President’s Message
As Marian enters a new academic year, her students are afforded
new opportunities and advancements on campus and off.
Dear Friends,
The start of the new academic year provided me with an
opportunity to reflect on all that is good here at Marian and in our
greater community. After a dry summer, the campus quad is green
again and filled with the joy of smiling students aspiring to reach
their highest potential. A new welcome center in the Stayer Center
has helped us define the main entrance to our beautiful campus.
The transformation in the Hornung Student Center continues with
the addition of a refurbished grill, complete with booths, as well as
an expanded bookstore with a new main entrance. New computers
adorn the Cardinal Meyer Library and new fitness equipment is in
full use in the Sadoff Gymnasium. We also continue to improve
the landscape architecture and create a greater sense of our
religious identity.
“After a dry summer, the
campus quad is green again
and filled with the joy of
smiling students aspiring to
reach their highest potential.”
The conclusion of our 75th anniversary year is upon us and we take
pause to once again thank the members of the Congregation of
Sisters of St. Agnes for their leadership and vision in creating Marian
University. It is only fitting that they named this institution after the
Blessed Mother for whom all things are sacred. It is through their generosity that we were able to host two
volumes of The Saint John’s Bible this academic year. They are works of art that both inspire and remind us of
our important role as shepherds of the Gospel. I encourage you to read about them today and visit campus to
witness their magnificence.
Earlier this summer I was invited, along with 30 other college presidents, to attend a meeting on Interfaith
Dialogue at The White House. Leaders from across the nation shared stories of collaboration among students
of different faiths that celebrate their personal identity, learn about other religions and make a difference in the
world. As a result of this experience, two Marian University students will participate in an educational program
with The New York Says Thank You Foundation that joins first responders from September 11th with people
from around the country to rebuild and repair areas affected by natural disasters. It is a way for Muslims, Jews,
Catholics and others to join hands by helping others. All of our new students watched an educational video
about this experience to prepare them for local service projects in our own city and around our region.
Together we continue to live our mission in a variety of ways. This year Marian instituted a Presidential Mission
Award to assist students with financial needs who are living the mission of the university in their everyday
lives. These students are nominated by faculty and staff, reviewed by a Mission Committee and interviewed
by me. Four such awards have been granted thus far, each student with their own personal story of
determination, love for Marian and faith in their future. This is a true mark of success for any university,
particularly one founded on such principles as service, social justice and community.
Great things lie ahead as we continue on this journey together. May God continue to guide us and bless us
as we embark on the next 75 years.
Sincerely,
Steven R. DiSalvo, Ph.D.

Inspiring spirituality:
Marian hosts Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible
From September through November 2012,
Marian will play host to two volumes of the
Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible, the
only full-size, fine art edition of the
handwritten illuminated Bible commissioned
by Saint John’s University over a decade ago.
“Sr. Mary Noel Brown, CSA, and I were attending
the annual meeting for the Association of Catholic
Colleges and Universities and had an opportunity to
see the collection firsthand,” Kate Candee, Vice
President for Mission and Retention stated. As the
campus closed out its 75th anniversary year, the
Heritage edition seemed a perfect fit with the
University’s celebration of its own history
and heritage.
The original Saint John’s Bible was the first of its kind
to be commissioned by a Benedictine monastery in
500 years, with the goal of inspiring spiritual
imagination throughout the world. Its combination
of ancient methods and materials with modern
themes and technology highlights the importance of
the ancient writings in today’s world, and both the
original and Heritage Edition make a visceral impact
on viewers.
“These volumes will inspire and touch the hearts
and spirits of students, faculty, staff, alumni and the
greater community,” Candee said.
Made up of the artwork of several different artists,
each volume of the Heritage Edition is approximately
two feet tall by three feet wide when open and
weighs between 13 and 20 pounds. The most
experienced printing and binding experts in the world
were involved in reprinting the Heritage Edition,
resulting in a true replica of the original illuminated
Bible. Marian will showcase the books of Pentateuch
and Wisdom.
After being displayed at Marian for the September 8
Founder’s Day event and blessing, the book will be
shown at St. Agnes Hospital from December through
February, the Monroe Clinic from March through May
and return to Marian for CSA Days in June 2013. n

Connecting different faiths and perspectives:
Campus ministry mission trips bring core values to those in need
Each year, ambassadors of
Marian University live the core
values away from campus
through mission trips organized
by Campus Ministry. This year’s
trip was a return to Red Bird
Mission in Beverly, Kentucky,
part of the isolated and
rustic Appalachian
Mountain region.
The Red Bird Mission and
its associated clinic are
located in an area where
both natural and economic
influences have made
the lives of its residents
exceedingly difficult. In
addition to the rugged
terrain, the lack of jobs and
access to supplies and education
manifest in deep-seated poverty.
During last year’s trip, Marian
students spent their week
cleaning, painting and helping

with housing repair and
construction. This year’s trip,
according to Campus Ministry
President Emily Young ’13,
included all of that as well as an
emphasis on interaction.
“It’s been a lot of fun getting to
know more people, especially

with different cultures,” Young
said, “You don’t realize in the
United States how different it is
up here than it is in the South. It’s
really cool hearing their stories
and how they grew up, and how
it’s different from how I grew up.”
Young went on her first Campus
Ministry mission trip as a
freshman at Marian, and has
considered pursuing medical
mission work at some point after
she graduates with her nursing
degree in 2013. Aside from the
experience of traveling, she says
the Red Bird trips have helped her
develop personally.
“I’ve made a lot of
friends through the
experience and it’s
really helped to have
those people there who
help you stay up on your
faith and keep you
motivated,” Young noted
of her involvement.
“I’m very into my faith. I feel

2012 Commencement
With 420 undergraduate candidates, 230 graduate candidates and nine Ph.D. students, Marian’s 2012
Commencement was the final celebration in a weekend devoted to students’ achievements.
In addition to the 72nd
commencement exercises, new
alumni had opportunities to take
part in a graduation mass, a
School of Nursing Pinning
Ceremony and a School of
Education Commissioning
Ceremony as well as a new
tradition, the President’s
Champagne Reception for
graduates. Warm weather allowed
for the ceremony to be held
outdoors on the campus quad,
and President Dr. Steven DiSalvo

welcomed guests and reminded
graduates to appreciate their
accomplishments and that they
will always be welcome at their
alma mater.
“This is truly a time for
celebration,” Dr. DiSalvo said.
“Wherever you are led, please
remember that Marian will always
be your home.”
Dr. DiSalvo was joined by keynote
speaker George Koonce, a former
Green Bay Packer and Director
of Development for Marquette
University’s Urban Scholar
Program. Koonce himself
graduated the following day
with his Ph.D. from
Marquette University. n

Arrested for Aid
Members of the Marian community experience an ‘arresting’
opportunity to help youth in need.
Some Marian professors were
regretting every pop quiz and low
grade when students were given
the opportunity to lock them up
this March — but it was all for a
good cause.
Members of Marian
University’s Criminal Justice Club
“arrested” faculty, staff — and
even a few students — in its first
Jail and Bail Fundraiser, with all proceeds
donated to supplies for Fond du Lac’s Galow Group
Home for Boys.
“As a club, we wanted to help a local organization
that maybe doesn’t receive a lot of funding or
assistance,” said Criminal Justice Club President
Hans Wagner ‘13. “That’s when the club decided
to help the Galow Group Home for Boys in
Fond du Lac.”
The jail and bail fundraiser concept was
Wagner’s idea, and although Lisa McArthur,
program coordinator for criminal justice and
CJ Club advisor, was admittedly skeptical of
its potential for success, she was pleasantly
surprised with the outcome.
“It was way above and beyond our
expectations,” McArthur said. “I was
worried that nobody was going to let us
arrest them, and I thought ‘well, if we make
$500 or $600 I’ll be happy,’ not knowing that
we’d raise over $2,000.”
The grand total for the event was $2,100, thanks to
the enthusiastic participation and fundraising
efforts of the Marian community. Prior to the March
28 event, several Marian students, staff and faculty
members were contacted with offers to participate
by being arrested by Criminal Justice students
and placed in a mock jail in the lobby of the
administration building. Everyone who was initially
contacted also had the opportunity to simply
purchase a “bench warrant” for $25 and avoid being

MARIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE
“The people who work [at Galow] are
a phenomenal group of people and do a lot on
a shoestring budget. There are a host of very
worthy causes, but we wanted to do something
that would stay local and help someone who
maybe didn’t have a lot of money.”
arraigned, processed and held. The majority, however,
enjoyed the opportunity to mug for the camera and
raise money to be released.
In addition to the predetermined arrests, the club
sold mug shots to anyone who wanted their picture
taken in orange Fond du Lac County Jail garb,
complete with a caption for being “most wanted”
for the crime of their choice. Arrest warrants could
also be purchased for $5 on the day of the event and
student bailiffs were dispatched to attempt to arrest
the individual listed on the warrant.
Marian students donate to the fundraiser by paying $5 for a faux mug shot.
“Students could come in and purchase an arrest
warrant and we told them we’ll attempt to arrest
them but if they don’t want to, obviously we’re not
going to pressure them,” McArthur said. “There
[were] a total of 15 that were arrested, that let us go
put them in handcuffs, and then an additional five
people that had the arrest warrant purchased with
their name on it.”
Several different Marian judges who rotated
throughout the day processed arrestees, and despite
the laughter and levity behind the crepe paper jail
bars, the money raised provided help for
a serious need.
The Galow Group Home hosts young men ages 14 to
17 who have been given a last chance by a judge. The
staff at Galow strives to create treatment plans that
fulfill the boys’ court requirements, aid them in
finding employment and encourage them to choose
a more productive way of life.
“Basically it’s a last chance to get their lives together
before they’re sent to jail,” McArthur said. “The
people who work there are a phenomenal group of
people and do a lot on a shoestring budget. There are
a host of very worthy causes, but we wanted to do
something that would stay local and help someone
who maybe didn’t have a lot of money.”
After the fundraiser, McArthur called the group home
for the most-wanted items on its shopping list. The
house is the residence of up to six boys at a time for
typically between 12 and 14 months. Many of these
boys come from troubled backgrounds, and
arrive at Galow with few personal items.

MARIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE
“If they have a boy coming to the home, a lot of times
it’s in the middle of the night and under not-so-great
circumstances, and the boy may arrive with what he’s
wearing and that’s it,” McArthur said.
To make the residents feel more at home, members
of the CJ Club set out to shop with their fundraising
proceeds. In addition to six complete bedding sets,
towels, movies, video games and sports equipment,
they purchased $150-gift cards from Kohl’s, Walmart,
Target and Pick ‘n’ Save, as well as gift cards for
Domino’s pizzas.
McArthur says the boys at Galow were “shocked”
that all of these items were purchased for them.
“When we showed up at the house, it was like
Christmas for them,” McArthur said. “It was so cool,
the fact that somebody did that for them. A couple
of the boys wrote letters saying thank you and how
much it meant to them. I thought ‘OK, boys aren’t
going to get excited about bedding and pillows’ but
they thought that was the coolest thing that
somebody cared about them.”
Planning for next March’s Jail and Bail is already in
the works, with the hope of getting more Fond du
Lac community involvement, especially with local law
enforcement. The student involvement, however, is
a valuable part of the event’s success.
“It’s a nice example for them to see how to get
involved, how to set up an event like that, how to run
it and then after the event what happens next,”
McArthur said. “What was so great about it was it
modeled for the students what giving back is, and
how it feels.” n

Gym Class Heroes played for students in March
Big Band 2012 concert hosts
Gym Class Heroes
Marian University welcomed over 600 music fans
and popular rap/rock band Gym Class Heroes to its
campus on Thursday, March 29 in the Sadoff
Gymnasium for its 2012 Big Band event.
The opening act, Super Happy Fun Club, was
followed by the Gym Class Heroes performing songs
from last year’s The Papercut Chronicles II. The band
was chosen based on student opinion within the
parameters of the available budget.
“The Big Band Committee developed a survey in
which we tried to determine the genre or genres of
most interest among the Marian undergraduate
students,” said Steve Rumbuc ‘12, former student
senate parliamentarian. “Based on these results, we
felt Gym Class Heroes would reflect the wants of a
larger portion of the student body because of their
eclectic trans-genre-type sound.”
This year’s concert saw the best crowd turnout to
date, and was met by an overall favorable response
by students, faculty, staff and other guests
who attended.
Thanks to a fortunate meeting had by a
faculty member, a Marian bacteriology class
had the opportunity to test out the latest
technology of CHROMagar Microbiology,
a French company that produces innovative
chromogenic culture media techniques.
Dr. Susan Bornstein-Forst, a professor of
Biology at Marian, met a representative of
CHROMagar at an American Society for
Microbiology meeting. After hearing about
Bornstein-Forst’s research-based
bacteriology class and lab, Alberto Learner
from CHROMagar offered the professor a
semester’s worth of agar, an algae-based
polymer.

“We look at environmental reservoirs that

down sources for bacteria associated with
bovine mastitis,” Bornstein-Forst said.
“Using bacterial source tracking, we’re
trying to determine the culprits for these
diseases. He was very excited that we
were doing this for our class.”
Agar is typically very expensive, but thanks
to the sample and testing opportunity,
Bornstein-Forst’s students were able to
develop research projects that connected
to real-world skill sets using cutting-edge
technology and materials.
“The beauty of the CHROMagar product
is that it’s called ‘chrome’ because the
dyes in the agar will turn specific colors
according to the type of bacteria,”
Bornstein-Forst stated. “Students loved it
because it was so visual. They find it much
more meaningful to know that they’re
involved in learning activities that address
real-world problems and, especially since
our students come from agricultural
backgrounds, this meant something
to them.”
All of the submissions were displayed at Marian’s
Common Grounds coffee house and on the websites
of local radio stations K107 and KFIZ.

Students present neuromuscular
research
In classes taught by Dr. Maggie Wentzell, assistant
professor of Biology, students aren’t restricted to
books and theory in their learning.
Using snails (Helisoma trivolvis), Wentzell’s students
are able to learn about neuromuscular physiology and
central pattern generators by interacting directly with
an intact brain system. This systemic research gives
students the opportunity to better understand how
the nervous system works in action.

Bugenhagen selected to chair
National Symposium
Marian University’s Dr. Marilyn Bugenhagen
once again presided as the co-chair of the
National Leadership Symposium (NLS), held
at the University of Richmond from
July 13–16, 2012.
Dr. Bugenhagen, who served in this role last
year as well, is an assistant professor of
leadership studies at Marian. As co-chair of
the NLS, she was given the task of
developing the programs and symposium
experience as well as contributing to ideas
concerning how leadership education is
developing in universities as interest in the
topic grows.
The four-day event, coordinated by the
National Clearinghouse for Leadership
Programs (NCLP) and the National
Association for Campus Activities (NACA),
featured prominent scholars in leadership
and served as a professional development
experience for faculty members, student
service professionals and other educators.

“The students in my lab have the opportunity to
visualize how cells interact with each other and with
the muscles they innervate, with all parts of the brain
present,” Wentzell said.
While similar to work that Wentzell conducted as a
graduate student during her time at the University of
Illinois Chicago, this research is new to Marian.
Wentzell was inspired to resurrect aspects of the
project due to her students’ interest in the
relationships between muscles and the nervous
system. Many of her research students are also
looking into pre-physical therapy education, making
the study appropriate in that regard as well.
“Students in my lab work incredibly hard and are
able to master some very difficult concepts,”
Wentzell said. “It is exceptionally rewarding to see
their hard work pay off when they present their data
to the public. Students end up with graduate-level
presentations.”
Wentzell took three of her students to the American
Association of Anatomists meeting this February,
where they presented on Helisoma trivolvis.

project, Motor Neuron Responses to Exogenous

Marian students take the core values
beyond the campus and out into the world

n a time when technology can
make the world seem smaller and
more connected than ever, it’s
easy to experience different
places in front of a screen and
within our comfort zones. One
step away from these comfortable
borders, however, can remind us
of all of the opportunities there
are to be experienced when we’re
willing to have an open heart and
a sense of adventure.
Marian offers a variety of study
abroad options, with emphases
on many disciplines. One place
where Marian’s core values
and travel seem to especially
intersect is the medical field;
medical mission opportunities see
both traditional and nontraditional
students growing in faith and
compassion as they learn in the
wide world around them.
Medical Needs in Nicaragua
There is a growing fascination
with natural medicine in the
United States, but in many
areas of the world acupressure
and healing touch are more
common than antibiotics and
hydrocortisone. Lynda Fields,
a senior clinical nurse educator
at Marian and a pain specialist
17
MARIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE
nurse practitioner, joined a group
from Carthage College in June
for just over a week in one of
the poorest countries in the
world, Nicaragua.
For eight days, Fields, associate
nursing professor Dr. Mary
Polchert and four Marian nursing
students split time between
studying health care, disease and
injury management at clinics and
total immersion in the country’s
culture on the island of Ometepe.
In addition to climbing volcanoes
and learning about the plants,
animals and land, the travelers
brought donations of toys, tools
and other much-needed goods
that they distributed at the
clinics where they worked. These
contributions will help, but Fields
noted there are important items
still missing at the medical
facilities they visited.
“It’s like stepping back in time,”
Fields said. “Even in Managua
[hospitals], they only have
one nebulizer.”
With short supplies at even the
best hospitals, the governmentowned clinics where the Marian
and Carthage travelers worked
stood in even starker contrast to
medical facilities in the United
States. According to Fields, pain
medication is sparse and the
medicines they do have are
often not kept at the optimum
temperature. Dogs roam the
clinics next to waiting or treated
patients and with most of the
drawers in the pharmacy empty,
the staff relies largely on
medicines donated from
companies in Europe. In one
instance, Fields recalls being
especially affected as she helped
a Nicaraguan doctor treat
a young child.
“The doctor and I agreed that this
baby had pneumonia,” Fields said.
“What we were able to give him
was a liquid antibiotic and
Robitussin DM — for an adult.
That’s what we had. So we made
it down to an infant dosage and
that’s what we gave this baby
who was wheezing and had
congestion in his lungs. I had no
nebulizer, I had no bronchodilator,
I had nothing to give this baby,
and that broke my heart.”
Aside from the differences in
resources, the differences in the
FALL 2012
17
kinds of difficulties faced in
Nicaragua were also drastic.
“Their diseases are very different
from ours because of the polluted
water, the water supply and
because there’s so much
openness. They don’t have
homes like we have
where we close the door
at night,” Fields said.
“You have knife injuries,
you have tarantula bites,
scorpion bites, parasitic
diseases and you have
also some socioeconomic
diseases.”
This was Marian’s second
year of partnering with
Carthage on this trip, and
Fields’ first time going
along. She has been
asked to go back next year, and
is eager to educate the campus
community as to how they can
help from home.
“We can’t upset anybody, but
there are so many things that we
can help out with to help mankind
in this third-world country, and
that’s one of the biggest things
that I’m going to try to get our
university involved in,” Fields said.
“We bring the Western medicine
and the Western techniques
with us to the mountains. These
people have nothing but the land
around them. They are truly
survivors in the world that
they live in.”
Crossing Borders in Africa
and America
For one Marian student, a passion
for traveling to help others started
abroad and has come back to
being a bit closer to home.

Kelley King ‘15, who is currently
pursuing her Master’s in nursing
at Marian’s West Allis center,
worked as an intensive care nurse
for a decade before going on
a medical mission trip to South
Africa in 2006. After spending
“The doctor and I agreed that
this baby had pneumonia.
I had no nebulizer,
I had no bronchodilator,
I had nothing to give this baby,
and that broke my heart.”
This experience, like the one in
South Africa, was a turning point
for King. Put in charge of infection
control, King says that when she
was faced with 22,000 people
needing care it made her realize
that she had not quite fulfilled her
calling in nursing.
“At that time I realized,
for the first time in my
life, I was really walking in
prayer every single minute
of every single day for
two weeks,” King
reflected. “And I realized
at the time that I needed
more education so that I
could be better equipped
to serve my community
at large.”
time caring for AIDS-afflicted
children in the orphanages and
schools in South Africa, King
returned to the States with a new
appreciation for her profession
and her country.
King started taking classes in
January 2012 at Marian’s West
Allis center. Right away, a
comment from one of her
professors validated that she was
on the right path.
“When we got back and touched
down on American soil, it had
really done something in the
hearts of each one of us in the
sense that we realized that we
really do live in the finest country
in the world, truly. We’re all
well-cared for,” King said.
“He came up to the table and said
‘I want to thank you so much for
coming back to school in your 50s.
You nurses have so much to bring
to the table,’” King said. “Those
tiny things that people say to you
in a positive respect just keep
you going.”
From this experience, and from
seeing the devastation suffered by
Hurricane Katrina victims in 2005,
King joined the American Red
Cross. As a Disaster Relief Nurse,
she has worked and helped
people nation-wide. In August of
2011 she was specially requested
because of her knowledge and
experience as a caseworker with
disaster relief when Hurricane
Irene hit the East Coast.
King will continue to work with
the Red Cross, and hopes to
become a clinical instructor
after she has completed her
coursework at Marian. She says
that she would be interested
in the medical mission trip to
Nicaragua but is regardless sure
to maintain Marian’s reputation
as a university that builds good
global citizens, at any age or
education level. n
Spring sports recap

Sabres got out to a 7–5 start
in league play, but wound up
finishing 8–14 in the
Northern Athletics
Conference (NAC) and
16–22 overall.
Season successes included
sophomore Sam Forkert
throwing the seventh
no-hitter in school history
when he struck out 12 in
a 1–0 win over Finlandia,
earning him honors to the
D3baseball.com Team of the
Week for his efforts. The
following week, sophomore
reliever Brandon Winfield
was honored to the team for
capturing a win and a save
in relief.
In addition to earning
Marian Male Student–

for the second straight year,
senior catcher Anthony
Porcaro was also named to
the NAC All-Sportsmanship
team. Outfielder Josh
Gruenke represented the
Sabres on the NAC
All-Freshman squad, while
senior pitcher Jesse Blum

Marian in innings pitched
and games started, and
ranked second all-time with
14 shutouts and third with
374 strikeouts.
men’s TENNIS
Marian won two of its final
three matches of the
regular season, but fell
just shy of making the
conference team
tournament, finishing 3–7
overall, 3–6 in the NAC.
Singles and doubles
standout Jory Lawson was
the team’s lone First Team
All-NAC selection.
The senior captain went 5–5
in No. 1 singles and 4–6 in

Championship. Through the
first two rounds, which took
place at Whistling Straits/
Irish Course in the fall, the
Sabres sat in seventh place
overall. In the final two
rounds at Stonebridge C.C.
in the spring, however,
Marian turned in the
second-best team score and
placed two golfers in the
top 10.
Junior Cory Ashbeck was
one of only two golfers to
break 80 in each of the final
two rounds and finished
tied for sixth. Freshman
Max Richardson shot a 79

Making the Mallards: Sam Forkert
by Luke Pattarozzi, Sports Information Director
Many student–athletes
spend their off-seasons
staying active in recreational
sports, and some take it
more seriously and to the
next level. Sam Forkert ’14
is the latter, and used the
summer before his junior
year at Marian to work
hard while he played.
Even rarer than the no-hitter he
threw back on March 25, 2012,
left-hander Forkert has turned
a 10-day contract in the
prestigious Northwoods League
into a full season for the
Madison Mallards. Prior to this year, only three
Marian Sabres have had this opportunity in the 19year history of the league.
The Northwoods League is a 16-team wood bat
league made up of the top college talent across the
nation competing in a 70-game regular season
schedule from June–August. In a league that
features mostly NCAA Division I and junior college
players, Forkert is one of just 14 NCAA Division III
players and the lone D3 player on the
Mallards’ roster.
“It is great for Sam to be competing in one of, if not
the best, collegiate summer leagues in the nation,”
Marian University Head Baseball Coach Jason
Bartelt said. “He is not only representing Marian,
but the Northern Athletics Conference and all of
Division III baseball, making the best of his
opportunity by turning a 10-day contract into
a summer-long contract.”
“Coming from such a small school, it feels good to
represent Marian in a league with guys coming from
such big schools,” Forkert said.
After making eight relief appearances for the
Mallards while compiling a 1.88 ERA with 14
strikeouts over 14.1 innings, Forkert was called
upon to make his first Northwoods League start. Up
against Lakeshore’s Chris Cotton out of Louisiana
MARIAN
UNIVERSITY
MAGAZINE
UNIVERSITY
MAGAZINE
20 20MARIAN
State University, Forkert had his work cut out for
him; Cotton went 7-0 with a 1.59 ERA over 36
appearances for the Tigers in 2012, and helped LSU
get to within one win of reaching the College
World Series.
Unaware of his opponent’s background, Forkert
went out, pitched and held his own. Despite taking
the loss, he threw four innings and allowed three
runs on three hits, but walked away with
a new perspective.
“I didn’t realize who I was pitching against until
Coach Bartelt told me after the game,” Forkert said.
“Cotton threw as hard as I did. He hit his spots. I
took that start and saw what I needed to do in order
to get where he is and found as long as you throw
strikes and get outs it doesn’t matter where you
come from.”
Since then, Forkert’s endured a few humbling
performances, but it’s been part of the learning
process.
“The main thing I learned from being here is how
hard these guys work, not only on the field, but off
the field, too,” Forkert said of his experience in
Madison. “I realized that I was used to playing based
off the talent I had already. Now I see the kind of
hard work it takes to get where I want to be. I’m
going to work harder at it than I ever have before
and see where it takes me.” n
Sabres welcome new sports staff
The 2012–2013 academic year will be an exciting
one for Sabre athletics, with a number of fresh faces
both on the fields and courts and on the sidelines.
In addition to the incoming freshmen that will be
new to the teams, there are several new coaches
and administrators.
Both men’s and women’s hockey will have new
head coaches at the helm coming from St. Norbert
College, with A.J. Aitken steering the men’s team
and Jamie Kivi for the women. Duane Woeshnick,
the interim head coach for men’s golf last spring, will
step into a permanent role as the leader of both the
men and women golfers.
John Frausto will serve as head coach for the men’s
tennis team in addition to the women’s team, and
women’s soccer has a new fulltime assistant coach
in Jillian Sauer, previously a trainer at Anytime
Fitness in Fond du Lac. The head coach for the
women’s soccer team, Jason Murphy, retains that
role in addition to serving as the new Director of
Athletics, a post he has held since March.
New coach or old, all of Marian’s teams will benefit
from the fundraising efforts of new Advancement
Officer for Athletics, Rich Eckert, who previously
worked for the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference. n

Led by Leadership Studies Department Chair and
Doctoral Program Director Dr. Nancy Riley, the
Higher Learning Commission-accredited program
offers emphases in Educational Administration,
Curriculum and Instruction Leadership and
Leadership Studies. In addition to stellar faculty,
it boasts a uniquely flexible program that
combines the best of the traditional cohort model
with an enrollment structure that allows students
to enter or exit based on their own needs.
To complete the Ph.D. program, students are
required to complete a minimum of 45 credits
beyond a master’s professional degree and 15
credits of dissertation research. The nine doctoral
graduates of 2012 represented all three of the
Ph.D. concentrations at Marian, with individual
research done on a variety of topics.
The 2012–13 academic year brought a fresh crop
of doctoral students in all three disciplines.
As they move through classes such as
Foundations of Research, Organizational Culture
and Leadership for Social Change, last year’s
large graduating cohort will no doubt inspire
and encourage them on their academic journey.
While not an easy endeavor, earning a doctoral
degree holds a high level of prestige, and
Marian’s graduates are held in high esteem.
“We’re very proud of our role in developing
future leaders of society who must deal with
complex issues and ideas,” Riley said.
“Challenged to think theoretically and critically,
our doctoral students continue to made
significant contributions to the field

As the program continues to grow in reputation
and prevalence, it will still offer the values-based
education that makes a Marian degree of any
level so valuable. A Ph.D. is an admirable
achievement, but by earning it at Marian
these individuals ensure that they are both
mastering the skills to lead as well as
maintaining their careers and time with family.
With the values of community, learning, service,
social justice and spiritual traditions found in
every facet of the program, Marian’s doctoral
program advances forward while advancing the
lives and education of its participants.

How education gave me self-worth
By Gina Anderson ‘12, as seen on www.huffingtonpost.com. Reprinted with permission.
This fall, Gina Anderson is
attending the University of
Central Florida’s Industrial/
Organizational Psychology
M.S. program. In this excerpt
from the Huffington Post, she
tells how her time at Marian
led to this accomplishment.
When I wasn’t accepted to
the Working Families Grant
(WFG) Program at Marian
University in Wisconsin, I
enrolled in classes anyway
despite knowing there was no
way I could afford to go back
to school full-time and pay my bills. After a decade
of working at car dealerships, I was burnt out, and I
wanted more — for my daughter, for myself.
It was about two weeks into the semester when I
received a call from the university notifying me of
a program opening; I went in for an interview. My
story finally resonated with the program leaders, with
whom I had spoken so candidly about the struggles
I encountered in my 31 years.
The program is a unique collaboration of an
anonymous donor and the Congregation of Sisters
of St. Agnes that provides funds to single parents
like me who possess the desire and determination
to achieve a four-year degree, but are unable to do
so without the funds, which help offset educational
costs and monthly living expenses including rent,
food and childcare services.
I may not have known it then, but my self-worth
depended on my acceptance to this program. My
confidence was at an all-time low, I had been laid off
from my most recent position as a finance manager
at a car dealership…[and] I had just ended a six year
abusive marriage. Divorce did not erase the effects of
being in an abusive relationship, and my self-esteem
suffered tremendously.
Working in the car business did help me discover
something: That I was great at helping people work
through their issues. Colleagues referred to me as
their on-site psychologist.
25
MARIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE
That, coupled with my experience
in an abusive relationship, is what
drove me to pursue a degree in
psychology. Originally, I wanted
to study abuse and addiction, but
I realized that with my business
background, I would get further
ahead by focusing on Industrial/
Organizational Psychology (IO).
I found that’s where my true
passion lies.
My 14-year-old daughter Ally is
aware of the importance of
education because she sees how
hard I work. I’ve shown her that
it’s possible to obtain a higher
education regardless of the hand you were dealt. I
became pregnant with Ally when I was just 19, and
was a single parent before I even gave birth.
In May, I will graduate from Marian with a B.S. in
Psychology, completing the four-year program in just
three years. Earning my bachelor’s would never have
been possible without the WFG Program. If I hadn’t
been accepted, chances are halfway through the
program I would’ve dropped out and worked a job
that wouldn’t allow me to reach my full potential, both
academically and financially.
In addition to the stellar education I’ve received, I
live in a nice apartment and there’s food on the table
because of this program, which also allows those
enrolled to receive budget counseling, ensuring that
the student is balanced and no aspect of their life
is suffering.
What about that plummeting self-confidence? Well,
this program has really helped me gain it all back.
I realize I’m a lot smarter than I ever gave myself
credit for, and I think that my daughter sees that,
which has helped her realize she can be a
strong woman.

peers to serve as the student speaker at the May

Marian launches Athletic Hall of Fame
during Homecoming 2012
With a new look for a time-honored tradition and a new way to give credit to star student–athletes
of the past, it’s already been an exciting autumn for Marian University Athletics. Sometimes,
the best way to keep a treasured tradition alive is to remake it as something even better!
That’s why this year’s Homecoming festivities featured a change from previous years.
Alumni gathered on October 5 and 6 for sporting
events, a tailgate party and a festivity-filled weekend
that included the first Hall of Fame Sabre Golf
Classic and the inaugural Athletic Hall of Fame
Induction Ceremony.
The 2012 Hall of Fame inductees were:
Brian Gillogly (Coach, Baseball), was the first
baseball coach at Marian, with a winning average of
over 90 percent. Gillogly led his Sabres to 11 conference
championships in his 12 years of coaching, and was Lake
Michigan Conference (LMC) Coach of the Year eight times.
He earned various other coach of the year accolades for
his team’s award-winning players, including the 1993
Baseball team.
Kerri (Holz) Huebel ’01 (Volleyball, Women’s
Basketball), lettered in both of her sports and still holds
the school record for matches, sets and assists in
volleyball. Huebel never lost a conference match, qualified
for the national tournament twice and was also named
LMC Player of the Year in 2000. She is still ranked in the
school’s highest records for three-pointers, starts, assists,
steals and scoring for basketball.
Casey Jackson ‘90 (Men’s Basketball), spent only
two seasons with the Sabres but led the team to its best
record in school history in the 1987–88 season and was
a two-time All-LMC First Team selection. He achieved
All-WCIC and NAIA All-District honors and still holds the
highest scoring average per game at 16.6 points.
Tanya (Leonhard) Wiesner ‘97 (Women’s
Basketball), lettered all four years that she played and
received All-LMC honors each season, including Rookie
of the Year. Leonhard also received NAIA All-Region
and Third Team All-American honors, as well as an AllAmerican selection. She continues to hold school records
with 1,958 career points, 19.2 points per game and the
highest number of field goals, free throws, rebounds,
rebound average and steals.

Bruce Prall (Administrator), entering his 40th year at
Marian, Prall’s résumé includes being the school’s first
athletic director and establishing women’s basketball as
the school’s first sponsored sport in 1970. He has coached
both men’s and women’s basketball and hired some of
Marian’s most successful coaches, including fellow
inductee Brian Gillogly. Prall is currently Marian’s faculty
athletic representative and a chemistry professor.
Paul Sanchez ‘94 (Men’s Soccer), lettered all four
years that he played, which included four NAIA District
Playoffs and an LMC Championship. The defender earned
All-LMC, NAIA All-District and All-Area honors as a
sophomore, and was awarded an NAIA All-American
honorable mention for his 15-point junior season. Sanchez
closed out his career as a Sabre with his third straight
season as an All-LMC and All-District selection.
Mike Schaible ‘94 (Baseball), lettered all four years,
was a four-time First Team All-LMC and All-District 14
selection and a two-time All-Midwest Region and NAIA
All-American honorable mention pick. He received both

for Jeff Hencke. Several other members earned honorable
mentions, All-District and All-Region honors, as well as
All-American honorable mentions.

Alumni Spotlight: Andrea Hay ‘08
by Andrea Hay ‘08
We often hear about
alumni who fell in
love with Marian
on the first campus
tour, but some
Sabres take longer

campus. Andrea

but it was the

her success.

manager at a
television station — I’m living the
