 Designing Our Future by Margaret Toth with contributions by KellyAnn Cilio and Jessica Karpuk ’00
SS
chool year 2011-2012 started this September much as usual with a busy opening schedule: orientations, Back to School Night, and Freshman Tea all within the opening 12 days. Though the schedule was familiar, there was something decidedly different in the air. This year, the preparation for reaccreditation has begun. One step of the self-study process includes creating a clear vision for the school. For the Mount community, that means taking a hard look at where we are today and dreaming of where we want to go in the future. In April 2011, a team of four Internal Coordinators was chosen to lead the school through the accreditation process. Kellyann Cilio, science teacher, and Margaret Toth, Business and Computers Department Chair, were assigned administrative and strategic planning, while Mimi Bender, Foreign Languages Department Chair, and Madeleine Harkins, Social Studies Department Chair, were chosen to work with academics and curriculum. All four members met with Mount’s President, S. Kathleen Brabson, SSJ, and Principal, Dr. Judith Caviston to chart the course. S. Kathleen suggested that the process be conducted through the lens of “Appreciative Inquiry,” a model of analysis that focuses on developing a strategic future based on the positive values and foundation of the past and present. Dr. Caviston suggested the team consider the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools (PAIS) model of re-accreditation because of its focus
10
on independent schools and their futures. Accreditation by PAIS is recognized by the Middle States Association used by the Mount in the past while offering additional benefits. Putting the Mount among peers which face similar challenges and opportunities allows the school to utilize shared learning while also being evaluated by a group which understands the unique position of an independent school in the 21st Century. The Internal Coordinators consulted Ray Wells, a local expert on the Appreciative Inquiry method, and discussed how to address the present-day Mount accreditation process with an eye for the future of the whole Mount community. It soon became apparent that in order to plan for the future Mount community, today’s whole Mount community must be involved. A Strategic Summit, it was decided, would be held on September 16 and 17, where the team could gather the best ideas from members of the Mount’s various stakeholders and use them to build a strategic plan. However, much groundwork needed to be done before that weekend! So, on June 8, led by Ray Wells, the staff and faculty had an inservice on the Appreciative Inquiry method. Ray explained the four components: Discover, Dream, Design, and Deliver. Staff and faculty spent the session Discovering the core strengths of the Mount, sharing their own peak experiences to date, and dreaming about what they would want if there were a “magic wand” that could grant Mount wishes. Not surprisingly,
Happenings Mount 2028
and with a largely unified voice, the core strengths that were identified included the mission/charism, a sense of community, and the Mount’s stakeholders. Some peak experiences cited by staff and faculty included Melanie McLeod, Business Teacher and Forensics Club Moderator, feeling pleased that the forensics team grew so quickly and was winning awards after only three years. Janet Columbro, Athletic Director, cited her pride at the girls winning championships and the spirit it brings to the school. The “magic wand” items were diverse, but a few had strong support, including a science center, more money for the school and financial aid, and more service learning, field trips and travel.
In order to address the challenges, the Design Team hoped to spotlight three essential questions overarching through each of the themes:
So the groundwork was laid.
Armed with this framework, the Internal Coordinators planned a full in-service day for August 31, to challenge the staff and faculty to build on the work of June 8th and “Dream” about what is right with the Mount today and what they envision for Mount 2028. Ray and Kirk reminded faculty and staff of all that was accomplished on June 8th and asked them to continue working on the Appreciative Inquiry model for the proposed strategic planning. This time, the attendees wrote about “what one thing stands out as a legacy left on young women who choose the Mount.” The groups shared their stories at their tables and, then using the stories as a basis, answered, “What are we most proud of at the Mount? How does that reflect our greatest strengths?” The goal of these exercises was to find the Mount’s positive core, which makes the school better and upon which its future should be built, no matter the changes that lie ahead. The faculty and staff identified many positive values at the Mount, including pioneering a sense of social activism, helping students develop their voices, and building student character.
Next, the Internal Coordinators were tasked with creating a Summit Design team. They invited Theresa Moyer, Director of Alumnae; Maggie Doyle, Director of Finance; Jill Gregori, Director of Development; Eileen Wilkinson, Dean of Studies; Peg Green, Dean of Students; and Sheila Kropp McLaughlin, ’84, current parent, to join them in designing the September Summit. The team reviewed the faculty and staff work completed on June 8, and then under the leadership of Ray Wells and his colleague, Kirk Walters, met throughout July, participated in Appreciative Inquiry activities, and created an agenda that would produce great ideas and processes that would allow for strategic planning. The team also had to come up with a motto or theme for the project. Designing Our Future: Mount 2028 was perfect. It was short, clear, and consistent with our mission. The team’s thought was that a baby girl born “right now” could be a senior at the Mount in 2028! We even had two examples among our own faculty: Señora Melissa Gnall-Harrison gave birth to Sofia Valencia March 22nd, and Madame Carole Deshagette gave birth to Cassandre Line on October 4th. These are the students of the future which the group had identified! The Appreciative Inquiry activities also led us to four themes that needed to be advanced through the strategic planning process: Advancing the Mission; Advancing Our Competitive Edge; Advancing Social, Economic, and Academic Diversity; and Advancing the Financial Health and Sustainability. Mission – The Mount, as a sponsored work of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, whose mission is unity and reconciliation, recognizes that on the education of women largely depends the future of society. Competitive Edge – As we continue to progress toward 2028, we want to continue to be the first choice of young women entering high school. Social, Economic, and Academic Diversity – As the world is getting smaller, we need to promote the diversity of our student body, their global interests, and their skills. Financial Health - The advancement of our mission depends on good stewardship and financial sustainability.
1. As we live our mission, what is our most compelling aspiration for 2028? What strategic initiatives (projects, programs, and processes) would support our aspirations? 2. What are the opportunities on which we should focus our efforts as we prepare for 2028? 3. How can we distinctly differentiate ourselves from other schools?
To build on these strengths, the faculty and staff split into twelve groups in which they were asked to discuss opportunities and shared aspirations for an essential question under the one of the four themes. For example, one group listed ideas for Advancing Our Mission: What are the opportunities on which we should focus our efforts as we prepare for 2028? The groups each listed their ideas on twelve individual flipcharts, representing each question within each theme. By the end of this meeting, many positive core values and ideas for the future were in writing to bring forward to the Summit to be held three weeks later. On September 16-17, the Summit “Designing Our Future: Mount 2028” was held in the gym. Invited to the Summit were a sampling of stakeholders from our Board of Directors, alumnae, parents past and present, community members, faculty, staff and students. Approximately 80 stakeholders were able to attend the event. The goal was for every voice to be heard. The Discovering and the Dreaming had been completed by faculty and staff, the flipcharts full of their ideas hung around the gym, and the graphic from the August 31st meeting with post-it notes still attached was prominently displayed. The Summit got down to the business of Designing Our Future.

Ray introduced the Appreciative Inquiry model and then led a discussion about celebrating what is right with the world and what is right with the Mount. The participants then completed a gallery walk of the flipcharts to see all of the work that had been done before with staff and faculty standing nearby to answer questions. Once participants had been immersed in the work of the previous meetings, they were asked to consider how much could change in 17 years by remembering the world and the Mount as it was in 1994. Memories included mimeograph machines, an effort by the Mount administration to designate certain staircases as up or down only, the planning for what is still called the “New Wing” today, not to mention bulky “car phones” that could only be used in cars. With that fresh recognition of the changes 17 years can bring, the participants at the tables imagined the Mount in 2028 and discussed, as if looking back from then, how the school has advanced its mission, its competitive edge, its social, economic and academic diversity, and its financial health. Then together at their tables, the attendees designed a graphic that represented what the Mount would be in 2028 according to their combined visions. The evening ended with the groups hanging their graphics on the bleachers. The next day, representatives of each group shared their graphics with the whole group (see samples at right). Notably, many of the graphics of the Mount in 2028 included a globe cradled in hands. Everyone seemed surprised to realize that the attendees already shared a vision of what they wanted for Mount 2028. Energized by the sharing and still focused on 2028, the table groups came up with five bold aspirations for the Mount in 2028. Again, the symmetry of the groups’ thinking was evident as the top five ideas of each of the nine tables could be categorized into 11 themes. Attendees then divided themselves, and these became the new groups. Of the 11 themes, two were absorbed by other groups. Within these new groups, participants were asked to develop aspiration statements – expansive statements of what the group, as if looking back from 2028, wanted the Mount to have accomplished since 2011. Using the ideas imagined in the previous groups and brought together in these themes, each group drafted an aspiration statement which they presented to the whole group. All of the attendees were given post-it notes and the opportunity to walk around to each of the aspiration statements and leave feedback for the group. One member of each group also stood by the group’s aspiration statement in order to field questions or discuss ideas with individuals from other groups. The groups then returned to work and each refined their drafts into final aspiration statements using the feedback from the other attendees. The nine groups then discussed specific projects and initiatives – ideas the school should start, expand, take greater advantage of, or end. Looking at these ideas, each group completed a chart with the following questions: What do we “sow?” Which projects or services or initiatives do we start? What do we “grow?” What will we expand with the appropriate application of resources?
12
What do we “harvest?” What initiatives are already in place that will yield without a lot of investment of resources)? What do we “plow?” Which projects or services or initiatives do we discontinue? The groups also identified circumstances already in place that might support or challenge the development of these ideas. As one might imagine, some lively discussions ensued! As they were recording their ideas on laptops, each group also filled in a large poster with their aspiration statement and one idea for each of the sow-grow-harvest-plow categories and posted the charts around the room. The groups presented their ideas to the larger community and then participants were given four stickers, and in one last gallery walk, they were asked to vote for their top four ideas in any category out of all 36 displayed. Realizing that sometimes the best ideas are not always the ones with the most votes, following is a summary of all of the ideas from the charts: Sow: Which projects or services or initiatives do we start? • Faith-based advisory groups • Networking program based on affinity groups • C onnect virtual communities to our traditions • Summer enrichment/academic programs from across the metropolitan area inclusive of grade school girls who otherwise may not have the opportunity to attend the Mount • The Office of Institutional Advancement which includes Development, Admissions, and Marketing • Have student/faculty input with ideas for expansion including: student lounge/ cafeteria and areas they use •C onnection with SSJ satellite classroom to create interactive, visual interdisciplinary curriculum
• One-on-one advising and support • Develop a program to dramatically increase the number of “feet on the street,” involving faculty, administration, parents, and students in cultivating corporate relationships
Grow: What will we expand with the appropriate application of resources? • Curriculum — MSJA curriculum is aligned with Catholic teaching and integrates SSJ history, charism, tradition, and values • Internship program which includes current students • Move Freshman Tea to Chestnut Hill College, which will include background information on SSJ for not only students but parents also. • Mount students tutor/mentor in grade schools throughout the metropolitan area • Alumnae and stakeholder group relationships and mutually beneficial partnerships • Growing the physical facilities • Expand service projects on a global level • A capstone project during senior year that integrates the mission with the curriculum. • Expand outreach to a greater number and variety of local schools to cultivate new “feeder” schools and establish partnerships with new colleges.
Harvest: Getting a yield without a lot of investment of resources • Students are educated in the response of the Church and the SSJ social issues and the signs of the times. • Alumnae role model of giving time, talent, and treasure, with emphasis on how Mount influenced their life. • Introduce mother / daughter and grandparent/ granddaughter traditions • PR in our literature and website reflecting the current diversity • $500 million endowment • Enhanced integrated educational experience • Multi-lingual, multicultural graduates who are citizens of the world • Online learning resources • Welcome government and non-profit groups into school as educational speakers, career mentors for our students, and providers of internship opportunities. Plow: Which projects or services or initiatives do we discontinue? • The hesitancy to incorporate spirituality, prayer, and prayer life into all aspects of school life • Lessening of event-oriented development rather than individual alumnae-centric relationships. • Father/Daughter Dance • Development office, Admission office, and Convent • Garage and Convent building • Traditional, static classroom experience.
• Mind-set that we are restricted to the traditional academic calendar with daytime hours With the vote completed and a closing prayer, the Summit Designing Our Future: Mount 2028 concluded, leaving attendees generally optimistic and reflective about the future ahead. So, the question is: What happens now? The information generated at the Summit is being culled and distributed. The ideas pertinent to the administrative team are being passed to them, while ideas that require long-term planning are being sent to the Board of Directors for consideration in their Strategic Plan. It will be their job to complete the cycle of Appreciative Inquiry and Design a plan for the future that ensures that the Mount will be the choice of young women for generations to come – a plan that will support the Mission, provide a Competitive Edge, incorporate Social, Economic and Academic Diversity, and improve our Financial Health. A summary report has been written for the archives, and there is even talk of creating a time capsule to bury in the Spring. During this process, a few of us realized 2028 is our official retirement year! Some of us, however, expect to be around to make sure the dreams become reality.
Reflection on 9/11 (continued from page 9)
in long lines in department stores waiting to replace items in lost luggage. Churches were filled to capacity; masses at the Las Vegas Cathedral were added to accommodate the standingroom-only crowds. Random acts of kindness to total strangers and courtesy to fellow human beings was the order of the day and not just in Vegas. Americans were pulling together for the good of all as they had not done since WWII. How sad that this was not to last. Ten years have come and gone since that perfect but ultimately dreadful early fall morning. Much has changed in the U.S., for better or for worse depends on one’s points of view. Flying used to be fun, but it no longer is. Is civil aviation safer? In some ways yes, in other ways, the answer is no. An incident like 9/11 will probably happen again at some point, not necessarily to the aviation industry, however, since there are many “softer” targets. Still we cannot allow our lives to be lived in fear and mistrust. There are many lasting lessons to be learned from 9/11. Life is fragile and we should never take loved ones for granted. Nothing is ever guaranteed. It is imperative to live our lives to the fullest every day and to tell people who are important to us what they mean in our lives. We should know this already but we forget, often. It seems we often forget the Golden Rule as well.
The terrorists succeeded on 9/11 but only to a point. They did not destroy our spirit then, nor can any outside agent do that, but we can do it to ourselves. The vitriol seen recently in D.C. and elsewhere cannot be allowed to continue. We no longer pull together for the welfare of all Americans. We have allowed a hardening of attitudes not only in our politicians but also in how we treat one another. Courtesy seems to be a thing of the past. If the terrorists’ aim was to change the American way of life, then they may indeed have succeeded. The Founding Fathers envisioned a land of liberty and justice. Compromise, history teaches, is one of the things that made the American Experiment unique and ultimately great. Have we allowed that to be lost? Do we really believe it is OK to blame an entire religious tradition because of a few fanatics? Do we really believe it is OK for America to torture or to allow civil liberties to be compromised? When did government become a four letter word? We must never forget the lives of those lost 10 years ago or the sacrifices of countless service men and women who served, bled and died for our freedoms. We do not honor them if we allow America the Beautiful to become America the Ordinary.

Focus :
Alumnae in the
Sciences Maureen K. Cahill ’70 Research Biologist, Chemist, Clinical Scientist at Merck Science was never my thing…I loved to write and enjoyed Languages and the Arts, but my father was very realistic in terms of what kind of career I should pursue (to earn “real money”) and what I should major in at college. I talked about Nursing, but my mother, a former Army nurse, would not hear of it. I had done well in Sophomore Biology and Junior Chemistry, but was never a Math genius and feared Calculus and Physics. So, what was I doing in Science? College interviews were difficult. I was accepted for either major – Medical Technology/ Biology OR English. When it came to my father, it was a nobrainer, and I was compliant. I spent three years commuting to Gwynedd Mercy College with a credit load that would still overwhelm most college students today, as it was predominantly science courses, labs, minimal arts, and no languages. My fourth-year Internship was at Bryn Mawr Hospital’s School for Medical Technology with a 12-month laboratory rotation through the various departments where I would spent anywhere from two to eight weeks per department learning and perfecting lab techniques while also attending weekly lectures. My life was consumed with learning, and I loved the clinical atmosphere.
14
Having been a patient myself, I had respect, compassion and empathy for the patients with whom I came in contact. I was hooked. But, I must admit, I was never in a clinical lab until my first day at Bryn Mawr that hot July day in 1973. (Interviews didn’t count!) So how did I adjust? I made up my mind I wanted to do this and was going to succeed. I still had some 45 college credits to earn during the next 12 months and could not afford to fail – scholastically or personally. My fist job after graduation was in the Chemistry Lab at Abington Hospital. I spent five years there honing my basic lab skills in both wet chemistry and automated procedures while making correlations with clinical conditions and teaching young Med Tech students. Wanderlust and changing career goals in 1979 took me to Merck (then Merck, Sharpe and Dohme) Pre-Clinical Safety Assessment. Essentially, I was performing the same lab tests as before, but now I was analyzing healthy animal samples. At times, the uniqueness of the various species required some tweaking of procedures and now all my science background and lab skills were put to the test. My laboratory acumen was developed in a way that surpassed anything I had ever done clinically. And I was writing as well – documenting all scientific experiments as well as co-authoring scientific posters and papers. I had found a way to satisfy all aspects of my original career goals. And then I wanted to do more with my knowledge – I applied internally for positions in the Clinical Trials area (Clinical Development) and began by writing and editing Informed Consents followed by a position as a Clinical Scientist in Clinical Neuroscience and, just recently post-retirement, Clinical Oncology. Being a Clinical Scientist required me to use all the skills and knowledge I had from the very beginning of my career
the “mouse house.” Without good notes, I wouldn’t have been able to figure out which mice were in my control group versus my experimental group!
So what have I learned about life? Start with a goal(s) and learn to be flexible – have a contingency plan (just in case), and above all, be true to yourself and your ideals. Compromise when absolutely necessary, and always do your best. My humble Med Tech degree served me well in this life. I don’t ask the question “what if” anymore. Life events have a way of taking you along for the ride, but if you have conviction as your life raft, you will survive all twists and turns.
The Mount also developed my writing skills, which were critical for my success in college. Sister Dorothy was a tough critic of those political science papers, but by my senior year my writing skills were more than ready for the challenge of writing college term papers.
Note: I might add the fact that I never met with a Guidance Counselor, as it was not a mandatory aspect of being a Senior. My parents, especially my father, spent a lot of time reading and researching while listening to me talk of my day-to-day experiences in my Mount Classes. He must have heard something…and worked on the prospect that I was destined for a medical career. While not a doctor or nurse, I still played a role in the diagnosis of countless patients, and later, in the development of numerous prescription drugs still in routine use. I feel quite proud to have made that contribution while establishing myself as a Scientist in the pharmaceutical industry.
Teresa A. Colella ’90 Technology Transfer, Technology Manager I work with scientists and engineers who develop new technologies, and I evaluate their “intellectual property” to determine if it is unique and if it has commercial value. I then identify companies that may need these technologies as new products or to improve products that are already being sold. (Basically, I am a “yenta” or “match maker”!) Once I find an interested company for a technology, I negotiate the terms of a license agreement (a special kind of contract). Once the company sells products using the technology, it pays fees which fund additional research and development work at the University. My work also involves negotiating litigation settlements (sometimes our companies sue other companies for violating our patents); developing policies that govern how my employer manages new ideas developed by staff; engaging our researchers education programs to help them learn about innovative research being carried out at companies; and supervising and mentoring other employees. For “fun” I teach evening classes in Molecular Biology and Cancer Research to graduate students enrolled in a Biomedical Engineering Program. So, my job is really a fun mix of science, law and business. My Mount education taught me many things. Dr. Werts taught us how to document our experiments in a neat and organized laboratory notebook. This disciplined approach really paid off, particularly one late night when I was carrying out a critical experiment for my doctoral thesis in the basement of my research building, affectionately referred to as
The Mount taught me how to ask meaningful questions, how to see the “big picture” and how to look at a problem objectively. The ability to process a lot of information and distill it into a simple, meaningful take-away message is critical in my profession, as it is easy to be overwhelmed by information overload!

plus a huge dose of common sense and good organizational skills – something developed at a young age during my halcyon days at the Mount.
Most importantly, the Mount taught and reinforced my Catholic faith. Because of this, I am proud of my identity as a Catholic woman, not just at home and in my parish community, but in the workplace. The Mount teaches us to model our Catholic faith. While sometimes it is uncomfortable to take a stand, the confidence that the Mount instills in Mounties lasts a lifetime. For example, I do not manage any technologies that involve embryonic stem cell research. While my boss disagreed with my pro-life position, I am respected for following my conscience. While others speak poorly about their spouses, I speak highly of my husband. Because of this, my colleagues often comment on how much they admire our marriage. When my husband and I were struggling with infertility, we pursued adoption, while a colleague chose in vitro fertilization. Sr. Jean prepared us well to speak accurately and confidently about what our Catholic faith teaches us about moral issues, while still being gracious and loving to others who disagree. The Mount was an important stepping stone. Without my Mount education, I could have never gone on and succeeded in college, which helped me be successful in graduate school. At the Mount I was encouraged to love learning. Rather than taking the traditional route in science (becoming a full-time professor) or in law (seeking partnership at an intellectual property law firm), I have allowed my career to be an interesting journey of learning new things and, hopefully, making contributions that make a difference. My advice for Mounties is to learn about yourself by trying new things within the comfortable Mount environment (for example, try out a new club – you don’t have to continue if you don’t like it!). The Mount is a great place for failure, as there are loving “arms” to “pick you up” and help you try something new. What are your strengths? Explore your academic interests, and don’t be afraid to explore how seemingly different interest areas may be combined. I think that the most interesting careers are cross-disciplinary. Once you are in college, don’t be set on your major too early. Try out new classes that look interesting and see where they lead you. I told my father that there was no way that I would be a science major, my heart was set on political science. While getting my science requirement “out of the way,” I fell in love with cells. Who would have figured? Take advantage of every opportunity to try out different environments through internships. For example, after declaring a biology major, I thought I might want to be a physician, specifically a child psychiatrist. So, I worked in a child psychiatric unit during a three-week “winter session” and came back to my dorm and cried every single night. My heart simply couldn’t handle patient interface. This experience helped me “scratch” medical school off of my list! 15
You have so much to look forward to, you are capable, competent young women. Take advantage of all that is being offered and enjoy every moment!
Jennifer M. King, MD ’89 Emergency Medicine Physician, Abington Memorial Hospital Emergency Trauma Center Nailgun to the thigh. Chest pain. General weakness. The chief complaints of my next three patients pop up on the tracking board as the charts land in the rack. I scan the attached EKG for the patient with chest pain as I head to search the drawer full of miscellaneous tools for pliers to extract the embedded roofing nail. I never know what situation is going to be carried, wheeled, flown, dragged in handcuffs, or thrown at me when I arrive at work in the ER. But I generally greet it with an ever-present and bottomless cup of coffee in hand. Did my Mount education prepare me for this chaos? No doubt. Now, there was no Shop Class back in the ’80s when Sister Mary Jo oversaw us Mounties. However, I did develop some fairly good hand-eye coordination with a field hockey stick. So I’m not afraid to resort to hand tools if needed at work. And while I am not afforded the luxury of full medical histories and having the benefit of extended time with my critically ill patients, I am not afraid to swing the stick, er, bat and try an intervention that may save a life. I first fell in love with science because of Ms. Davis and gained a level of confidence with biology and public speaking through PJAS projects overseen by Sister Mary Carroll. And, I have to be honest, I thought the frog dissection was pretty darn cool. Of course, the gazillion years of Latin I had under Sister Kitty were very handy during anatomy — vena cava, pes anserinus, flexor digiti minimi. Although I am still waiting for my first Latinspeaking patient to present…it could happen! While my encounters with patients tend to be brief and follow-up is seldom (unless they are repeat offenders, gravity-challenged, or mentally, um, underpowered), I realize that the experience can be heavily emotionally charged. I strive to treat patients with respect, honesty, and equality. To me, that is the true Mount educational underpinning that I employ during every shift. And that I attribute to every Sister and layperson I had the privilege to encounter at the Mount. When you attend a school this closeknit where everyone from the principal to the janitor (Lamar!) knows your name, you gain self-worth and self-confidence that later translates into professionalism. OK, back to the fray—pliers and stethoscope in hand, God in my heart.

Christine M. Macolino ’05 Thomas Jefferson University Orthopaedic Surgery Research Technician My career at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Division of Orthopaedic Research is to study heterotopic ossification and ectopic bone formation. Heterotopic ossification is the process by which bone forms within the body, outside the skeleton, and develops after surgery or trauma. My research team and I have discovered that nuclear retinoic acid receptorgamma agonists are potent inhibitors of intramuscular and subcutaneous heterotopic ossification with minimal rebound effects. On a daily basis, I can be found at my lab bench processing in vivo samples from mice, performing dissections, analyzing micro computed tomography data, staining for histological biomarkers in sectioned samples or performing image and data analyses for quantitative and qualitative results. I am also pursing a Professional Master’s of Science in Cell and Developmental Biology by taking courses that will ultimately improve and strengthen my background in biology, my ability to comprehend experimental tasks and data and statistical analyses and managerial style. My hope in the future is to focus on limb regeneration and stem cell research. My Mount education prepared me for this position by constantly pushing me to exceed. My job takes a lot of dedication and determination, because 99% of experiments fail. You need to be able to make changes, optimize and see the bigger picture in research. If you fail, try again. I’m constantly asking myself, “How can I make this better? How can I push my research to the limit?” During my years at the Mount, one of the themes was “the hope of the harvest is in the seed.” If deep down you believe you can do something, all you need is a little push and a lot of dedication, focus and determination to achieve your dreams. Looking back on my education at the Mount, I wish I had spent more time in math and science classes. I also wish that the Mount would have prepared me for more “real life” situations and how I could effectively apply math or science problems to real life, instead of just solving for x. You could memorize every equation the world has to offer, but knowing what to do with each equation makes all the difference. I would advise current Mounties interested in careers in the sciences to work hard, be dedicated to yourself and your work, have a passion and a drive to solve the world’s science and medical problems, and never let anyone tell you that you are not good enough or will never make it. If you want something, go for it, and don’t stop until you get it. You are strong, confident, intelligent young ladies capable of overcoming any obstacle the world throws at you. If you need help, ask for it. If you would like to pursue a career in the sciences, focus on math, science, English and arts classes. You will need to know how to compile reports on a qualitative and quantitative level, and beautiful images and artwork based on your data always helps! Every single job in the world will require you to write at some point during your career, so make sure you focus on grammar and MLA format as well. Look for activities that not only feed
your brain, but also feed your social life, because the hardest thing for scientists and medical personnel is communication. Summer internships and rotations in hospitals and university laboratories are always beneficial. Internships will help you realize if the science or medical field truly is for you. Always remember: “On the education of women largely depends the future of society (and science).” Work hard, stay in school and achieve greatness. I know each one of you is absolutely capable of making a deep impact on the lives of others.
Etta Pisano, MD ’75 Dean of the College of Medicine, Vice President for Medical Affairs at the Medical University of South Carolina, and Professor of Radiology My name is Etta Pisano, and I’m a member of the Mount Class of 1975. I received my Bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College, my MD from Duke University, and completed my residency at Harvard Medical School/Beth Israel Hospital. I have been married for 30 years to Jan Kylstra, MD, my college classmate. We have four children – Carolyn, 25, Jimmy, 21, Schuyler, 20, and Marijke, 17.
Academic Affairs, Director of the Biomedical Research Imaging Center, and Director of the North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute. Prior to service in these roles, I was the founding director of the breast imaging service at UNC. In my clinical practice as a Radiologist, I specialize in breast imaging. Despite the incredible progress that has been made, too many women are still dying of breast cancer. Early detection is the key to cancer survival. As a radiologist, I have long been interested in breast imaging and I conducted a study of over 50,000 women on the subject. That study proved that digital mammography was superior to film mammography in young women and that this type of imaging was needed in doctor’s offices. In the last seven years, I’ve also been working on a new type of x-ray imaging – Diffraction Enhanced Imaging. My colleagues and I believe this machine will produce higher quality mammograms at a much lower radiation dose. I convinced a graduate student to help me build a prototype machine as part of his dissertation. Together, we are now trying to commercialize that product in a start-up company, NextRay. My Mount education provided me with a strong foundation both for college and medical school, for my career and my family life. I received an excellent science education at the Mount, and also learned to write well and think clearly. Perhaps most importantly, I was taught that girls could be leaders. The Mount provided me with everything I needed to achieve the personal and professional success I have enjoyed.
Since July 2010, I have served as Dean of the College of Medicine and Vice President for Medical Affairs at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston, South Carolina, where I also serve as Professor of Radiology. As Vice President for Medical Affairs, I am in charge of our clinical mission, ensuring that patients receive quality care. As Dean of the College of Medicine, I am tasked with training the future workforce in healthcare – the education of our medical students, fellows, and residents. I am also responsible for guiding the research mission and with faculty development. Prior to my current position at MUSC, I was at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine for 21 years, where I served as Kenan Professor of Radiology, Vice Dean for
Often in life, girls blame themselves when things go wrong, to a much greater extent than boys do under similar circumstances. It is important for girls to feel comfortable with competition and to understand how to win and lose, because both are a part of life. For any current Mounties interested in becoming a physicianleader, it is important that they focus on science and math in high school. It is also important to be well-rounded students, both in high school and in college. The development of good people skills is essential, as is an appreciation for service to others. The Mount fosters all these things very well, and I am very grateful I had the opportunity to study there. The teachers I had and the support I experienced there and through my family have helped make me the woman I am today.

hannon Foley ’93 saves lives. She is cool, adventurous and smart. When Shannon is presented with opportunities, she reminds herself that every experience leads to something else, everything happens for a reason, and we only live once, so, “Why not?” The story of Shannon Foley’s life is amazing; yet, even more amazing is the impact Shannon has on so many other people...she is “saving lives one concert at a time.” Shannon Foley, MSJA class of ’93 is the Executive Director of Love Hope Strength - the world’s leading rock and roll cancer foundation. Since its inception in 2007, Love Hope Strength has been living its mission “to build and support cancer centers around the globe; build awareness of global cancer needs and build international marrow databases through the “GET ON THE LIST” campaign.”
would dress up like a witch on Halloween and hand out candy to our classes. She was involved in every aspect of our education at the Mount and with my brothers at La Salle in the Mother’s Club.” Mr. and Mrs. Foley did a great job raising a great family. Expressing his admiration, Mike Foley, stated, “I’m certainly proud of our children’s accomplishments. But I’m more proud that they love one another. I blame it all on their mom.” They are a spirited family eager to embrace the adventure of life. Molly Foley Harrington ’90
Shannon states that her “Mount education was the best education I could have experienced”, as it enhanced her confidence in embracing life. She made amazing friendships at the Mount, and will have 12 Mounties at her wedding next year to Jeremy Henn. From adventures in Fontbonne (“make like a tree”) to worldwide travel, at every step in her life, Shannon has had a Mount Girl by her side.

hy not? You only live once!”
– Shannon
Shannon is one of the five children born to Mary Ann and Mike Foley in Lafayette Hill, PA. Her siblings include Pat (La Salle ’88), Molly ’90, Ryan (La Salle ’95) and Erin ’97. Asking Shannon to describe her Mom, in typical rock star fashion, she replied, “She’s the bomb - a dynamo; she hosted many parties; she ran Celebrauction; she is a legend at the Mount. My Mom
I’m currently a married, stay at home mother of four boys. My husband, Brian Harrington, owns and operates restaurants and bars in Philadelphia and other Northeast cities. Brian and I have known each other since I was at the Mount and he was at GA. Shortly after our first son was born, Brian and I were talking about schools. At the time, we lived in St. Helena’s parish and thought our kids would go there for grade school. We were theorizing which high schools we might consider, and I said: “I don’t really have an opinion about the boys, but our girls are definitely going to an all-girls’ high school”. Ironically, we never made it that far, [after having four boys] we gave up on the “girl thing”! Anyway, my connection to the Mount has always been strong. I still have extremely close friends from the Mount - I’ve had them as bridesmaids, I’ve traveled the world with them, and I’ve even Foley ’93 had them help deliver my baby! I attribute much of my successes in college, athletics and life to things I learned at the Mount: ambition, self confidence, competitive edge, relationship skills. There’s nothing like going to school every day with 125 of the sharpest, scrappiest women in the area! It teaches you to be on your toes in any situation - even mothering four boys!
I can attribute a LOT about the path my life has followed to my experiences at the Mount. It was at the Mount that I first discovered my bug for travel when I did a junior year trip to Ireland. That led me first to a semester abroad in Ireland in college, followed by a one month trip to Mexico after graduation (kayaking the coast), and finally to Spain. At the Mount, I deepened my love for Math and Spanish, which prepared me for my twoyear experience teaching English in Barcelona. The day I returned to the United States, I met my husband. I moved to Colorado on a whim with Shannon to help Molly’s husband open a bar. I am currently a mortgage loan officer and a Mom. I’m pretty sure I can say the education the Mount provided laid the foundation for this crazy path!
Hope “Why not? You only live once.” - Shannon Foley I define hope as “positive energy in action” and Shannon exemplifies positive energy in action. After graduating from the Mount, Shannon attended Boston College, earning a degree in Business and Marketing with fellow Mountie, Brandi Barlow, as a roommate. Unsure of what to do next, she picked up a job working for Grant Thornton. Shannon knows the importance of developing strong connections, and when her local partner became CEO of United States Operations, he promoted Shannon to the position of National Director of Brand Identity. Shannon dedicated herself to her career, traveling and spending an extensive amount of time in London for work. Wise in the “work hard, play hard” philosophy, Shannon enhanced her international experience while further developing her sisterly bond with Erin while Erin studied as an exchange student in Ireland. Despite her powerful position in the workforce, Shannon was devastated along with the rest of her family when on February 14, 2001, her brother Ryan was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Cancer would soon come to learn that it has no chance against the Foley Family. Ryan beat cancer. Shannon experienced the satisfaction of witnessing someone conquer cancer and unknowingly experienced an event that would influence her future. Ryan recently reflected, “Shannon’s leadership and altruism are directly responsible for the success of the LHS Foundation. There are hundreds of people out there who owe their lives to her efforts. My family and I are extremely proud of her for making a real difference in the world.”
Shannon, further empowered with the motto “You only live once,” decided to move to San Francisco with her best friend and Mount partner in crime since freshman year, Jen Carroll ’93. (Flashback to 1989 when, as Shannon recalls, Jen’s high hairdo blocked Shannon’s view in class, and as Jen sentimentally reminisced, “Shannon was never, ever, not even one day - in full proper uniform at the Mount.”)
Profiles Happenings of Hope
Erin Foley Bradley ’97
Grant Thornton gave Shannon the OK to accommodate her move, so Jen, Jen’s sister Jess ’91, Shannon and Erin roadtripped to California in two separate cars equipped with walkie talkies and chatted the entire trip. They drove until they arrived in San Francisco at the welcoming apartment of Jeannine Giordano ’93 on September 10, 2001. The next morning, September 11th, the world changed and Shannon once again came face-to-face with how precious life is. Determined to fully live life, Jen and Shannon created memories of a lifetime in their one-and-a-halfyear San Francisco adventure as Shannon fondly recalled “Mount weekends at the Vineyards”. Around this time, Jen was taking key steps along her meteoric rise up the culinary landscape. (You have probably seen Jennifer Carroll on Top Chef or enjoyed one of her amazing meals at restaurants including Le Bernardin and 10Arts).
Embracing adventure, Shannon and Jen decided to experience an African Safari. In Africa, Jen spent her time in the makeshift kitchens in camp learning how to cook culinary catfish over open coals while the safari company noticed the dynamo of Shannon Foley and offered her a job. She declined and came back to San Francisco. As life would have it, Shannon broke her back while wake-boarding. While she was laid up in her bed for a month recovering and working Continued on following page

from home, she received another email from Africa imploring her to come and rebrand their company. Shannon consulted with her Doctor and asked him how long it would take until she could ride a horse. Her Doctor said two months - so Shannon sent an email to her family saying “I’m moving to Africa on January 11”. All replied very positively, with Mom encouraging her to “be safe”. Shannon was most concerned with her Dad’s reaction, as he is a man of few words. When Shannon received some books from her Dad the next day about the history of Kenya, she knew that she had his blessing. His note, “If you’re going to move somewhere, better know something about the history. Who loves you baby!!” gave Shannon all the confidence in the world, as she knew her family was behind her. Go Shannon, Go! Shannon Foley taking another step forward in creating her legacy of changing the world. Shannon lived in Kenya for a year and “learned what I needed and what was essential”. She had one wardrobe in Africa and ate what was put in front of her, wanting for nothing. When it was time to come back to the United States, she moved to New York City, but vowed to keep the experience of Africa as a part of her. Shannon worked as a graphic designer while working on building her Safari business. She once again reunited with her BFF Jen, who, continuing her rise, was working at LeBernardin. Shannon’s restauranteur brother-in-law Brian Harrington (Molly’s husband) expanding his empire, bought a place in Denver and needed someone to help run it. Shannon consulted with her sister Erin, and said “Why not? Let’s move to Denver.” During her experience opening the bar in Denver, Shannon saved enough money to get her business going, arranging safari tours. But, as is life, things happen. And in this case, a lot happened in a little time. While in Vail skiing, Shannon got a call that a beloved cousin had passed away. After she came back from that funeral, she found that her dear friends, lodge owner, Christof Verleyson and safari guide, David Penrose, had both died in a plane crash in Kenya. She flew to Africa to be there for the services and help Christof’s best friend put his affairs in order and pack up his home. On the day of their funeral, her friend who was hosting the service was killed in a hot air ballooning accident. She came back to the United States and found out that one of her best friend’s father had died of cancer and her college roommate’s father had died in a tragic accident. She lost a total of seven people in one month, was out of money and wondered “What am I going to do?” The pain she felt helped inspire the passion behind Love Hope Strength. Her questions started to get answered as two of her friends built a bar and asked Shannon to run it. She became the General Manager of a private boutique hotel that catered to the “who’s who” of celebrity. The connections she made helped create the foundation of the celebrity success of Love Hope Strength. Shannon also started consulting for non-profits by helping them build their brand images, getting celebrities to attend their events and getting the media involved. Shannon had figured out a formula that worked and she stumbled upon a win-win.
STRENGTH “Shannon is literally doing life-saving work, and she’s doing it in an incredibly interesting and innovative way. All things considered, she has one of the coolest jobs of anyone I’ve ever met.” - Patrick Foley Shannon heard about two musicians who wanted to host a concert on Mount Everest to raise money to build a cancer
20
center in Nepal. Shannon contacted them and took them as her clients but found that their idea was still in its infancy. The logistics, i.e., who was booking them and sponsoring them, had not yet been worked out. Shannon had crystalized her calling. She met with a lawyer and started a charity - The Love Hope Strength Foundation was born. The first mission was “Everest Rocks”, a concert on Mount Everest. All of Shannon’s experiences had brought her to this point. Her travel, her connections with celebrities, her experience in hospitality, and her knowledge of building a brand culminated in this event captured in the documentary, now a regular airing on MTV’s Palladia. In the five years since their launch, Love Hope Strength has led music pilgrimages on six out of seven continents. Blending work and fun, the Foley Girls, Molly and Erin, joined Shannon at the Inca Ruins of Macchu Picchu to create amazing sisterly memories and to celebrate Ryan’s conquering of cancer. As Molly explains, “I am so proud of my sister Shannon’s work with Love Hope Strength. The foundation has touched so many lives in such a profound way, and Shannon is the true driving force behind that. She’s used her ingenuity, strength, and sheer stubborn-headedness to put LHS cancer awareness and bone marrow drives on the map – the world map.” In the third year, at the glaciers of Kilimanjaro, a special full circle moment reminded Shannon of why she does what she does. Shannon’s friend Claudia, who had taken Shannon’s job in Africa, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her cancer relapsed, and she wasn’t able to climb as planned. Shannon leads an organization that is dedicated to beating cancer, so seeing Claudia struggle made Shannon fight harder. Love Hope Strength opened the very first children’s cancer center in Tanzania in February 2010, 10 years to the day of Shannon’s first African trip, her ninth trip back to Africa. Claudia’s husband came in memory of his wife who had passed. Shannon brings the energy of her personal experiences of love and loss to the mission of Love Hope Strength. The foundation helps raise money and awareness as it works with Rock and Roll legends like Squeeze, The Fixx, The Cult, John Oates, Donavon Frankenreiter, The Stray Cats, Gin Blossoms and more to battle cancer. Wanting to utilize resources that are already available, LHS has teamed with DKMS, the world’s largest marrow registry, to conduct “bone marrow drives at concerts, music festivals and events in the United States and United Kingdom, so that people can find the match that will save their lives”. At this point, Love Hope Strength has swabbed the cheeks of 16,000 people at concerts and located over 100 bone potentially life-saving marrow matches. Shannon’s BFF, Jen, remarks, “I love Shannon to death and wish her all the success that the world can give her. What she does is the most amazing thing, helping so many people and raising so much money to beat cancer.” Love Hope Strength’s Second Documentary, More To Live For was recently released. Thanks to the creativity, spirit and hustle that Shannon Foley brings to the world, many people are leading longer, healthier lives as they fight and win against cancer. In 2012, Shannon is excitedly preparing to return to Mount Everest for Everest Rocks 2 and will marry Jeremy Henn - a former Love Hope Strength volunteer and bone marrow donor to his own brother. The story of their whirlwind relationship is found in detail at www.foleyhenn.com. Continued on page 22

In summary, in the words of Shannon’s Mom, Mary Ann, “Who could have imagined that Shannon’s journey from Mount Saint Joseph Academy, to Boston College, to Grant Thornton, Ker & Downey (Africa), to Denver – would lead to her running a cancer foundation?” “I believe that all these experiences gave her the ability to follow God’s plan – building “LOVE HOPE STRENGTH” into a worldwide cancer foundation. Sending the message, “Everyone Can Save Lives—Just Get on the List!!!!!” Mrs. Foley continues, “I have been blessed with a wonderful family. We are so proud of Shannon and what she is doing to save lives and support families who fight the battle against cancer. I hope and pray that someday we will win this war. If you look at the film clips of all her treks – you can see how much LHS

has accomplished in five years. The cancer center for children in Africa is only one example of what can be accomplished if people take the time to open their hearts.” More information about the work Shannon is doing and information on how you can GET ON THE LIST to become a marrow donor can be found at www.LoveHopeStrength.org.

Dear Fellow Alumnae,
Alumnae
A Letter from the Alumnae Association President Autumn is abundantly upon us as the leisurely days of summer wane into the cool, crisp days of the harvest. There is excitement in the air as The Mount community is full of life and possibilities. Just as our history of the Sisters of Saint Joseph brims with examples of how we have boldly transformed The Mount to meet the needs of the day, so too is our Alumnae Association continuing in those footsteps. Our Alumnae Association embodies the spirit of the Mount. It reflects the pride that defines and unites us. In keeping with our rich traditions, we began September with welcoming back over 135 “Golden Girls” to their annual luncheon at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club. It was inspiring to see women from as far away as California joining together to show their Mount spirit.
The chilly weather did not cool the spirit of over 140 golfers at the 19th Annual MSJA Golf Outing. We had a record number of women golfers for the second year in a row. Thanks to the leadership of Co-Chairs Beth and Mike Brown and our committee, we raised nearly $70,000. This is such an important fundraiser, as 50 percent of these proceeds fund the Alumnae Grant which provides a need based tuition grant to the daughter of a Mount Alumnae. Alumnae together with parents, administration and students hosted the Mount’s Annual Open House on October 16. Our Mount Alumnae welcomed prospective students and their families as well as many Alumnae mothers hopeful that their daughters will continue their legacy. Inspired by the runways of New York City, the Special Events committee has worked feverishly to produce “THE MOUNT RUNWAY FASHION SHOW,” featuring fashions by Nicole Miller Philadelphia. It was the perfect opportunity to bring together students, parents and alumnae. Everyone enjoyed dinner, shopping and the current trends for the fall and holiday seasons. Last year, we launched the “Founder’s Directory,” a business directory of Mount Alumnae. If you have not already registered, I urge you to do so. This can be a valuable tool, whether you are networking or wish to pursue a specific business trade. I also invite you to check out the Mount’s Alumnae website at www.msjaalum.org. There you can get additional information on Lunch with Santa, Alumnae Day and many more exciting events! Over the years, we have built a strong community that “educates future founders” and links Alumnae to living lives of leadership and service. It is through your continued support to “THE MOUNT FUND” that future generations can continue this legacy. Spes messis in semine…You as alumnae are the seeds of the harvest. Enjoy autumn’s bounty,

raduates of Mount Saint Joseph Academy have always had a strong bond, and the Mount’s Golden Girls (Alumnae who have reached their 50th anniversary), gather each September to reminisce and enjoy each other’s company. The 12th Annual Golden Girls luncheon was held Friday, Sept. 16, 2011, at the Whitemarsh Valley Country Club in Lafayette Hill. With over 135 in attendance, the room came alive with warmth and camaraderie, laughter and delightful conversation. It is hard to imagine that graduation was at least 50 years ago, and these ladies have maintained ties with one another and with the Mount that grow ever stronger as each year passes.

Mount Saint Joseph Academy Annual Report 2010-2011 31
A Message from Chairman of the Board Mount Saint Joseph Academy Annual Report 2010-2011 As chair of the Board of Directors, I am pleased once again to present the 2010 – 2011 Annual Report of Gifts. Each year we see an increasing number of names from within the Mount community who contribute generously to continue the legacy of the Mount. As a Mount alumna and past parent of three Mounties, I am keenly aware of the Mount’s 153-year history of adapting to the changing times while always furthering the mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph. The Mount is regarded as the preeminent Catholic private girls’ academy in the area. Yet, it is a fact that of the 26 private independent secondary schools in this area, the Mount’s tuition is the fourth lowest and less than half the cost of the top six. At the Mount there is an 18% shortfall between the tuition revenue and our actual operating costs. Said more plainly, tuition covers just 82% of the cost of each student’s education. Moreover, 19% of the students currently receive financial aid. This 18% deficit is funded each year by your generous response to our major fund raisers — the Mount Fund, Golf Outing, and Celebrauction. We depend heavily and are most appreciative of the proceeds from Celebrauction, chaired last year by Deb and Kirk Nemschick, as many of us enjoyed a fun journey down the Nile. Each fall the Golf Outing, chaired by Mike and Beth Brown, funds a needs-based scholarship to the daughter of an alumna and also contributes to our endowment. Additionally, the Special Events committee, made up of parents and alumnae, each year sponsors the popular Spring Fling; and last year a Fall fashion show. The proceeds of these two events made possible the handsome new signage at the main entrance to the Mount. In addition to these major fund raisers, the Mount relies heavily on the support of its Alumnae Association, led by Trish Zugay Burkholder ’74. There are numerous events for every age group throughout the year from the “Golden Girls” in the fall to Alumnae Day and Alumnae Induction in the spring. In recent months the Alumnae have initiated the “Founders Directory,” an online business directory to encourage business relationships and networking among their members. They also support the college-age internship program and mentoring. In this past year we are happy to report that 100% of our newest alums, the Class of 2011, contributed to the Mount Fund. While participation from many alumnae classes was very high, the overall average was 15%. The challenge is to increase participation each year. One of the major challenges always confronting the Board is to make needed repairs and maintain our 50-yearold building and its beautiful surrounding grounds. Currently, today’s technology and best teaching practices require change and replacement of our science labs if we are to meet the expectations of a first class secondary school in today’s educational environment. The Board and its committees understand these ever-changing needs. They work hard to meet these needs and are dedicated to insuring the Mount remain the best of the best for years to come. All of the above is totally dependent upon the extraordinary generosity of the many persons and groups within the Mount community. It is both your much needed contributions to the Mount Fund, your support of other fund raisers, along with the contributions of your valuable time that together will continue the legacy of the excellence of our beloved Mount. In the name of the Board, I sincerely thank you for all that you have done and continue to do.

The Stephanie Leonards Roman Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 2009 in memory of Stephanie Leonards Roman by her family. As a teacher, Steph brought kindness, compassion and great intellect to the classroom. Her students loved her from the first and delighted in her joy of teaching science – everything from dissections to creek sampling and DNA extraction! She had the gift of being able to connect with the students and instill in them the love of learning. Steph was a natural in the classroom, and with her presence the girls acquired one of the finest role models a young woman could have – as a professional, as a wife and as a mother. We are grateful to the following donors who generously gave to the scholarship fund in Stephanie’s memory.

Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) In 2001, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania established the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program to enable private businesses to receive a tax credit on specific corporate taxes when making donations to a non-profit scholarship program. The EITC program enables Mount Saint Joseph Academy to provide financial aid to students whose families have an adjusted family income of no greater than $72,000 plus $12,000 for each dependant up to $120,000. Companies will receive a 75 percent tax credit for donations for a single year commitment to EITC. The tax credit increases to 90 percent if the company commits to making the same donations for two consecutive years. A business paying taxes in Pennsylvania can receive up to $300,000 in tax credits annually. As of July 1, 2008, the definition of “business entity” has been expanded to include S Corporations and Partnerships which can receive up to $200,000 in tax credits annually.

Planned gifts and bequests play an important role in the voluntary support of Mount Saint Joseph Academy. The Sister Claire Hélène Society has been established to honor those alumnae and friends of Mount Saint Joseph Academy who have continued a tradition of remembrance at their alma mater. The society is named in memory of a beloved Latin, religion and French teacher who inspired two generations of Alumnae of both the “old” and the “new” Mount. Members of the Sister Claire Hélène Society are those who have left a bequest to the Academy, or have notified the school that they have created a provision in their estate plans to benefit the Mount. These provisions include trusts, arranging bequests and making gifts of life insurance, naming the school as a beneficiary. These gifts become a permanent part of the Endowment, providing a source of income upon which the school can depend and use to plan for generations to come.
