From the cover:

Dear Friends:

I am pleased to share with you this issue of Anna

Maria College’s Annual Report. When the year

began, there was much concern about the impact

of the nation’s economic challenges on the College.

Needless to say, we have experienced the realities

of these difficult times and continue to move

forward carefully and cautiously.

But I am proud to report that we have completed

an extraordinary year at AMC … and more good

things are on the horizon. Our success and growth

reflect your commitment and dedication to this

institution. We would not have achieved and

exceeded our goals without your generosity and

support. Please know that you have my sincere

thanks … offered to you on behalf of our students

who are the ultimate beneficiaries of your abiding

commitment to Anna Maria College.

This past year the College continued to find

success in the implementation of “Vision 2012”,

our Strategic Plan. Examples of this progress can be found in the stories and information contained

in this Annual Report. But I often have to remind people that the title of the Strategic Plan is more

than “Vision 2012” … it is “Excellence at Anna Maria College.”

More than just a focus on our Catholic and Sisters of Saint Anne identity; more than growth

in enrollment and development of programs and services; more than increased faculty and staff

and a commitment to professional development; and more than promoting the College’s image and

resources … we want to do things well. We want to be known for the quality of our programs and

people. We want to be a college of excellence!

There is a powerful quotation from an unknown author that states it well. “Excellence is the result

of caring more than others think wise, risking more than others think safe, dreaming more than

others think practical, and expecting more than others think possible.”

In the past year and in the coming years, the College has cared more, risked more, dreamed

more and expected more. And we have been successful on this path to excellence. Please continue

to support this College. We need you today … and we need you to insure a tomorrow of excellence for

our students.

Your support of Anna Maria must be consistent and persistent … just as our efforts towards growth

and development must remain constant. Your support and our efforts will together make true what

Aristotle teaches about excellence: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but

a habit.”

Thank you for all you do for Anna Maria College!

Sincerely,

Jack P. Calareso, Ph.D.

President

Scoring an “A” in Academic GrowthGrowing Anna Maria College takes much more than developing a Master Plan and adding new buildings and athletic fields. In order to fulfill its Vision 2012: Excellence at Anna Maria, the College is also focusing on academic programs, exploring opportunities, and adding new initiatives to ensure that students continue to receive the highest level of education possible. Here are a few ways AMC is achieving excellence.

For a history major, there is no better way

to learn about a city’s past than to spend

a week immersed in its culture. Sophomore

Greg Ballassi had the opportunity to do

just that during his trip to Rome as part

of the AMC Honors Program.

A Waterford, CT native, Greg learned

about Anna Maria College from his mother,

Yannoula Thanas, class of 1981 and 1983G

MBA. “She put AMC on my list of colleges

to explore,” states Greg. “After visiting

the campus and learning more about the

small class sizes and personal approach to

education, AMC began to move to the top

of my list.” The financial aid package was

also a draw for Greg and the new Honors

Program piqued his interest. “I was able

to sit in on one of Dr. Paul Russell’s classes

during a visit to campus,” shares Greg.

“It was a great experience and definitely

made me more interested in studying

at the College.” Paul Russell, Ph.D.,

Professor of History and director of

the Honors Program.

Accustomed to being on his own, Greg

didn’t waste any time becoming involved

at AMC. He is a member of the drama club,

the chorus and the chamber choir, and was

the frosh publicist last year. He is also not

afraid to make his own fun. “I believe that

you have to carve out your own path in life.

Find what works for you and then make it

happen,” claims Greg. “I don’t like to sit

around and wait for things to come to me.

Sometimes I will get a group together to

go shoot hoops or throw a Frisbee around.

Just recently, I organized a game of ‘man–

hunt’ on campus. We had a great time,”

he adds.

Greg is one of the resident assistants

on campus and takes his responsibility

seriously. His studies are also a priority

and the Honors Program has opened up

opportunities for Greg to really expand his

mind. “Although there are some hurdles

and challenges, what I like most about

being in the Honors Program is that our

professors allow us to delve right into the

heart of what we need to learn so that we

can move full–steam ahead and really

study the subject in depth,” he explains.

Professors Jan Evans, Ph.D., and James

Bidwell, Ph.D., recently joined Dr. Russell

to teach Sophomore Honors Students.

In addition to the trip to Rome, the

Honors Program hosted excursions to

the ballet, lectures and other cultural

events. Dr. Russell always made sure that

the students were well–prepared for their

outings so that they were truly a learning

experience. Prior to their trip to Rome,

Dr. Russell supplemented the typical

history course with classes that would

help this ancient city come alive for his students. Before the trip to the

Russian Ballet, the students took a

ballet class. “Learning ballet was quite

interesting,” quips Greg “It helped

us understand the difficulties of this

profession. It was also fun,” he adds.

“Dr. Russell joined us and was able to plié

with the rest of us. I am sure this will be

one of the great memories that I will take

with me when I graduate AMC.”

For Greg, his overall experience at

Anna Maria has been very positive and he

believes that he is learning just as much

outside the classroom as inside. “To me,

AMC is a microcosm of the real world. Even

though it is small, it functions on a much

larger scale. But because of the close–knit

community, you can really get involved in

what’s happening and form relationships

on a personal level,” states Greg. “That’s

what makes AMC special.”

In July 2008, Anna Maria College faculty,

Sue Eliason, Ed. D. and Chris Holmes, Ed.

D., realized that their dream of creating a

place for faculty to focus on scholarship,

research and teaching would finally come

true as they accepted a grant from the

Davis Educational Foundation to launch

the Center for Teaching Excellence at AMC.

With the mission “to recognize, develop,

implement, and evaluate innovative and

effective teaching and learning strategies

that foster student engagement,” the

Center for Teaching Excellence is assisting

the College in fulfilling its vision to grow

in excellence.

Both Sue and Chris had their sights

set on establishing a faculty development

center for years. For Chris, understanding

the need for such a program stemmed from

her own research with her dissertation

focusing on faculty perceptions of

teaching. “During my research I discovered

that teachers need to talk about teaching

and reflect on effective practices in order

to improve,” Chris explains. “Teaching can

be a lonely profession. Teachers need to be

encouraged to find ways to collaborate and

talk with one another to ensure that they

continue to practice excellence in their

chosen profession.”

Joining forces, Chris and Sue wrote

the grant for the Center for Teaching

Excellence at Anna Maria College and were

both overjoyed when the Davis Educational

Foundation threw its support behind their

efforts. A Steering Committee, including

Anna Maria College has been offering

academic programs to adult students

for over 30 years, graduating some of

the community’s leaders in fire service,

business, education and criminal justice.

Understanding the pressures and time

constraints facing adult learners, AMC

has always tried to stay ahead of the curve,

exploring new programs and learning

formats to meet their needs. Leicester

resident, Ferol Smith, joined the AMC

community of learners and scholars one

year ago, and believes she is benefiting

greatly from the new opportunities she has

discovered through the College’s Division

of Graduate and Continuing Education.

Ferol knew it was important for her

career to continue her education but she

was struggling to find both the right fit

for her busy schedule and an academic

program that would help her grow

professionally. Having studied business

administration as an undergrad, like

many others, Ferol thought obtaining

her MBA was the next logical step. Then

she discovered the Masters in Public

Administration (MPA) program at Anna

Maria College. Not only did the course

schedule address her lifestyle demands,

receiving an MPA would provide her with

the knowledge and expertise she would

need to continue to grow professionally

the Dean of Academic Affairs, academic

division chairs and representatives from

other areas of the College, was set up to

help advise the Center to ensure a high

degree of investment and campus–wide

collaboration.

In just one short year, the Center has

been able to initiate five specific areas of

interest to support faculty development

including action research projects,

mentoring programs, observation

opportunities, and lunch and learn

sessions on topics of interest to faculty.

To Sue and Chris’ delight, all of the 51 full–

time faculty members have participated in

at least one aspect of the Center’s menu of

development opportunities. In particular,

the action research projects have gotten off

to a great start. “These initiatives assist

faculty in looking at teaching methods for

their own area of expertise,” Sue shares.

“To date, three projects are complete and

four more are in process.” Joan–Beth Gow,

who is also profiled in this report, is one

of the faculty members in the process of

researching the use of case studies in

teaching science. “Her work, as well as

the work of the other researchers, will

also be published,” Sue adds.

Development work with adjunct

professors is probably the most unique

project undertaken by the Center so

far. “In general, adjunct professors feel

disconnected and out of the loop, and

rarely have the opportunity to engage in

college–hosted functions,” Chris explains.

Through the efforts of the Center, this

paradigm is beginning to change at AMC.

This past year, two half-day programs were

held to address the needs of the College’s

adjunct staff and two more are being

planned for this coming year. “It’s a win–

win for everyone involved,” claims Sue.

“We have already seen some of our adjunct

faculty members become more involved

with the AMC community, volunteering to

be a mentor or share ideas.” “That’s what

it’s all about,” adds Chris. “Collaboration

and communication. That’s the key to

excellence in teaching.”

in the non–profit world.

“Until recently, I worked in for–profit

and thought that an MBA was the only

way to go,” comments Ferol. “I applied to

Anna Maria and then learned about the

College’s new MPA program. I immediately

knew that this was the right path for me.”

AMC’s MPA program was the right

choice for Ferol. After five courses, she is

already realizing the positive impact her

course of study is having on her current

position as the Operations Data Manager

for Easter Seals of Massachusetts. The

accessibility of the classes at the College’s

Worcester site and the flexibility of

the professors also make the program

fit in well with her work and family

responsibilities. “The Worcester site at

Prescott Street is so easy to get to,” shares

Ferol. “It has plenty of parking and the

area is well–lit and safe at night. The

professors are also terrific. They really

understand that adult students have other

commitments and they work with you so

that you can arrange your priorities and

keep up with your classes,” she adds.

Ferol believes that the quality education

that she is receiving at AMC will result in

a degree that will mean something when

she graduates. She is also looking forward

to the MPA program’s move to an online

format, which is expected in the spring

semester of 2010. “I have no doubt that the

move to online will ultimately benefit adult

students as it will allow more individuals

to access an AMC education,” states Ferol.

“The faculty support and connection with

fellow students will continue no matter

how or where the courses are taught.

That is what makes AMC unique,” she

continues.

In addition to the MPA program, AMC

will be offering a bachelor’s in fire science,

and masters’ degrees in emergency

management, justice administration and

criminal justice online.

Despite the tough economic times in

Massachusetts and the country as a whole,

Anna Maria College is experiencing

exponential growth unlike any that the

College has experienced in its 63 year

history. On August 26, 2009 AMC

administration, faculty and staff welcomed

its largest class, with over 475 new

students enrolling on campus bringing

the total number of undergraduate

students to a record high.

With the vision and leadership of the

College’s 10th President, Jack P. Calareso,

Ph.D., AMC is making significant progress

towards achieving the goals of its strategic

plan Vision 2012: Excellence at Anna Maria

College. This year’s successful recruitment

effort was a giant step forward for the

growing institution.

Once perceived as a small, rural college

that attracted mostly local students, AMC

is emerging as a leading Catholic college

located in a vibrant area of New England,

drawing students from as far away as

California, Texas, Missouri, Nevada,

Florida, Korea and Japan. While the new

sports programs, including football,

lacrosse and tennis, have been, and will

continue to be draws for the College, other

changes including new residence halls, an

honors program, a new athletic field,

additional curricular and co–curricular

programs, an enhanced science lab and

state–of–the–art nursing lab, improved

technology and world–class faculty are all

helping put AMC on the map. AMC’s new

online program is also helping the College

reach out beyond its current geographic

area to bring quality graduate and

continuing education programs to adult

students around the globe.

What remains constant at Anna Maria

is its commitment to excellence and

holistic education, the two significant

elements that made AMC a prestigious,

women’s Catholic College during the 1950s

and 1960s. Vision 2012 is providing Anna

Maria with the opportunity to reconnect

with its roots and use the uniqueness of

its heritage as a Sisters of Saint Anne

College to help move the College forward

so that prospective students can have

the opportunity to access an

AMC education.

Anna Maria College Exceeds Enrollment Goals

A Record Year for Enrollment

Freshmen applications for admission to the 2009/10 academic year increased 102% with an additional 43% increase for our freshmen nursing applications.

Transfer student deposits increased by 43% , with nursing deposits up an additional 22% , compared to 2008/2009.

Transfer applications increased 173% (with an additional 77% for nursing), despite the predicted return to more affordable public colleges and universities, many of which are AMC’s direct competition.

The growth in applications enabled the institution to be more selective. Anna Maria College increased the number of freshmen students denied admission by 141% .

Over 80% of students depositing at AMC (a 10 – 15% increase) chose to live on campus, resulting in the College needing to initiate a waitlist for the first time in its history.

Total enrollment at the College is currently around 1600 as opposed to the 1350 enrolled in the 2008/2009 academic year.

Freshmen deposits grew 55% , with nursing up an additional 25% compared to the same time last year.

The Consummate Supporters of AMCYvette Bellerose, SSA, ’72 Province Leader for the Sisters of Saint Anne and Anna Maria College Board Chair, recently shared her thoughts on the growth of AMC. The former elementary school teacher and principal has been living the mission of the Sisters since she took her first vows in 1963. A graduate of Anna Maria and Duquesne University, she stands firm in her belief that what we learn and experience throughout our lifetime become the wisdom and knowledge we use to guide others through life’s changes. “I feel blessed to serve as the leader of both our Province and the College during these transformational times,” shares Sr. Yvette.

Sr. Rose Clarisse Gadoury, ’65, ’01G, Sr. Marguerite A. St. Amand, ’74, Sr. Yvette E. Bellerose, ’72, Sr. Barbara A. Flynn, ’55

Founded in 1946, Anna Maria has always

been guided by the values of Blessed Marie

Anne Blondin through the work and

commitment of the Sisters. “The Sisters

have been the drivers of growth at Anna

Maria since its inception,” comments Sr.

Yvette. “We have never faltered in our

mission and have welcomed changes that

strengthened our ability to further the

vision of education of our Foundress.”

Over the past 63 years, the Sisters have

heeded their calling, working with others

to gracefully move the College through

various transformations. From its earliest

days as a women–only college with three

small buildings, the Sisters have seen the

College expand in both size and scope.

“In the beginning, the Sisters did

everything at Anna Maria,” claims Sr.

Yvette. “We lived there, worked there, and

were an integral part of the community.

We oversaw the construction of new

buildings, including Foundress, Cardinal

Cushing Hall, and Madonna Hall,” she

adds. “We also participated in the College’s

move to co–education in the ‘70s, helping

to fulfill the vision of a woman way ahead

of her time, Blessed Marie Anne Blondin.”

In the 1980s, recognizing the need to

secure the financial future of both the

Province and Anna Maria, the Provincial

Council, which also served as the Board

of AMC, separated the corporations, with

the Sisters generously donating the

buildings and the land they inhabited to

the College. Under the leadership of the

Provincial Council, the charter to bestow

undergraduate and graduate degrees,

including PhDs, was also passed on

to AMC.

“The Sisters entered into these

transactions to protect the future of the

College and the students,” explains Sr.

Yvette. Although there are now lay

members on the board, the Sisters still

make up at least one–third, ensuring that

their mark on the future remains.

In this capacity, they continue to

support Anna Maria through its

newest phase.

“We understand the need to grow AMC

with new academic and sports programs,

new facilities and even a new look,” shares

Sr. Yvette. “My position on the Board, as

well as the work of the other Sisters, means

that the College’s holistic education

will remain the common thread.”

“During graduation, I see much

more than students ... I see men

and women who have ... become

strong, resilient individuals with

an understanding of what it means

to strive for the Common Good and

fulfillment of all Creation.”

The AMC Annual Fund reached record heights in fiscal year 2008–2009, thanks in large part to the generosity of Paul and Rosemary (Rossetti) ’72 DiPierro.

With a goal of increasing alumni support of the Annual Fund, the DiPierro’s kindly committed a $60,000 challenge gift to AMC to match every new and increased gift made in the 2008–2009 fiscal year. New gifts were matched dollar for dollar and increased gifts were matched dollar for dollar on the increase.

The response was outstanding, and the challenge was fully met, allowing AMC to obtain the full $60,000 gift.

“We are very appreciative for the response of our alumni, parents and friends to the DiPierro Challenge,” shares AMC President Jack P. Calareso, Ph.D. “We are also deeply grateful to Paul and Rosemary for their steadfast and generous support

of the College and for helping the community grow our Annual Fund with this special gift.”

Eric P. Gustafson, Director of Advancement, says, “We’re thankful that so many stepped up to help us meet the DiPierro Challenge.” Noting how important growing Annual Fund giving is for AMC, he adds, “We’re very hopeful that everyone who gave last year will give again this year, and even consider increasing their gift.”

The AMC Annual Fund supports students and their educational needs. Generous support from alumni, parents and friends allows the College to control annual tuition increases and make an AMC education accessible to all qualified students.

A Year of Transformation and Growth for the Molly Bish Center

On April 15th, 2009, Congressman James P. McGovern presented the Molly Bish Center with a $300,000 Department of Justice Grant to be used to support the important work of the Center as it continues to educate the public and train professionals regarding the protection of children and the elderly. The Center is grateful for the support of the Congressman, who is a strong advocate of its causes. In addition to the generous grant received through the Congressman, the Molly Bish Center also received a fourteen–month, $82,000 Department of Health and Human Services grant to further its efforts in the community.

These two important awards signaled a renewed commitment for the Molly Bish Center, which celebrated its past and prepared for its future with a special event for the family and friends of Molly this past April. The Center also successfully transitioned to a new director, David Tuttle, as well as new office space located at Anna Maria College’s Worcester site at 88 Prescott Street in Worcester. With a renewed sense of purpose the Center moved forward by undertaking a variety of initiatives including:

• Hosting a day–long conference with the Worcester County Elder Abuse Roundtable regarding elder abuse issues.

• Creating a mobile computer training lab for the Massachusetts State Police ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) Unit through a generous grant of $75,000 from the Verizon Foundation.

• Collaborating with MetLife to offer the community of Paxton an opportunity to visit the AMC campus and learn about child protection initiatives available to families.

• Partnering with the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office to hold a conference on underage drinking, present a computer safety program to grammar school children in area schools and create an Internet Safety Program for Seniors.

The Foundress of the Sisters of Saint Anne, Blessed Mother Marie Anne Blondin, often used the symbol of a tree to demonstrate the importance of strong roots to a successful and fulfilling life. She is quoted as saying, “The deeper the roots of a tree penetrate into the earth, the better chance it will have to grow, rise into the air and produce fruit.”

As the only Sisters of Saint Anne College in the world, Anna Maria College remains steadfast in its desire to heed Mother Marie Anne’s words as the institution grows and changes. Although plans are in place to expand the footprint of the current college campus and new curricular and co–curricular programs are continually being added, the College will be ever faithful to the tenants by which it was founded.

Anna Maria College’s holistic approach to education with a focus on academic excellence and service to the Common Good are the strengths of

the institution and the values that will carry the College forward as it branches out and creates new opportunities for its students. In memory of those who founded Anna Maria College and as a promise not to abandon its past, the AMC community came together on April 15th, 2009 to recognize the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Blessed Mother Marie Anne Blondin and honor her life by planting a tree. The beautiful and young Red Maple stands proudly on the lawn in front of the historic Socquet House where many of the Sisters lived when the College first opened its doors in Paxton in 1952. A sign near the tree proclaims the attributes of Mother Marie Anne and allows all who pass by the opportunity to learn about AMC’s roots and how their strength is supporting the College’s vision of excellence.

Dr. Joan–Beth Gow Brings Science Education to a New LevelWhen you walk into Saint Josephs Hall, one of the oldest buildings on the AMC campus, you can’t help but imagine what it was like for the students in the early ‘50s who used this facility for most of their classroom instruction, as well as other college functions, including a dining hall. Over the years, as the College expanded, the building became the center of science education and research at Anna Maria, and is currently the place where you can find Joan–Beth Gow, Ph.D., a strong member of the team of faculty that is driving the growth of the science program at AMC.

Joan–Beth is a graduate of Colby College

and received her Ph.D. in Biology from

Clark University. She joined the AMC

community five years ago and, along with

her department colleagues, has helped

the science program evolve to meet the

needs of current and future Anna Maria

students.

“Nursing–track, health science and

environmental science majors, as well

as students who want to pursue a career

in medicine or another allied health

profession, all need a solid science

background,” states Joan–Beth. “At AMC,

our comprehensive program, small class

sizes and personal attention allow all of

our students the opportunity to excel in

the sciences and be successful in their

chosen profession.” Joan–Beth points

to the enhancement of the science labs

as a plus for the College. “Through the

help of the Alden Trust, AMC has been

able to purchase new equipment for our

labs including pH meters and electronic

balances and state–of–the art instruments

such as equipment for DNA analysis, all

of which benefit our students’ educational

experiences,” she adds.

Joan–Beth teaches general biology

I and II, genetics, human genetics in

society, chemistry lab, and microbiology.

She also guides some of the directed

research projects for upper level students,

some of whom last year studied ‘phages,’

microorganisms that have been proven to

attack and kill various bacteria. Phages

research is cutting edge in this country,

and Joan–Beth was pleased to be able

to expose her students to some of these

studies during their own research project.

In addition to science majors, Joan–Beth

enjoys teaching students in other majors.

“Popular courses like human genetics in

society bring non–science students into

the science classroom and it gives me a

chance to change their attitude towards

the sciences,” she shares. “Sometimes I

can see students motivated to learn more

and on occasion I find a non–science major

contemplating a change in their course

of study. I find this incredibly exciting,”

she notes.

Students who study under Joan–Beth

benefit greatly from her knowledge and

expertise. “I really enjoy sparking

the interest of my students and helping

them to understand the tremendous

impact a good education will make on

their lives.”

Dr. Gow explains a lab to Linda Kucukistipanoglu and Catherine O’Neil, both seniors in the Nursing program.

“At AMC, our comprehensive

program, small class sizes

and personal attention allow

all of our students the opportunity

to excel in the sciences and

be successful in their

chosen profession.”
