The Challenge Has Been Set!

 Alumna and Trustee Janet Garrity '78 has seen first-hand the power that giving has had on Immaculata's students. She is so passionate about increasing the support for Immaculata University that she has committed $50,000 to match contributions of each new Mother Theresa Maxis Society member (gifts of $1,000 or more) by the end of our fiscal year, June 30, 2015. Curious to learn how you can join Janet in the Maxis Challenge? Contact Melissa A. Henry for more information on how to champion our mission of delivering a new era of academic excellence, innovation and creative risk taking in the Immaculata tradition. |

And the Answer Is...
In the last edition of "Highlights from the Hill" we asked the following Mighty Mac trivia question:
"Who was the Sister that provided direction for the first production in 1914 and for the next 55 years, continued to serve as producer, director and playwright for the group?"
The Answer:Sister DonatusThank you to all who participated!
|
Oops... We Goofed!
In the last edition of "Highlights from the Hill" we gave the answer to the previous edition's trivia question, and incorrectly listed Sr. R. Patricia Fadden, IHM, as president of Immaculata when it became a University. Sr. Marie Roseanne Bonfini was president of Immaculata through the transition from a college to a university.
Our thanks to Sister M. Carroll Isselman, IHM, EdD, RD, LDN, for pointing out the error.
