How did the Board of Trustees choose St. Catherine University as the new name?
The Board’s unanimous vote was informed by the recommendation of President Andrea J. Lee, IHM and her Cabinet. In turn, a collective and democratic process informed the decision making of the institution’s highest administrators. The groups and individuals consulted included College Council, several Sisters of St. Joseph, and faculty and staff members who attended the Opening Workshop in late August. Despite vigorous discussion about the various options, St. Catherine University emerged as the choice that was simple, elegant and direct. “We have a good deal of synergy around it,” says Sister Andrea Lee.
