Reflecting who we are

ELEANOR LINCOLN, CSJ, SP'46, MAT'90; PROFESSOR EMERITA OF ENGLISH

I have been promoting the idea of a university for St. Catherine for at least 25 years.

I was on a sabbatical leave at Oxford University when I first realized that college denoted an undergraduate institution or the undergraduate part of a university. So when we first established graduate programs at St. Catherine, I began to advocate university status.

When Sister Andrea Lee became president, I remember urging her to think about this change in status. She probably does not remember — but I do. The process of changing the name was meticulously done, and I am one of its most enthusiastic advocates.
