DR. BILL BROWNSBERGER:
Igniting a New Era at Saint Martin's University
BY NATASHA ASHENHURST PHOTOGRAPHY BY SHANNA PAXTON
“Saint Martin’s is the best-kept secret in the region. With so much to offer this community, we plan to unlock its full potential.”
A Legacy of Service and Transformation
In the hills of the Appalachian Mountains, Dr. William "Bill" Brownsberger worked with students living without essential utilities but brimming with resilience. Through his work at a community college as the vice president of academic affairs and workforce solutions, he helped shape their futures, giving them the tools for a better life. As the new president of Saint Martin's University, he's bringing that same passion to the Pacific Northwest. "Saint Martin's is the best-kept secret in the region," he says, "and with so much to offer this community, we plan to unlock its full potential."
Embracing the Benedictine Tradition
Dr. Brownsberger was also drawn to Saint Martin's University because of its strong Catholic Benedictine tradition. Rooted in the teachings of Saint Benedict, who founded a monastic community in Italy in 528, this tradition guides the university's values of spirituality, community, service, listening, diversity, and the pursuit of peace and justice. It encourages students to grow spiritually, serve others, and foster inclusivity while promoting balance in mind, body, and spirit. This deep commitment to both education and service is a key part of what makes Saint Martin's unique in the region.
As Dr. Brownsberger learns more about Saint Martin's, he is gaining a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities Saint Martin's faces as it looks ahead to the next five years.
Turning Enrollment Challenges into Opportunities
"Enrollment has been a key concern," he said, "especially after a challenging few years that left the university with a "black eye" in the public mind." The recent issues with students having trouble filling out the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
“I believe in listening and deliberating before making decisions and then moving forward with decisiveness, being proactive in shaping our future.”
“We had braced for lower enrollment, but we’re seeing nearly 1,400 students this year, which exceeds our projections and gives us breathing room.”
further complicated matters, leading many to forecast significantly lower student numbers and possible layoffs. However, despite these concerns, Saint Martin's saw an enrollment of nearly 1,400 students this year, exceeding the projected 1,200. Dr. Brownsberger believes this gives the university valuable breathing room and optimism for the future as the community is ready to press forward and deliver on its mission.
Fostering a Liberal Arts Education in a Tech-Driven World
Looking beyond enrollment, Dr. Brownsberger is optimistic about a steady demand for liberal arts education, especially in a world increasingly influenced by technology and artificial intelligence. He notes that a return to the human element is essential—students are seeking technical skills as well as a deep understanding of who they are and their significance in the world. This shift allows Saint Martin's to emphasize its unique value proposition of cultivating the whole person, nurturing students' personal growth alongside academic achievement.
"We believe that it is important to ask who you are before learning what you can do," he said.
Building Strong Community Partnerships
Dr. Brownsberger plans to engage with local businesses and community organizations to strengthen the university's connection to Thurston County, ensuring that Saint Martin's remains a valuable partner in the region's economic and social vitality. This partnership extends beyond preparing students for the workforce; it's about building a meaningful relationship between the university and the community it serves.
Dr. Brownsberger sees universities as critical in addressing workforce skills gaps while maintaining the broader, lifelong benefits of a liberal arts education. "The foundation of a liberal arts education—figuring out who you are and asking big questions—is crucial," he explains. But it's also important to build on that with the practical knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the world."
At Saint Martin's, there's a concerted effort to stay in touch with local businesses and industries. "We work closely with business leaders to understand what they need and how we can help students become productive members of Thurston County and beyond," says Dr. Brownsberger. He highlights the university's focus on addressing critical sectors like healthcare, especially as the aging population grows. "Our discussions are centered on meeting demand and finding ways we can be a partner in delivering what the community needs."
“Our discussions are focused on key sectors like healthcare, where there is a growing demand. We want to be a valuable partner in the region’s economic and social vitality.”
"Spending time with my wife and seven children is not just the right thing to do—it’s the most fun.”
Dr. Brownsberger is enthusiastic about expanding Saint Martin's community partnerships, drawing on his past experiences in workforce solutions within the Virginia community college system. "I spent a lot of time on factory floors, talking with foremen and supervisors about what they needed from us," he recalls. "That exposure to pure workforce training taught me the importance of listening and responsiveness." He believes that the same value of responsiveness is vital for Saint Martin's as the university builds stronger partnerships with local businesses.
A Leadership Style Rooted in Collaboration and Vision
Dr. Brownsberger's leadership style is deeply rooted in collaboration and adaptability. "Any leader who comes into an organization with a one-size-fits-all approach is doing a disservice," he says. At Saint Martin's, surrounded by bright minds, he values listening and thoughtful deliberation before taking decisive action. "I believe in listening and deliberating before making decisions and then moving forward with decisiveness, being proactive in shaping our future." His focus extends to the university's strong engineering programs and initiatives like the Washington Veterans to Technology certificate program, which supports veterans and transitioning military personnel into the workforce. "We've stayed in touch with both local and international trends, especially in business, where crosspollination of knowledge with global institutions is key," he notes.
Family First: Balancing Work and Personal Life
Outside of work, Dr. Brownsberger's life revolves around his family. "I have a wife and seven children, and spending time with them is not just the right thing to do—it's the most fun," he shares.
As for his vision for Saint Martin's future, Dr. Brownsberger is optimistic. "There's a sense in the community that the university has had some challenges, but what I see now is that people are eager to move forward and embrace a bright future, dedicated to serving students and delivering on our mission."
How would YOU rate Thurston County as a place to live?
by Doug Mah, Doug Mah & Associates, Public Policy Director, Thurston County Chamber
The Thurston County Chamber worked to answer this question… and more.
This summer, the Thurston Chamber conducted its first Quality of Life Index survey, marking the beginning of a series of ongoing efforts to gauge residents' attitudes about living in Thurston County. The survey was designed to facilitate community conversations and measure various aspects of life in the region, establishing a baseline for future comparisons.
A total of 500 residents, selected at random from the list of registered voters in the county, were interviewed by telephone and online between June 18-24, 2024. Survey respondents were asked to assess various aspects of life in Thurston County by giving letter grades “like they do in school.”
In this survey, the Thurston region received a “C+” grade when asked, “overall how would you rate Thurston County as a place to live?”. This “C+” grade indicates a general expression of satisfaction but with plenty of room to improve as a community.
The Chamber also asked about growth and development. It found that almost 60 percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that “all things considered, growth and development has been positive for my community.” At the same time, 53 percent said they disagreed or strongly disagreed that they would support “more housing in my neighborhood.” But cross tabulations indicate that only about 1 in 4 fit the classic NIMBY stereotype by indicating growth was positive BUT opposed more density in their neighborhood.
It is also important to understand if folks “expected things will go well or not so well” in the next year.
The Thurston Chamber found that respondents were generally optimistic about the next year and by a margin of more than 3 to 1, more respondents thought the next year looked better (62 percent) than worse (18 percent) for their household.
The Chamber’s survey was designed, administered, and analyzed by Elway Research. It was designed to achieve a margin of error of ±4.5% at the 95% confidence interval. This means, in theory, had this same survey been repeated 100 times the results would be expected to be within ±4.5% of these results at least 95 times. The survey is very reliable, and the findings present a picture of a population aware of significant challenges in the community but generally satisfied and optimistic about the future.
The Thurston Chamber’s “Quality of Life” survey is a resource for the community. It will help drive community discussion and debate and provide a measure of our progress. And it will help hold ourselves accountable for achieving the community we aspire to become. Please take a deeper dive into the survey online at: bit.ly/Thurston_QOL

“Summit Pacific’s vision is to build the healthiest community in the nation—a big goal,” says Burkhardt, “and our culture of well-being and excellence for our workforce is foundational to making that vision a reality.”
Summit Pacific Medical Center Pioneers the Future of Work for Regional Caregivers
by Kathryn Millhorn
The COVID-19 pandemic took a significant toll on everyone, but America’s healthcare workers often bore the brunt. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services acknowledges that many caregivers continue to work in “distressing environments that strain their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being…If not addressed, the health worker burnout crisis will make it harder for patients to get care when needed, drive up health costs, hinder our ability to prepare for the next public health emergency, and worsen health disparities.”
Locally, Jennifer Burkhardt, Chief Talent and Legal Officer of Summit Pacific Medical Center (SPMC), is in charge of transforming caregiver engagement and workplace culture. Burkhardt, who joined SPMC in 2022, was tasked with spearheading initiatives prioritizing caregiver wellbeing and retention. On October 9, she will be speaking
at the Thurston County Chamber’s annual Future of Work Summit, held this year at Great Wolf Lodge.
Even during the pandemic, Summit Pacific demonstrated a commitment to its workforce. “We continued to survey caregivers on engagement, even when the pandemic was in full swing,” explains Burkhardt. “We never stopped asking how Summit Pacific could improve.” She emphasizes that this was a courageous step, given how stretched and overburdened healthcare workers were at the time.
Upon joining SPMC, Burkhardt reviewed these survey results and quickly identified critical areas for improvement. Staff voiced a desire to provide more feedback and, perhaps more importantly, to feel heard by leadership. In response, she established a
Recruitment and Retention (R&R) Committee, which narrowed down employee feedback into four key areas: re-evaluating employee benefits, improving new employee onboarding, conducting annual 'stay interviews' to understand what matters most to staff, and fostering a sense of belonging through better communication and the use of online tools.
In just one year, these efforts have yielded tangible results. Childcare resources and tuition reimbursement programs have been significantly enhanced, addressing key pain points for many caregivers. SPMC also held a Benefits Fair in August 2024 to ensure staff are well-informed about the resources available to them. Additionally, Quarterly Caregiver Summits—Town Hall-style meetings where leadership invites open communication—have become a vital part of ongoing engagement efforts.
SPMC's commitment extends beyond its employees and into the community. Burkhardt highlights that the organization regularly hosts and supports local events such as the Ride the Harbor bike event from McCleary to Westport, an all-ages 5K run/walk, the Peak Wellness Fair in the summer, and the Harbor Lights free laser show in December.
At the Future of Work Summit, Burkhardt will delve into the ways SPMC invests in its employees, with a focus
on engagement, recruitment, and retention. “Although Summit Pacific is a public hospital district, we hope the key takeaways will be useful to businesses of all sizes and structures, as the principles are universal,” she explains.
Her presentation will explore how SPMC has centered its efforts on fostering a sense of belonging within the workforce, enhancing pride in healthcare service delivery, and reinforcing the notion that caregivers’ work is meaningful and vital to the community. “Summit Pacific’s vision is to build the healthiest community in the nation—a big goal,” says Burkhardt, “and our culture of well-being and excellence for our workforce is foundational to making that vision a reality.”
The Future of Work Summit will take place on Wednesday, October 9, with check-in starting at 8 a.m. and closing remarks at 2:30 p.m. Attendees will enjoy networking opportunities, multiple Break-Out Sessions, lunch, and a keynote address. It’s a prime opportunity to learn from top experts, elevate leadership skills, and drive business forward by staying ahead of the latest workplace trends and strategies.
Burnout is a universal challenge, but through innovative engagement and communication, it can be tackled head-on. Come and discover new ways to support your employees, improve workplace culture, and build the Future of Work.
Jennifer Burkhardt, Chief Talent and Legal Officer of Summit Pacific Medical Center.
