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
Anna Maria College

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.

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.”
