Sister Maryanne Stevens, Ph.D., RSM, has been president of the College of Saint Mary (CSM) for 20 years. Before going to CSM, Dr. Stevens was a tenured theology professor with no administrative experience. In 1996, the debt-ridden college for women in Omaha was on the verge of closing its doors. Today, her leadership has energized the midtown campus and the student body is thriving. Nick Schinker’s profile of Sister Stevens begins on page 10.
Volunteer Dee Owen, age 99, volunteers at the Omaha Community Playhouse twice a week. She’s also been on the OCP’s board of trustees since 1970. See page 13.
Tax counseling AARP and the EITC Coalition of Omaha are both offering free income tax counseling services for Nebraskans through mid April. See pages 15 and 18.
