president’s letter
T
he fall brings a palpable energy
to campus. Students and Faculty
are meeting and discussing
new ideas, coaches and staff are
encouraging and challenging
our students to become better
athletes and better members of
the Lourdes and greater Toledo
communities. It is an invigorating time of year. Now more
than ever, our students are taking advantage of courses
and opportunities that invite them to become engaged
citizens of the world.
In this edition, learn about study-abroad opportunities
that offer our students, and in one instance, the entire
Lourdes Community, the opportunity to immerse
themselves in exceptional global learning, and cultural
experiences.

Lourdes University has a proven history of providing
our students and alumni with the knowledge, cultural
awareness, and professional skills needed to succeed in
their chosen profession, in any city they choose to
call home.
Lourdes’ educational leaders who have come before me
prepared our University Community to be the successful
institution it is today. My pledge, in turn, is to continue
our mission and position Lourdes as an excellent private
liberal arts institution that will serve students in our region
and from around the globe for decades to come.
Sincerely,
David J. Livingston, Ph.D.
Inaugurating a leader
D
uring his inauguration, Lourdes University’s ninth president
David Livingston, PhD, emphasized student success. “The entire Lourdes
Community must always think critically and creatively. In addition, we need to
be flexible in the face of changes in the external environment, and be a good
global citizen. We must be willing to change as an organization in order to
respond to the new realities of global engagement, technological innovation,
and demographic shifts.”
In the future, Lourdes University will continue to expand its study abroad options, encourage all
students to have an international and multicultural experience during their academic career, recruit
more international students, and embrace the growing Latino population in the US. “If we are
willing to be flexible in our pedagogy, bold in venturing beyond our region, and disciplined in who
we recruit, we can be very successful in terms of educating a greater proportion of society, and in a
different way than we did in the past.” U

D
uring the upcoming accelerated January session, 10
nursing students and 2 Lourdes professors will travel
to a small sovereign enclave in Africa to engage in a
transcultural nursing experience. The small country is
the Kingdom of Lesotho. The constitutional monarchy is
often referred to as the “Kingdom of the Sky” because it is
3,281 feet above sea level and boasts Thabana-Ntlenyana, the highest peak
in Africa south of Kilimanjaro. Bounded on all sides by South Africa, Lesotho
is considered an impoverished area and ranks 3rd in the world for HIV/AIDS
population.
“As our North American patient population continues to represent a more
diverse people, nursing students need to develop a better understanding of
other cultures,” points out Kathleen Jenks, Assistant Professor of Nursing.
“Nothing can replace the experience of hands-on immersion.”
Professor of Nursing Lynne Zajac concurs and offers insight into the
concept of transcultural nursing, which involves holistic care that
encompasses culture, history, and health beliefs. “This Lourdes course
has been designed to provide our nursing students with a tremendous
opportunity to experience it all.”
The 7 graduate and 3 under-graduate nursing students are taking this
opportunity and the course’s learning outcomes very seriously. Professor
Jenks will finalize the itinerary during a scheduled pre-semester visit to the
country that measures just 11,700 square miles and is slightly smaller than
the state of Maryland. The country’s population hovers at just over 2 million,
with an average life expectancy of just 48 years.
Throughout the fall semester, the NUR 450 students will gather 3 times to
learn more about Lesotho culture, government, history, and healthcare,
which will include HIV/AIDS education as well as a service learning
presentation. In addition, they are required to have the necessary
vaccinations. For the Lesotho service learning project, the vaccination
requirements include Hepatitis A and B, and Typhoid. In addition, an antimalarial medication is required for their travel to Kruger National Park, one
of their planned stops.

Charity before

J
ust one year ago, the University launched its first
international study-abroad experience, known as The
Ireland Program. Led by Social Work Chair Terry Keller, and
History Chair Mary Robinson, PhD, 15 Lourdes students
spent 3 weeks last summer living and learning alongside
residents in Tullycross, Ireland. What they took away from
the experience was friendship, knowledge, and a desire to give back.
About Tullycross
“People ask me about Tullycross – and I always start by explaining
that when our group was there, we increased its population by nearly
50%,” notes Professor Keller. “It’s a very quaint and archetypal village in
Ireland. Most residents have lived there their entire lives.”
With a population of around only 50 full-time residents, Tullycross
brings new meaning to the word “small town.” Most of the village’s
population works in agriculture or construction, though the village also
offers several small businesses including a local shop, draper, café, bed
and breakfast, and two pubs.
12 ATLO U R D E S M AG A ZI N E | Fa l l 2 0 1 3 Students give back
Tiffany Scott, a senior business
administration major, says that
the sense of welcome the group
received from the residents
was overwhelming. “When we
arrived, we found that the entire
community had come together
to throw us a welcoming party.
This was my first time traveling
abroad, and I wasn’t sure what
to expect. They made us feel at
home immediately!”
Asked about her experience,
Tiffany explains that one of the
most surprising and rewarding
aspects was learning about
Ireland’s history from the
residents. “They were very
open to dialoging with us, and
answered any question we
asked.”
The experience impacted the
students so much that they
decided to use monies set aside
for a closing celebration to
establish a charitable fund for
Tullycross.
The fund established through
the Ireland Program (which
does not yet have a formal
name) will go toward providing
health services to those in
Tullycross. “Our hope is that
it can help residents with
things such as family support
services, assistance with medical
appointments, and buying
school supplies.”
To ensure that the charity
not only grows but also goes
directly to the services most
needed by Tullycross, Lourdes is
housing the fund with an Irishbased organization known as
Connemara West.
“We are so thrilled that our
students decided to forgo a
closing celebration in order
to create something more
meaningful. It really goes to
show what amazing students we
have,” reflects Professor Keller.
“I can’t wait to see how the
Ireland Program and its charity
grow and prosper in the years to
come!” U

hallmark of the Lourdes Master of Business
Administration (MBA) program is exposing students
to business and its application across the globe
through hands-on experiences that are built into
the curriculum both at home and abroad.
First, MBA students complete a professional
immersion course at home that promotes a better
understanding of the North American business
environment. In this immersion, students choose
from four options:
Consulting
Student teams work with existing small business or nonprofit clients
to conduct analysis, determine managerial priorities, and provide a
series of deliverables that will enable the organization to achieve its
desired outcomes.
Entrepreneurial
Students who want to be creative in developing new
opportunities work with a start-up company in partnership
with a venture capitalist network.
china
Internship
Students pursue their career
interests within a business or
nonprofit organization where
they apply their coursework
and gain real-world
experience.
Sales
Students are matched with
organizations that embrace
highly effective sales
strategies.
The immersion experience allows the students to function within
the business, learning the determinants of salesperson performance,
extrinsic motivation, compensation structures, quota, and sales
territory development.
Global MBA immersion learning experience
In the international immersion course, students travel to a first
world, emerging, or developing market to gain direct exposure and
involvement with that locale’s business environment. “Our faculty,
while serving as national and international business consultants, bring
pressing global business issues to the classroom,” notes Ryan Butt, JD,
Chair of the MBA program.
ATLO URDE S MAGA ZIN E
| Fall 2013 15
The next international immersion programs for the
MBA students include Sao Paulo, Brazil in January
2014, and Beijing, China in May 2014. Because of
the success and interest in the international MBA
immersion, the program has expanded its scope,
establishing the Travelers Program, which will make
these experiences available to the entire Lourdes
Community – alumni, undergraduate students, and
Lourdes employees.
To learn more about the
Travelers Program, visit
lourdes.edu/travelers
“The Travelers Program allows our alumni and
members of the Lourdes community to truly
be citizens of the world,” adds Dr. Butt. “These
encounters offer unique business insight with
visits to local corporations while blending exciting
sightseeing and cultural opportunities. Lourdes does
all the planning for you, allowing even first-time
travelers to have an amazing experience.” U

believed “it is
the supreme
art of the

awaken joy
in creative
expression
and knowledge.”
Known for inspiring students
of all ages, Lourdes education
students and alumni are
enlightening the minds of
individuals across the globe.
More than 550 alumni have
taught over 10,000 students in
pre-kindergarten through 12th
grade in public, private and
charter schools in 19 states and
2 countries.
Student Teacher
in Brazil
During the 2014 spring
semester, early childhood
education licensure student
Heather Abrighach will
travel to Porto Alegre, Brazil
to complete a portion of her
student teaching experience at
the Pan American School (PAS).
During her time abroad, she
will benefit from an enriching
academic and cultural
experience that will allow her
to apply and hone the skills she
has learned from her Education
professors.
18 A world traveler, Heather enjoys
immersing herself in other
cultures. Her travels include
touring 7 European countries in
21 days, studying abroad at the
University College Cork in
Ireland, trekking across the
“Emerald Isle” on her bike with
a tent and sleeping bag in tow,
working as a Fulbright scholar at
a German high school, teaching
pre-school at a US Army base
located in Deutschland, and
finally, marrying her husband
Abderaouf Abrighach in his
home country – Morocco.
“My goal is to become an
international teacher – to
educate children of the world,”
notes Heather. “My husband
and I would like to return to
Germany – where we lived.
Hopefully I could teach in an
international school or on an
Army base, and our children –
Teelilly (age 5) and Saoirse (age
3) – could be educated as
children of the world, rather
AT LO U R D E S M AG AZI N E | Fa l l 2 0 1 3 than only children in Toledo,
including exposing them to
their own American, Irish,
and Moroccan heritages. It
is through my own studyabroad experiences that I made
amazing friends from Germany,
the Czech Republic, Ireland, and
Morocco. It was incredible to
be in Morocco and hear the call
to prayer, since in the Western
world we are so accustomed to
hearing bells ring to call people
to church. It was one of those
things that made me realize how
interesting and different things
are around the world.”
A native Toledoan, Heather,
who already earned her
master’s degree in curriculum
and instruction from another
institution, decided to pursue
her licensure at Lourdes because
“of how the professors approach
education – it is so different than
other schools in this region. At
Lourdes, students are taught
to approach the educational
process from a developmental
perspective. Rather than try
to make the student meet the
standards, Lourdes has taught us
to adapt the standards to reach
the children where they are.”
Heather says that in the
beginning of her Porto Alegre
experience, “I will learn the best
practices from not only Brazilian
and American teachers but
teachers from around the world.
As the experience comes to a
close, I will have learned many
different teaching techniques,
and philosophies to blend with
my American experience and
education. It will make me a
very well-rounded teacher,
able to adapt to the variety and
diversity of students I hope to
teach.” U

S
ince 2010,
business and
leadership
alumnus
Kevin Bargar
has called
Australia
home, after
moving there
with his wife Maree, a native
Australian. Today, he is using
his Lourdes’ degrees to make
an impact as Supplier Quality
Development Manager for
PACCAR, Australia.
PACCAR is a global technology
leader in the design and
manufacturing of premium
light, medium and heavy-duty
trucks under the Kenworth,
Peterbilt and DAF nameplates.
In his position, Kevin works
with existing local and overseas
suppliers on quality issues and
quality improvement initiatives.
“We are also continuously
looking for lower cost suppliers,
so the initial evaluation of
supplier capabilities and
working with them during preproduction is critical to ensure
there are no issues.”
Prior to permanently moving
to Australia and securing
his position with PACCAR,
Kevin worked for the Dana
Corporation for just over 33
years. “I worked at 11 different
Dana facilities in my years with
the company – 2 of those were
in Australia.
30 I was very lucky to have an expat experience and even luckier
for it to be in Australia, where I
also met my wife.”
Kevin returned to the US with
Maree in 2000, and they were
married a year later. “Maree was
born and raised in Australia and
had travelled internationally
but had never been to North
America. After we were married,
we lived in the US for nearly
10 years, during which time
Maree became a citizen. We
both worked on our tertiary
education at the same time as
one another – she at Owens
Community College and The
University of Toledo, and me
at Lourdes. After my parents
passed away in the mid-2000s
we began considering a move
back to Australia in order to
be closer to Maree’s father.”
Today, the couple lives in
Warburton, Victoria – a town
of just over 2,000 residents,
east of Melbourne’s central
business district and known for
its close proximity to both the
Dandenong Ranges and the
Yarra River.
A non-traditional student, Kevin
finished his bachelor’s degree
after 29 years with Dana and his
master’s degree after 32 years
with the company. “The pursuit
of my degrees was more for
personal fulfillment than career
aspirations.
ATLO U R D E S M AG A ZI N E | Fa l l 2 0 1 3 Though, I do feel that my
Lourdes education
helped me while looking for
employment in Australia. Having
both degrees provided me
with the solid experience and
excellent credentials needed in
order to get my resume looked
at more seriously. I definitely
think it helped me secure my
current job with PACCAR!”
Being part of the global
working world, Kevin explains
that having international
opportunities, both in the
workplace and in school, is
crucial in today’s world. “Anyone
in business today is likely to
encounter customers, suppliers,
and/or co-workers from other
cultures and countries. The
more exposure students can get
during their educational pursuit,
the better prepared they will be
in the workplace.”
Asked about his experience
living abroad, he says, “Australia
is a country roughly the same
size as the US but with 23
million people instead of 316
million. I think this makes things
a bit more relaxed. The state of
Victoria has over a thousand
miles of ocean coastline,
mountains, desert and rainforest
all within a 5 or 6 hour’s drive
from each other. With a fourwheel drive you can get away
for camping and not see anyone
else for days. It’s magic!” U

A life of international focus in the
center of Brazil
A
fter passing over a soccer
scholarship with the University
of Findlay in order to attend
Lourdes University, it was clearly
fate that would have Jonah
Koenigseker living and working
in the Brazilian city set to host
the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
“In high school, I took advantage
of the Post-Secondary Option
and enrolled in a few classes at
Lourdes. I found the professors
to be highly qualified teachers
and enjoyed my experience so
much that I decided to pass on
soccer at Findlay because I knew
that Lourdes was the best fit for
me.”
Today, Jonah resides in
Cuiaba, Brazil, the host city
for next year’s world soccer
championships. “My wife Renata
and I decided to move back
to Cuiaba in part because we
were hoping to capitalize on
our talents and skills that we felt
would be useful in the buildup
to the event.”
32 Jonah first moved to Brazil to
live with Renata in 2003 (the
couple then moved back to the
states for several years, before
resettling in Cuiaba in 2011).
“Ironically, we got to know one
another through a Lourdes
group trip to the Rotaract
Cultural Exchange Conference in
Rio de Janeiro. Since Renata was
familiar with the city, we asked
her if she would show us around.
The entire trip was a wonderful
time, and I’m happy to say that I
met my life partner!”
ATLO U R D E S M AG A ZI N E | Fa l l 2 0 1 3 In Cuiaba, Jonah performs
market research for major
corporations such as Proctor
& Gamble and Unilever. “Most
of my time is spent executing
international product studies for
clients. Right now, I’m working
on a multi-country study for
Zurich Insurance. I also teach
part-time at Colegio Maxi high
school. The school is affiliated
with a Texas Tech University
program that allows Brazilian
students to earn an American
diploma, while also finishing
their local curriculum.”
brazil
Asked about his thoughts on students becoming global
citizens, Jonah says that, “it’s important simply because that’s
the way the world is, and the way it’s becoming more and
more with each passing day. Learning foreign languages,
understanding diverse cultures, and sharing experiences with
others challenges our way of thinking and helps us become
more marketable as employees. We also grow to better
understand ourselves and the world around us.”
Life in Cuiaba, Jonah mentions, is more social and communityminded than in the US. “Many Americans can tend to be
more independent-minded and concerned with personal
liberties, whereas Brazilians tend to believe they have social
responsibilities to one another. It’s actually very reflective of
the family-centered atmosphere I felt while at Lourdes.”
Cuiaba is the capital of Brazil’s third largest state, Moto Grosso,
and is located in the exact center of South America. It’s also
near the Pantanal, the world’s largest wetlands.
Find out more online about Jonah’s
experience at Lourdes, and life in his
new hometown of Cuiaba, Brazil!
“Even though Cuiaba is a capital city, its historical isolation
from the rest of the country has left a rich culture, including
many local tales, legends, and myths. One such legend says
that if an outsider should eat the flesh from the head of the
Pacu fish, he or she will be forced (supernaturally) to return
to the city. Of course this is just a legend, but no one told me
about it until after I took a bite. Needless to say, I’m still living
here – and I hope to be for many years!” U

Educating in the

Amanda Marie May

H
aving been inspired to work
overseas through her exposure
to international students
during a graduate assistantship,
Amanda finds great enjoyment
as a neitibu no sensei (native
teacher) of the English language.
“The opportunity to test my own
limits and to grow in ways that I
could not do in an environment
where I spoke the native
language has been incredible,”
notes Amanda.
In September 2012, she began
working at Kintetsunara School,
located in the Nara Prefecture
of Japan, approximately 3 hours
from Tokyo by bullet train (6.5
hours by car). The largest eikaiwa
(English Conversation School)
in Japan, Kintetsunara School
and its parent entity AEON
Corporation, an innovator in
the field of English education in
Japan, offer both classroom and
internet options to study and
master the language.
Amanda was nicknamed
“Majime,” which means diligent,
by one of her students. Having
worked as a tutor stateside, she
says the students she teaches
in Japan generally have a high
respect for their teachers. “At
the same time, they expect
us to know everything there
is to know about the English
language, and like many
students in American
universities, they sometimes
expect there to be a black and
white answer to a question,
when in truth, there are many
gray areas to the language.”
Adjusting to the Japanese
culture has been a tremendous
experience for Amanda. While
the language barrier was “super
challenging,” the aspects she
has found most enjoyable are
Nara’s mountains, the blending
of Japanese culture amongst
modern urban settings, and
of course, the food. “Sushi is
amazing here! I’m pretty sure I
will never eat sushi in America
ever again.”
A voracious reader who also
enjoys listening to music, and
knitting, Amanda also spends
a lot of time writing short
stories, “and trying to get them
published in various places.”
Once she has mastered the
Japanese language, her goal is
to read writer Haruki Murakami’s
works in his native language.
Amanda has begun to journal
and blog about her experiences
and share more about Japan for
those in the Western world. To

Throughout her first year,
the erstwhile educator has
retained her trademark
positive attitude.
“I wouldn’t trade one
minute of my experience
for anything different. I
only wish I could interact
more with the people.”
Taking the steps needed
to accomplish this goal,
she is currently enrolled in

ourdes University is grounded in the values of its Franciscan
heritage, courtesy of our founders and sponsors – The
Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania. In each edition of AtLourdes
magazine, Sister Ann Carmen Barone, OSF, Vice President
for Mission and Ministry, will share with us a glimpse of our
Franciscan Family, its importance in history and relevance
today.
In this second edition of “one Franciscan family,” Sr. Ann Carmen shares how
the Sylvania Franciscans have contributed to communities around the globe.
The world is my
cloister.
Cloister: A place, especially a monastery or convent, devoted to religious seclusion.
A square enclosure surrounded by covered walkways.
For Francis of Assisi the world was the place that was his home, the sky
served to expand his vision, and the dirt and stony paths shaded by trees
were his walkways. And those walkways led him to meet Christ at every
turn. Francis sought out time for prayer and reflection and that led him back
to proclaiming the good news of God’s love to whoever shared the path.
Franciscans continue to embrace the world and its peoples, our sisters and
brothers. The invitation to turn to God is given in our own backyards, in
neighborhoods and farther afield.
The Sylvania Franciscans have an interesting history partnering and
collaborating in this missionary call from South America, to the Pacific
Islands, to Central America, to Africa.
Yes, the world is our cloister as it is with the entire Franciscan family. Yes, we
celebrate the strength and the need of all God’s children as we share in the
mission of larger groups such as Franciscans International and the Franciscan
Action network. We trust in the goodness of God and believe that we have
only to listen. Francis prayed, “I have done what is mine to do. May Christ
teach you what is yours.” Let us hear. Let us embrace the world and the
people in that cloister. U

out for anything that could help
improve healthcare for those
in need. When she moved to

wrote home. “Our hospital is
light years away from hospitals
as you think them. In Scripture,
we hear of the poor who take
the gleanings after the harvest.
Here, the poor can’t get to the
fields. We have to bring supplies
to them.” Later she went on to

to be healthy. The people of San
Pedro Sula are equally deserving
of the gift of life.”

Geoffrey J. Grubb, Provost
PhD, historical theology, Saint Louis University
MA, theology, The Catholic University of America
AB, theology, Saint Louis University
eoffrey J. Grubb, PhD, has served the Lourdes
community for over 28 years as a professor,
department chair, interim Vice President of Academic
Affairs, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences and
now as Provost. While he has made many significant
and lasting contributions to Lourdes and the
community, Dr. Grubb confesses that he wasn’t
always the best student.
From student to professor
“I was a good student in grade school,
but in high school I allowed my studies to
wane a bit. I would say that my student file
probably said ‘student does not work up to
his potential’ and that would be correct,” he remarks with some embarrassment. “As a
student at Toledo Central Catholic, I had a wonderful high school experience. I served
as president of the student council and played drums in the marching band and in
the orchestra for the musicals. I just wasn’t as serious as I should have been about
academics.”
After high school, Dr. Grubb studied with the
Conventual Franciscan Friars, and had intended
to become a friar himself. “I grew up in a large
Catholic family, and personally always felt close
to God. While my commitment to God was always
steadfast, it wasn’t until the friars sent me to study
at St. Louis University that my commitment to
academics changed. I had a course on the New
Testament that really fascinated me, and I found
myself wanting to know more.” His passion for study
eventually manifested itself in his being named to the
Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Sigma Nu honor societies.
He went on to do graduate work at The Catholic
University of America, and notes that “it was a great
time to be there – in the mid-70s – there were brilliant
theologians there like Walter Burghardt, Johannes
Quasten and Avery Dulles, to name just three. They had a profound impact on me.” In the
course of his studies, Dr. Grubb realized he didn’t need to become a friar to love and teach
theology. He could also accomplish his goal as a professor.
That realization led him to
Lourdes, where he came in 1985
to teach in the religious studies
department. “My wife Jenna
and I were happy to make the
move back to Ohio. I was already
familiar with Lourdes from my
experience with the Sisters of
Saint Francis at Central Catholic,
so I knew it would be a great fit.”
Building a
university
During his time at Lourdes,
Dr. Grubb has helped grow
and improve the institution
by working in the areas of
academic program review,
distance learning, enrollment
management, mission
awareness, scholarship, graduate
education, and technology.
Through his leadership, he has
helped Lourdes grow into the
University it is today.
Asked about his work he says,
“One of the great
things about Lourdes
is that we operate in
a very collegial way.
I have been blessed to
be part of a number
of strong teams that
have accomplished
wonderful things.”
One of the recent projects of
which he was a part involved
a collaboration to identify and
integrate Lourdes’ mission,
Franciscan values, and
commitment to liberal arts in
its Core and General Education
curriculum.
“Our team revised the general
education requirements and
incorporated service learning
into the curriculum. We came
up with an institution-wide
service learning requirement for
all students. This is something
that solidifies and manifests our
commitment to our Franciscan
values. I was pleased to see this
component come to fruition.”
Today we are happy to say that
we serve dual populations –
traditional and non-traditional
students.
But his work is not yet finished.
This year, as Dr. Grubb begins
his post as Provost, the first task
he plans to examine is class
scheduling.
Dr. Grubb would also like
to see faculty members reconceptualize some of the
academic courses so that
they can be offered online
and to grow the University’s
international offerings.
“I’m looking forward to working
with the deans and department
chairs in order to refine our
class schedules. For many
years we served primarily a
non-traditional student base,
meaning our students were
working adults who needed
night classes that met once a
week.
Our class schedule needs to
reflect this, with day classes set
to meet the needs of traditionalaged students and an
appropriate evening schedule so
that both groups’ needs are met.”
“It is cliché to say we are living
in an increasingly multicultural
situation. But it is true. This
means it is imperative that
we have an understanding of
cultures and societies different
from our own.

I had the honor of enrolling in a few of Dr. Grubb's classes throughout the course of my time as a student at Lourdes.
Inside the classroom, Dr. Grubb teaches with a passion that makes the course material come to life. I could tell
immediately the material he presented was more than what was printed in the books. His love for Theology and
God was apparent throughout every class. He is the only person I know who, when he gets really excited about
something, speaks in a whisper. As a theology professor, Dr. Grubb shared with us his love for God, his family and life.
Outside of the classroom he is personable and truly cares about the individual before him.

under her belt, Cindy has travelled the globe and
back again, each time seeing the world in a different
light and learning about life from the locals.
A life inspired
The daughter of hard-working parents in Pittsburgh,
she and her older sister were both first generation
college students. “When I was growing up there was
never any doubt about whether or not my sister
and I would go to college – it was pivotal to my
parents that we go. They sacrificed everything to
make a college education available to us. All of my
work, from earning my degrees, to continuing to
learn through travel, has been inspired by their love,
sacrifice, and commitment!”

Cindy became smitten with traveling during
her senior year at Bethany College in West
Virginia. “I studied in Oxford, England for six
months and that began my love of travel.
Being abroad really opened my eyes to
different lifestyles and diverse perspectives.
Subsequently, she has continued to live, work,
and explore different parts of the world. After
receiving her bachelor’s degree, she worked in
Washington DC on Capitol Hill; in Hershey, PA;
and in Madison, WI; before moving to Ohio
where she would earn her master’s degree
and raise her two daughters.
A life abroad
After her daughters finished school, Cindy spent several years traveling
extensively. “Much of my travel has been focused on scuba diving, as that is a
life passion of mine. However, I’ve also volunteered at a wildlife conservation
project in the Petén jungle of Guatemala, and have independently traveled the
back roads of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico.”
And while Cindy has done much traveling, she says she would never consider
herself a tourist. “There’s a huge difference between being a tourist and being
a traveler. Most tourists ‘drop in and jump back out’, rarely leaving the comfort
zone of American culture. When I travel, I like to get out and meld into the
environment as much as possible. I try to meet and learn from the locals. Doing
that has led to some of the most special experiences I’ve ever had.”
One such moment occurred while Cindy was in Yap (a Micronesia Island). “I
wasn’t able to scuba dive due to an ear infection, so instead, I took long walks
deep into the island. One day I passed a small hut – and one of the men sitting
outside called to me asking if I needed a ride home. We chatted and he told
me he was a middle school teacher who was also developing his own cab
company. He offered to provide a personal tour of the island for my friends
and I the following day. As a result of being open to a brief conversation with
a local, I made a new friend, and
was able to see the island from a
local perspective which a ‘tourist’
– encamped in the hotel resort -never would have seen!”
A life at Lourdes
Back from her travels, Cindy
returned to another of her life’s
passions – higher education. As
Senior Administrative Assistant to
the Provost, Cindy is the glue that
holds the University’s academic
house in order.

“Lourdes has phenomenal faculty. Here you see
professors interacting with students on a daily
basis, even outside of the classroom. They make
themselves available at all times and will go out of
their way to help a student.”
Having experienced a variety of higher education
environments both as a student and as an
employee, Cindy says that the culture at Lourdes is
refreshingly unique. “It’s unlike anything I’ve ever
experienced. As an institution, we talk about living
and working the mission, and people truly do that
here. Faculty and staff alike are hard-working, caring
and genuine.
Until you are here and actually experience the
Lourdes culture, you wouldn’t believe how
all-encompassing it is. It’s the most collegial
environment I’ve ever experienced.”
Asked whether or not she will continue adding
stamps to her passport, Cindy remarks, “I’m such
an advocate for having a global perspective, and
in turn, providing opportunities for others to have
cross-cultural experiences. I think that’s also one of
the reasons why I love higher education. It’s about
lifelong learning and getting out and exploring
what is around you! I’ll never stop learning and
exploring – it’s who I am.” U

li Mass, a senior in nursing
and varsity member of the
women’s volleyball team, is
the first Gray Wolves’ four-year
letterwinner in the sport.
Mass was a member of
Lourdes inaugural team
in 2010 and has seen
the program grow
throughout her career.
In addition, the Walbridge, OH native was
recently named a NAIA Scholar-Athlete.
When you arrived at Lourdes as a
freshman to play volleyball, did you
have any hopes or expectations
coming in?
I hoped to become a part of the
foundation of a successful volleyball
program and to help build it from the
ground up. I expected to be pushed to play
at a higher level than my high school and
club experiences.
You will be one of the first four-year
letter winners in Gray Wolf history.
What does this mean to you? How
has the volleyball program grown
since you arrived on campus?
It’s very special to reflect back on my four
years of work and dedication to the team.
Having had the opportunity to be involved
in the athletic program at Lourdes from
the start is very special. It has been
great to be a part of the successes and
challenges along with, of course, growing
as a teammate and person through my
involvement on campus, both in athletics
and other student activities.
Talk about some of your favorite
moments as a member of the
women’s volleyball team, both on
and off of the court.
My greatest moments are the lifetime
friendships I have made. They help you
through the difficult times and the joyous
times. As a student-athlete you forge a
great bond with your teammates.
50 ATLO U R D E S M AG A ZI N E | Fa l l 2 0 1 3 fall 2013 outstanding female athlete
Ali Mass
women’s volleyball team
nursing major
I will never forget living in the apartments
with my teammates, sharing our lives,
food, and experiences, both positive
and negative. Of course, I cherish the
moments when we won matches, too! Competitiveness is a big thing with me
and my family, so doing my very best to
help our team win is what I am all about.
However not having our own facility
hinders the flexibility for practice. They
have done the best they can, though. I
feel that in the years to come, Lourdes as
a whole will be capable of giving studentathletes in nursing school a schedule that
fits the needs of both the student and the
athlete.
Have you had any favorite classes at
Lourdes?
Prior to nursing school, my favorite classes
at Lourdes were Anatomy & Physiology I
and II. While taking these courses, I was
able to build a solid foundation for nursing
school as well as delve deeper in my
passion for nursing.
Being a nursing major is tough
enough on its own, but you’ve done it
while playing volleyball. Have Coach
Greg Reitz and the nursing professors
and staff been supportive to you as a
student athlete?
Being a nursing major while playing
any sport is quite a challenge. The
hours required to be successful can be
staggering. But there is a sense of pride in
that accomplishment, being able to meet
each roadblock or hurdle and overcome it. Coach Reitz and Coach (Mike) Froehlich,
as well as my nursing professors and staff
members have done the best they can to
try and accommodate me as a studentathlete.
My third semester at Lourdes was my
favorite when I took Obstetrics, Pediatrics,
and Medical Surgical I. I had a great
experience in all three classes due to my
interest especially in Pediatric Nursing,
which is what I want to go into after I
graduate.
What are some of your future goals
and how is Lourdes helping you to
obtain them?
After graduation and once I pass my
boards, I want to be a pediatric nurse. In
my final semester this spring, I am hopeful
to have the opportunity to see the work
life of a pediatric nurse. By May, Lourdes
will have given me a solid education
that will have helped prepare me for any
nursing path that I choose. I am thankful
for everyone who has made this possible.
What advice would you give to future
Gray Wolves coming to Lourdes to
participate in athletics?
You must be mentally prepared for the
rigors of college athletics and college
classes. It’s quite a bit more challenging
in every way than high school and club
sports. You have to find balance and
have a tremendous work ethic. But, most
importantly, you must be prepared to be
a part of a family because that is what
makes a program successful.
Outside of the classroom and off of
the court, what do you enjoy doing in
your free time?
In nursing school, free time doesn’t
exist! But I do enjoy my job at Kingston
Residence of Sylvania in which I work as
an STNA, as well as traveling, reading, and
writing.
Do you participate in any community
service activities?
Coach Reitz does a great job of getting the
team out in the community by participating in Kaylee’s Course race for progeria, the
American Heart Association Jump Rope for
Heart, as well as other various activities.
As a team we spent time painting houses
as well as packaging Christmas Gift bags
for those less fortunate. i

Gray Wolves Spi r i t
tanding on the first tee,
James Siebert does not look
like your typical collegiate
golfer. While most college
athletes are between 18 and
22 years old, Siebert is 27
and has already served five
years as a member of the
United States Army. He will
begin his second season with
the Lourdes University golf team this fall,
playing a game he learned from his stepfather. Now a father himself, he works and
goes to school full-time to make sure his
family has a bright future.
What made you decide to enlist in the
army while still in high school? How
has being in the military affected your
life?
Academics weren’t always high on my list
of priorities. I come from a military family,
so I had that strong service background and
decided to enlist during my junior year at
Bowsher High School.
I served with the 464 M.P. detachment
out of Inkster, MI and spent 2004 and
part of 2005 at Guantanamo Bay. Upon
returning from active duty, I volunteered
to spend a tour in Iraq at LSA Anaconda
and Camp Victory, where I worked with
MOUT (Military Operation Urban Terrain)
as convoy security. We were similar to a
SWAT team only we flew in on Blackhawk
helicopters at night.
A reflection from Coach Simon:
“James is by far the hardest worker on the team. He has a work
ethic that is second to none when it comes to growing and
improving. He is always the first one at the course for practice
and the last one to leave.”
“I think he has emerged as a leader because he is a littler older
and more mature than the rest of the guys on the team,” adds
Coach Simon. “He has more worldly experience and it’s really
impressive that he goes to school full-time, works full-time, is
a parent, and still works hard on the golf course. He has a lot of
commitments, and gives his best to all of them.”
52 ATLO U R D E S M AG A ZI N E | Fa l l 2 0 1 3 Prior to joining the army, I wasn’t always
the best kid. I got into some trouble.
I didn’t understand the concept of
responsibility and didn’t have the best
grades. The military became a way for
me to develop critical thinking skills,
which helped me become a better person
in general. I learned a great deal of
responsibility during my time in the service.
fall 2013 outstanding male athlete
James Siebert
men’s golf team
finance major
You were very close with your stepfather. How did he influence you
growing up?
I returned from Iraq in 2006 and remained
in the reserves until 2008. That same year
my step-father, Danny Fitzgerald, passed
away. He was the person who really began
putting the notion of going back to school
in my mind.
My step-father was a major influence
in my life. He taught me to play golf, a
game that I love. He wanted me to go
back to school, and better myself. Most
importantly, he taught me that when you
do something, it’s important to put 100%
into it.
You are also a father. How has
becoming a parent changed your life?
My daughter Kaiya was born in 2011, the
same year I was contemplating returning
to school. It was her birth that really
pushed me to go to college and earn
my degree. I wanted to provide a better
lifestyle for her and my family than what
I could with a high school diploma and a
construction background.
Though you did return to school,
you didn’t start your college career
at Lourdes. Why did you decide to
transfer to Lourdes and try out for
the University’s golf team?
I enrolled at another institution originally,
but within a year transferred to Lourdes. I
just didn’t like the environment at the first
school I attended. I actually came to the
Lourdes campus on a whim and instantly
fell in love with the place.
It was while I was researching the school
that I discovered its golf team. I met with
Coach Scott Simon and he invited me to
try out for the team. I took everything my
step-father said to heart and decided to
fully commit to play for Lourdes.
When I stepped on the tee at my first
collegiate tournament, it meant a lot to
me. It was one of those moments I wish
my step-dad was there to witness. I’ve
played in a lot of amateur events, but
college is a whole different level. It’s tough
out there with lots of good players.
As a non-traditional student and
athlete, Coach Simon says that your
maturity and dedication has helped
you to become a leader on the team.
What are your thoughts on this?
I’ve put in a lot of time on the course both
in season and out of season. Once I started
playing, I realized that I naturally fell into
a leadership role on the team.
You were also named among
the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic
Conference Champions of Character
Team for displaying the five core
values of the NAIA: integrity, respect,
responsibility, sportsmanship, and
servant leadership. What does this
honor mean to you?
It meant a lot to me to earn that honor.
Sometimes you do things and maybe they
go unnoticed. For Coach Simon to see
everything I do and appreciate my work
ethic, then to be commended for it, means
a great deal.
It just goes to show that even when you
might think your dedication is going
unnoticed, others do see the work you do
even if you don’t always realize it.
What are some of your future goals
and how is Lourdes helping you to
obtain them?
As far as golf, I have plenty of goals in
mind both individually and for the team
this year. I’d love to see our team break
the school scoring record again. If we
work hard, I think with the quality of
players we have on the team, we can do it.
Individually I’d like to see my tournament
scores come down to where I think they
should be. I put too much pressure on
myself last year and this year I need to just
go out there and have fun. I only have two
more years of classes so I want to make
the most of my time!
As for my professional future, I am
majoring in finance and hope to earn
an internship with a large business
organization and then pursue a MBA. My
ultimate goal is to start my own financial
analyst firm. Whatever I do in life, you can
be sure I will put in 100% effort. i

endowed funds & scholarships
Lourdes is grateful to the many donors who have
generously set up scholarship funds to assist
students.
Lourdes has two types of scholarships: Endowed,
and Named or Pass-through
Endowed Scholarships:
Endowed scholarships last in perpetuity. The
minimum dollar amount needed to establish an
endowed scholarship is $10,000. An endowed
scholarship can be established upfront with a gift
of $10,000 or more, or it may be paid through
a pledge agreement not to exceed three years.
Once endowed, 5% of the three-year rolling
average will be awarded annually in scholarships
to students. Subsequent donor contributions to
the fund go towards the principle, thus increasing
the awardable earnings. By university policy, the
principle amount of an endowment cannot be
invaded.
Named (pass-through) Scholarships:
Named scholarships are awarded as contributions
are received. Funds do not accumulate. The
minimum amount necessary to establish a named
scholarship is $500 with a commitment to support
the fund annually for at least three years. Funds
that do not have a balance will move to inactive
status until sufficient funds are acquired. Named
funds that are inactive for one or more years may be
discontinued and/or any balance may be rolled into
another fund at the discretion of the Financial Aid
Office.
Scholarship Guidelines Established by Donor:
When setting up a new scholarship fund, several
criteria and guidelines should be considered.
To facilitate the awarding, the more general the
guidelines, the easier it is to award the scholarship.
All guidelines are at the discretion of the Director of
Financial Aid. A donor may consider the following:
n Naming: A fund may be named at the discretion
of the donor.
n Financial need: Students may or may not
be required to show financial need. This is
determined through a student’s Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) – a federal
financial aid form.
n Course of Study: The scholarship may be majorspecific.
n Enrollment Status: It is preferable to award
scholarships to full-time students (12+ credit
hours) because their financial need is the
greatest. Enrollment status options are part-time
and full-time.
n Year of study: A year of study or a number
of semester hours at Lourdes successfully
completed may be designated.
n GPA: Scholarship or a specific GPA or ACT/SAT
score may be a consideration. Lourdes does
require that all students receiving scholarships
are in good academic standing.
n Additional Qualifications of Recipient: Donors
may establish specific criteria of scholarship
recipients (i.e., graduated from a specific high
school) pending approval from the Director of
Financial Aid.
n Acknowledgements: Students receiving
scholarships must agree to participate in
thanking the donor(s).
For more information on setting up a scholarship,
please contact Mike George, Director of
Development and Annual fund at 419-517-8990 or
mgeorge@lourdes.edu.
