“In 1972, Dr. Mooney, you graduated
from Saint Mary's College and stepped out into
the world to begin your career, and like the
dance of multiplying rings created as a stone
taps water, your life has continued to impact
those you have met and have worked with since
you left Saint Mary’s. Today we celebrate
the fact that your life experiences have now
brought you back, back to the place that instilled
in you the strong commitment to excellence and
service.” |

the Parents: |

the love of neighbor.” |

Sarah
Sullivan Bigelow ’96,

leader with whom we share our very foundation,
this Saint Mary’s education. Alumnae who
were challenged by the same professors and developed
spiritually in the same spaces as our new leader
are eager to collaborate in making our shared
vision for this college a reality.” |
| From
the Faculty: |
 |
Donald
E. Miller
Chair, Faculty Assembly
“On this great day, we the faculty greet

priorities right for leading a Catholic institution
for women.” |
