President's Report 2020

ASPIRING EVEN HIGHER A note from President Dottie King

How many strategic plans have been created for Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College over the years? My mind trips through the stories of our past with curiosity. The innovative and persistent spirit of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin and all of the Sisters of Providence - such an integral part of this College’s legacy - remains with us! The Aspire Higher Strategic Plan was launched in 2015. Our early success in attaining many of the plan’s goals compelled us to enlarge our vision through the Aspire Even Higher Plan in 2019. As you read the latest edition of Onyx Anneau , I hope you are filled with pride in your alma mater. You will read about our campus Master Plan, enrollment numbers, new athletic teams and a fun story about the importance of bathrooms in Le Fer Hall. You are part of a grand legacy that continues to evolve, innovate and persevere through changing times for 181 years. With the blessings of Providence, we are growing, even through the challenges of a global pandemic. I am filled with gratitude for all that is and is yet to be a part of these Woods.

Blessings,
