Saint Mary\u27s Magazine - Spring 2020

Abstract

In the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic, we discuss the College’s focus on ensuring high-quality academic instruction and implementing online distance learning; and we focus on the President’s Emergency Fund, which provides financial assistance to students. We also take time to celebrate the success of Saint Mary’s Defining the Future: The Campaign for Saint Mary’s, which raised $136 million from nearly 30,000 donors. You’ll also find stories about: The CCIE’s commitment to advancing pathways to equity and inclusion;Professor Helga Lenart-Cheng’s Fulbright studies on how societies use, misuse, and abuse immigrant storytelling;Biology Professor Jim Pesavento’s NSF Grant, which will allow him to unlock the benefits of algae on the environment—and engage students in the process;Student-athletes’ dedication to service; andFaculty, staff, student, and alumni achievements.https://digitalcommons.stmarys-ca.edu/saint-marys-magazine/1014/thumbnail.jp
