Australian politics are tough. A 1991 Dayton grad, born in
Ohio, has risen to be premier of the country’s largest state. Her path to the top is inextricably tied to her Catholicism.

OPENING COMMENTS
Amazing grace
One vivid memory of the community of my colleagues is of some of them sitting around
my dining room table as we planned
an issue of this periodical. While we
talked, my younger son came home
from high school, greeted us all and
went off to do the things that 15-yearolds do. Less than a month later, he
died. I still have my notes and story
plans from that meeting. And I have
the memories of the community that
supported and support our family.
This space has often spoken
of death and community and love
and the grace of God that holds it
all together. Our first words here in
1991, reacting to the death of longtime president Father Raymond A.
Roesch, S.M., were “amazing grace.”
And it is indeed amazing.
Today, the future, as ever, is uncertain. The world worries about money. In my professional world, lovers of Catholic universities worry about secularization of those institutions. Faculties worry about communities of
scholars losing their souls to corporatization.
We all have our fears.
We might think of Mary’s fears when an angel told her she was going to become the mother of God. Or her fears at the foot of the cross when her dying son told her that the disciple
who loved him was now her son and she, his mother. We might think of the fear of the disciples
before Pentecost. And what of their fears at Pentecost itself? And in the millennia that have
followed?
But, the wonder of it all is that grace will surely see us through.

UNIVERSITY OF
When each of us came first to Dayton, we came holding hopes for our futures. But we did
not know what those futures would hold.
When Kristina Kerscher came from Toledo to Dayton as a student 20-some years ago,
she was not planning to live in Australia; but you can read in this issue about her now being
premier of that country’s largest state. When I came to Dayton in 1967, I was not planning
to edit and write about the University of Dayton for most of my life. My wife, Suzanne, and
I intended to stay here for a year while she finished her education degree and I picked up
teaching experience in UD’s English department. Then we were going to move on somewhere
with me continuing work on a doctoral degree.
My wife got her UD degree. I got my experience; teaching in the late 1960s was certainly
an experience. But by 1973, I was no longer teaching, no longer pursuing a Ph.D. And we were
still in Dayton.
Decades have passed. I’ve written and edited much. Suzanne has acquired two more degrees and a career in health care. We have marveled at the births of our children, rejoiced at
weddings and marveled again at the births of grandchildren.
Our joys and sorrows have been shared by colleagues at this wondrous place, this University of Dayton. These people have enhanced the exhilaration of success; and, when plans have
collapsed, they have made life livable.

How to write a topical joke …
Writing topical material is a volume business. I
write 50-60 jokes a day for Dave Letterman, and on
a great day, he puts 10 on cue cards and ends up

So, how do you write a topical joke? Woody

free-associate off them. Eventually, it congeals into
something resembling a joke.
UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON MAGAZINE
—Bill Scheft
Okay, let’s begin. It’s very
simple. Simple, not easy. You
pretend your brain has doublestick tape around it. You pick
a celebrity, someone universal
with a lot of baggage, and
free associate. Topics, words,
phrases start to stick to the
tape. Pick one you like and free
associate off that. More words,
more phrases stick to the tape.
Repeat and get more specific
free associating. Keep doing
that, boiling it down. Eventually,
you can see the connection
between each step. Add some
attitude, some nonsense logic,
and you’ve got a joke.
I’ll demonstrate the process
with one of my all-time favorite
jokes involving one of the most
bountiful celebrity sources,
Michael Jackson. I wrote it 15 years ago and he’s
dead now, but why should that stop us? Michael
Jackson ... plastic surgery ... lives with a chimp

A March 2, 1935, Associated Press story: “Two widely known Ohio collegiate
fencers engaged in an impromptu match with sabers last night, and today one
of them, Robert Zolg, of the University of Dayton, is near death. His opponent’s
saber, hospital attendants reported, went entirely through his chest, puncturing
one lung.
“Zolg, with Larry Libecap of the University of Cincinnati, had gone to the
Building Industries gymnasium. Libecap said later several collegiate acquaintances suggested an informal ‘tournament.’ Both veterans of the art — they were
co-captains of Dayton’s fencing team in 1933 — they chose sabers, he said.
“The points bent double to lessen the danger of injury, Libecap’s sword
apparently glanced from Zolg’s arm, and in a lunge, pierced the right chest wall,
emerging at the other side.”
Zolg, who graduated in 1933 with a fine arts degree, survived his wounds and
lived into the 21st century, dying in 2002 at the age of 91.

must look at the Marianist story, the
Catholic story and the story of the University of

The Marianist story begins with Blessed

praying at the Marian shrine of Our Lady of the
Pillar in Zaragoza. There he became convinced
that the Blessed Virgin Mary called him to
found the Marianists. Chaminade made clear
that this call requires a specific response from
those people named after Mary, the Marianists. “What is specific about us,” he wrote of the
Marianists, “is that we devote ourselves to Mary
in order to make her known, loved and served.
For we are thoroughly convinced that we shall

While dying on the cross, Jesus established

F
ounding: In 1943, the Marianists of
the University of Dayton founded the
Marian Library to commemorate the
triple centennial to be celebrated in
1949-50: the arrival of the Marianists
in the United States (1849); the death of Father
William Joseph Chaminade, founder of the
Society of Mary (1850); and the founding of the
University of Dayton (1850).
Extent of resources: The Marian Library
has — for students and scholars who need an
extensive collection of books, periodicals and
other materials centered on studies related to
Mary, the Mother of Jesus — more than 150,000
items, dating from the beginning of printing up
to the present day. It is the largest and most
comprehensive collection in the world devoted
to this specialty.
Scope of the collection: The Marian Library collection comprises works in more than
50 languages. It includes a general reference
collection with resources in patristics, biblical
studies, christology, ecclesiology, spirituality,
church history, hymnography, iconography, and
general and specialized bibliography.
Scholarly journal: The Marian Library issues a multilingual journal, Marian Library Studies (New Series), devoted to the publication of
original and scholarly research in all aspects
of the field of Marian Studies: editions of early
texts, historical research and its documentation,
historical bibliography, as well as comparative
studies in such areas as religion, archaeology,
iconography, symbolism, theological anthropology and psychology.
Graduate studies: In 1975, an institute of
graduate studies in theology was founded in affiliation with the Pontifical University Marianum.
Students can prepare for a licentiate and doctorate in theology, with a concentration in Marian studies, earn a certificate in Marian studies,
or gain credit hours toward a master’s degree
granted in conjunction with the department of
religious studies at the University of Dayton.
IMRI is incorporated into the Faculty of Theology Marianum and is empowered to grant the

HAL OKITA ’54
For Hal Okita, the only motto as strong as “Learn.
Lead. Serve.” is a simple proclamation: “Life is to
be enjoyed.”
36
During his career, he has managed to intertwine both maxims,
beginning with physical education studies and college baseball at UD
and leading to a career in professional golf.
“My career [plans] always involved being in sports,” Okita says.
“The more I learned, the more I got involved, the more I wanted to
give back.”
Giving back took many forms, one of which was 27 years in the
U.S. Army. While stationed at Fort Campbell, Okita oversaw several
athletic facilities, including the golf course. While he didn’t play much,
he appreciated the leadership experience and bonding among his
fellow soldiers.
“Golf brings out the best, and sometimes the worst, of a person,”
he says. “And golf has so many life lessons displayed in that simple
game.”
So began his nearly three decades in golf, during which he has
conducted 13 Hawaiian Open Pro-Am Satellite tournaments, taken 10
teams to the USGA Public Links National championships, conducted
four NFL Pro Bowl golf tournaments and served as a rules official at
several hundred events. Currently, Okita is the executive director of
the Aloha Section PGA, one of 41 divisions of the world’s largest working sports organization.
His duties involve the review of section agreements, financial
management, sponsorship sales, education initiatives and section golf
tournament management.
“I get up, fight some traffic driving to work, do my management
functions, attend meetings, visit PGA professionals at their facilities, confer with
sponsors and other golf industry people,
spend more time on the computer than I
like, drive home through traffic and still
count my blessings,” Okita says.
“When we have golf tournaments or
other events, I get out of the office, meet
and greet people, oversee the event,
and enjoy the change of pace
and surroundings. And I
try my best to get to a golf
course once a week to tee
it up.”
Just another day in
paradise.

During her career, Judith Wehn has had the opportunity to impact thousands through her work at the
National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Joe is one
of the ones she remembers best.
In 2003, Wehn was giving a tour to several developmentally disabled high school students. She turned to one boy, Joe, and pointed at
a plane.
“Hey Joe, here’s your plane – it’s got your name on it. Take a look.”
“I have my own plane at the museum,” Joe said. “It has my name
on it. It flies real fast.”
The teacher accompanying the group teared up, explaining, “You
don’t know what just happened. Joe has never spoken in sentences
before.”
These types of moments are what make Wehn truly appreciate her
job. “You never really know how you have influenced, encouraged or
become a role model for someone until one of those moments,” she
said.
Wehn, chief of the education division at the museum and chief
instructor of Project SOAR, has won numerous awards for outstanding
aerospace leadership. Despite her accolades, she is the first to tell you
that her love for the interpretation of museum artifacts is what keeps
her involved.
After graduating with a degree in secondary education, Wehn
helped develop an education program for the Montgomery County
Historical Society at the Old Court House Museum in Dayton.
“That’s when I caught the museum bug,” Wehn said. “I became
fascinated with the learning environment in a museum.”
From there, she taught at Black River High School in Sullivan,
Ohio, and later worked at the Montgomery County Historical Society
before taking her current position. She is now responsible for developing an education program for
preschool students through adults and providing
oversight for various curriculum developments.
“There is great power in the emotional
connection between the museum artifacts
and the individual,” Wehn said. “It has been
an amazing 24 years.”

A life on the hardwood
JOHNNY DAVIS ’77
Johnny Davis won an NBA championship as a
rookie with the Portland Trailblazers in 1977 and
then spent 10 years in the NBA as a player and
now 20 more as an assistant and head coach.
The former UD basketball star guard was also in the front office
of the Atlanta Hawks for three years and helped raise more than
$500,000 for homeless shelters. But Davis has interests, and skills,
beyond the basketball court. He is a fan of jazz music and has
played the piano since he was about 10. Also an avid golfer, he has
carded three hole-in-ones, the most recent in 2009.
“It is the same as basketball — you have to practice to be good
at it,” says Davis, now an assistant coach with the Memphis Grizzlies.
It is basketball, of course, that has allowed him to travel
throughout North America. Davis was a public-school star in Detroit
when he made a recruiting trip to UD and was awed by a game that
drew a sellout crowd.
“I was very impressed with the arena,” said Davis, who played
at UD from 1973-76. “At the time UD was on the cutting edge and
had a tartan floor that made it easier on the knees.”
“We knew the day he came he was going to be a great player,”
said Don Donoher, the former UD head coach. “He came into our
program at a time when we had real good talent, but it was a team
that went .500 for two years. When Johnny came in,
it fit like a glove. We went from being mediocre
to real good. We let Johnny run the show. He
was a student of the game from the get-go.”
Donoher said Davis was good enough
to turn pro after his sophomore year but
stayed another season and was the 22nd
overall pick in 1976. He also saw action for
Indiana, Atlanta and Cleveland after
playing on the gold medal
Pan Am team in 1975.
“It was a very enjoyable time of my life,”
he said of UD. “I have
fond memories.”

HOWARD WATKINS ’86
“I may as well do what I love and see what
happens.”
44
That philosophy worked well for a young Howard Watkins, who
after his sophomore year at UD made a choice that would lead him
to become one of five full-time assistant conductors who are pianists/coaches at The Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
What he loved was music, but what he came to UD to study was
engineering with an eye toward medical school. UD’s small class
size and the proximity of Kettering Labs to the Music/Theatre Building allowed him to study engineering and work in the UD Research
Institute’s vibration dampening laboratory all the while taking “a
million hours of lessons on the piano, my passion, which continued
to grow.”
By the beginning of his junior year, his love of music had
eclipsed his medical dreams. He changed his major to music but
continued working at UDRI even after graduation.
“The University’s size and its essence — its spirituality and religiosity — make people here understand the importance of helping
develop the individual both inside and out,” he said.
His bachelor’s in music and piano performance grew into
graduate degrees at the University of Michigan where he explored
his love for collaboration — with dancers, ensembles and singers.
As an assistant conductor at The Met, Watkins coaches singers on
notes and linguistics; he can speak French, Italian and a little German and is learning Spanish. By the time the curtain rises, his work
is often done, though he did take the stage to
play keyboard and glockenspiel in a recent
production of The Magic Flute.
Watkins looks for those places that
draw together musicians and engineers,
people with varied interests who can
share and learn from one another.
It’s what he found in the honors
program at UD, and it’s what he
continues to find as a teacher,
collaborator and conductor:
opportunities to let passions grow.

Unexpected turns
ART CONN ’94
The path to the future is sometimes a jagged line.
Art Conn didn’t set out to become a celebrity stylist dressing
stars like rocker Lenny Kravitz, supermodel Tyra Banks and contestants on America’s most watched show, American Idol. It just kind of
worked out that way.
After receiving his diploma, a degree in communication management, Conn knew one thing: He had a thirst for the California life
and a minivan jam-packed with everything he owned.
The Midwestern native secured a job in an upscale California
retail store just to pay the bills, but after several years, he ended up
discovering a new talent.
“People in the fashion industry, stylists and celebrities, would
ask for my advice while shopping,” Conn said. “They said, ‘you’re
talented’ and told me I had a good eye for fashion. … It was so
strange because I didn’t go to styling school or school for fashion
design.”
About seven years later, a well-known stylist who dresses
Madonna offered Conn a job as his assistant, and Conn began his
work styling singers for music videos, celebrities for talk shows and
extras in TV commercials.
It wasn’t long before he began working for himself, styling his
own way. His first solo job was the Lenny Kravitz music video “California.” He dressed Kravitz, band members, extras and featured
talent.
Since then, he’s become the fashion spokesperson for Marshalls
and is working with singer and TV hostess Carnie Wilson on The
Newlywed Show and David Michael Navarro of the rock group
Red Hot Chili Peppers. For the past five years, Conn has spent four
months each year styling American Idol host Ryan Seacrest and
has helped contestants such as Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks
and Adam Lambert find their personal styles
as they grew to fame. He writes a weekly
fashion commentary for Life and Style
magazine and has appeared on E! Networks’ That Morning Show to discuss
fashion trends.
So much for communication management.
“I guess the life lesson is that you
should go after what you want, even
if it goes against the odds.”

ERIN HIGGINBOTHAM NEALY ’00
Erin Nealy always felt that she had a gift for working with children. She assumed she would work
in a public school or hospital — she was almost
right.
In 2005, Nealy co-founded the Helping Hands Center, a facility
located in Columbus, Ohio, that provides therapeutic and educational services to children with disabilities such as autism.
Prior to helping found Helping Hands, Nealy was the director
and founder for Hugs and Harmony Music Therapy, LLC.
“I noticed that there was a great need for additional and more
collaborative programming for individuals with autism,” she said.
“The existing programming didn’t adequately meet the needs of the
clients.”
Helping Hands began with eight staff members and three
classrooms. Currently it boasts 80 staff members and serves 200
families. The center provides customized classrooms for students in
preschool through sixth grade — either one-on-one or group classes
that ease the transition into a typical classroom setting. Helping
Hands also provides a variety of services including occupational,
speech, physical, psychological and music therapy.
Nealy, who earned her degree in music therapy, understands
music’s unique healing properties.
“Music can cross barriers other tools cannot. It’s a mode of selfexpression anyone can participate in,” she
said, adding that music therapy can help
boost confidence in students and help
reinforce positive behavior.
Therapy aside, music is a part of
Nealy’s identity.
“My parents are musicians,”
she said. “They came from musical
families. I was involved in choir
and playing instruments. I decided
I wanted to use music in my career,
not just as a part of my career, but as
something I do. I feel blessed to be
able to do what I love.”
—Charity Smalls ’10

MATT MOSHER ’04
By the time Matt Mosher graduated with his degree
in finance, his first entrepreneurial venture was already well under way.
He’d built a solid client base for his seasonal lawn and landscape
maintenance service in Birmingham, Mich., and he’d begun to design
and install home landscapes. After graduation, he looked at ways to expand them. By the end of 2005, his annual sales hit $1 million. He nearly
tripled that in 2006.
“I aligned myself with top people who could help me leverage my
business,” he said. “I partnered with the top landscape architect in
metro Detroit and someone who had the proper machinery, and we
took a different approach than usual. We became stakeholders in each
other’s companies so we could market each other.”
Mosher and Associates soon caught the attention of the business
press, and in 2006, Mosher was named to the “20 in their 20s” list of
business up-and-comers in Crain’s Detroit Business.
He then moved into real estate, acquiring and improving properties and opening a maintenance company to service them. It’s thriving,
despite the recession, he said.
Another business, Detroit Green Technologies, conducts commercial energy assessments to help businesses cut energy costs and
make environmentally responsible design choices. His latest venture
is the online employment service Hiredonthespot.com, which connects
employers with qualified job seekers.
Mosher’s early success hasn’t come easily, he said. It required
research, planning and strategic partnerships — plus strong sales
skills, a field Mosher said can get
a bad rap.
“I’m a salesperson that’s not a
salesperson,” Mosher said, discouraging stereotypes. “Sales is
not what people think it is.”
Professional sales
involves education, integrity,
project management, quality
and good service, he said.
“That’s part of every
project I’ve done,” he said, adding
the importance of a top-notch staff.
“Running a business is all about
having good people. I develop
one business, personally put all
my time and effort into it, then
mentor a person to run it and
move on to something else.”

KIM BALL WHITE
Cooking phenomenon Rachel Ray has made the difficult leap: transforming her passion into a dream job.
So has Kim White, her makeup artist.
White has turned her love of makeup into a career that feels more
like one incredible vacation. She travels the world with Ray, experiencing all of the fabulous cities, restaurants and hotels the shows take them.
As a communication major, White initially planned to become a
broadcaster. Her interest in makeup was the monkey wrench in her
plan.
“You never heard, ‘Be a makeup artist,’” she said. “That wasn’t even
on the list.” She managed to break into the business by doing makeup
for her friends in modeling. “Word-of-mouth spread. I just rolled down the hill with it,” said
White, who moved to New York City, where she was hired as Ray’s
makeup artist.
She chronicles daily life on her blog, “Do I Have Lipstick On My
Teeth?” and her Twitter account, @kimwhitemakeup. These social media forums showcase White’s “Mugshot Mondays,” which she describes
as “the day that beauty violators are brought to justice.” Each week
she analyzes and adjusts a woman’s appearance and documents the
process online.
She also recently lent her time and talent to Help-Portrait, where
photographers across the world gave low-income families the opportunity to get their portrait taken. White offered her skills to many people
who had never worn makeup before.
“It was a really good situation,” she
said. “One of the most fulfilling
days of my career. The worst part
of my job is lugging around my
makeup; all those little bottles
create one heavy beast.”
But that’s not a complaint.
She’ll tell you her job and life are a
blast. Her ambition is to create
a product line of her own in New
York, extending her basic
mission for
herself:
“I like making
people feel good.”

Dollars and sense
LAUREN HAUSMANN ’08
Growing up, Lauren Hausmann always wanted to
be a teacher. By the time she was in sixth grade,
she even knew what she wanted to teach: finance.
Because she also grew up with a classmate with special needs,
she decided she could combine the two, which she now does by
teaching a personal finance class to special needs students at
Chaminade-Julienne Catholic High School in Dayton.
Before graduating from UD in 2008 with a degree in special
education, Hausmann took Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University
course at her parish.
“The class was a wake-up call,” she said. “It really changed how I
viewed money.”
Hausmann also became involved in UD’s Lalanne program, a
two-year service program that places teachers in inner-city Catholic
schools. Through this program, Hausmann had her master’s degree
in educational leadership paid for and she received a placement at
Chaminade-Julienne. When she found out Dave Ramsey also had a
high school curriculum in personal finance, she pitched the idea to
the principal. To fund the new program, she applied for and received
the Miami Valley Innovative Teaching Grant. With the help of these
finances, she could start her own financial class.
Hausmann piloted her class, Foundations in Personal Finance, last
year with special needs students a few times a week. The class was
well-liked by the students, but meeting only a few times a week lowered its productivity. This year, Hausmann taught the class every day
to five special needs students, and the effect, she said, was amazing.
The class incorporated learning about debt awareness, budgeting
techniques, retirement preparation, saving and investing advice, and
much more.
“It’s the most fun class I’ve ever taught,” Hausmann said. The
lessons are preplanned; students watch 15
minutes of a DVD daily and then move
on to hands-on activities. The course
often uses computers to integrate
technology.
The students share Hausmann’s
enthusiasm for the course. She
hopes it will be used more in the
general curriculum in the future and
not just piloted in special needs
classrooms. Until then, she’ll continue to enjoy teaching it.
“My kids love the class —
they’re learning a lot, and I’m
learning a lot.”
—Meredith Hirt ’13

around the world
hen the University of Dayton launched the President’s Travel Program last year, it purposely scheduled the inaugural trip to China
— not only a country where President Daniel Curran has traveled
for more than 30 years to conduct his academic research but
a country where University ties run deep. When traveling with
alumni last October, Curran hosted an alumni reception for UD alumni who reside in Shanghai. Nearly 100 alumni, current UD faculty and students who were
studying at Shanghai Normal University that fall semester joined the travelers.
And, the University’s international alumni outreach program was launched.
For decades, UD has been a university of choice for students from the Middle
East, Central America and, more recently, China and India, among other countries. The University is the highest-ranked university in international student satisfaction as measured by the International Student Barometer, the largest survey of
international student satisfaction in the world.
This engagement with peoples from around the world has been deepened
through campus ministry’s immersion programs in Asia, Africa and Central
America and the ETHOS program, in which School of Engineering students use
their academic expertise to enrich communities worldwide.
Upon returning from China, Deborah Read, vice president for University advancement, believed the time was right to launch a robust international alumni
outreach program.
SUMMER
SUMMER 2010
2010
“With more than 1,300 who live outside the U.S., it makes perfect sense for us
to seek the engagement of these alumni with our current UD students who study
abroad each year — and we hope our international alumni will send their children
and other family members to UD, as well,” Read said.
To that end, Read launched the international alumni initiative this spring and
hired Jessica González, whose efforts will focus on building this program. A 1996
graduate of the University, González was raised in Puerto Rico.
González cites the chapter in Puerto Rico, which currently includes 222
graduates, as an excellent example of the international alumni outreach
program. Though Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, the experience of Puerto Rican students attending the University — adjusting to significant language and
cultural differences, for example — is similar to the experience of international
students.
“The Puerto Rico alumni chapter has been in place for several years, literally
mirroring what U.S. chapters are doing,” González said. “They have a calendar of
year-round events and spiritual and social gatherings.”
“Strengthening the UD connection throughout the world is the goal,” Read
said. “We’ve always been an international University. Now is the time to build on
that foundation.”
For more information about the UD International Alumni Network, including
ways to get involved, contact González at jessica.gonzalez@udayton.edu.

CHAPTER POSTCARDS
Who’s got the beanbag?
With more than 200 parks within
Denver’s city limits, it’s no wonder UD’s Denver alumni chapter
spends a lot of time outdoors.
Chapter president Ben Wilmhoff ’99 said
the parks are a perfect place for the 819-member group to stay connected and get involved.
“As chapter president, I like to utilize as
many of these resources as possible,” Wilmhoff
said. “We are always looking for ways to plan
events and activities which will allow us to
take advantage of our unique resources.”
One of these events is the annual alumni
picnic in Washington Park that always features
lots of food, games and sunshine. The chapter
also organizes service events that enable members to get involved in the community. For example, they recently partnered with the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative, an organization
dedicated to maintaining Colorado’s trails, and
will be helping in a trail maintenance project
in late June.
“We like to give back and help maintain
and even improve the quality of these parks,”
Wilmhoff said. “It’s a great way to give back to
the community with fellow Flyers who share
an interest in the outdoors.”
Other activities include brewery tours and
sporting events, including a Colorado Rockies
game this fall.
“A lot of events we do are outdoor-based,
but I want to bring people together from all
57
graduation years,” Wilmhoff said. “The Rockies game, the brewery tour and even the socials
are a great way to bring people together, and
we all have a blast.”
And with such exceptional outdoor re-
sources, why not take advantage of them?
“Our chapter is very high energy and ac-
Denver
tive,” Wilmhoff explained. “We always enjoy
getting together and talking about our days at
UD.”

The same goes for classmate Beth Shelley

we try to honor the places we came from.”
Scollard and Jankowski give a face to annual
giving at the University of Dayton, which is on
track to top $3.1 million this year, an increase
over last year’s mark. Annual giving makes up
a portion of total gifts. Last year, the University
attracted $35 million in private support.

Lessons in leadership
On a trip to Australia in the fall, I visited a rising
political star who inspired me by her willingness to
serve.
It’s no surprise to those who know University of
Dayton graduate Kristina Kerscher Keneally ’91 ’95
that she’s making history — and a difference.
In a faraway continent more than 9,000 miles
from the campus that nurtured her leadership potential, Kristina shook up Australian politics when she
was elected premier — the equivalent of governor — of
the nation’s biggest state, New South Wales. She’s the
(Page 58). “It’s about community and how you use your
faith and education to serve a greater good.”
Kristina and J.P. fit the mold of University of Day-
ton servant-leaders who share a sensibility about the
world. At UD, Kristina says she found soulmates with
“a strong sense of shared values, a shared world view
and the same sense of being responsible for the world
around you.”

Smart, engaging and deeply committed to social
justice issues, Kristina didn’t leave the University of
Dayton armed with two diplomas and a step-by-step
manual for her life. She walked away with confidence, faith — and the realization that “change sometimes comes in a rush.”

learn that the Marian Library, part of IMRI, houses
