Winona Campus NewsletterSaint Mary’s announces plans for fall 2020
As you may have read in my letter yesterday, Saint Mary’s is excited to welcome you back to the Winona Campus for in-person instruction and on-campus experiences as scheduled in August 2020. This return will be accompanied by accommodations to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and to promote the health and safety of our Saint Mary’s community.
The return-to-campus plan for Winona will feature a condensed fall schedule. Classes will be held on Labor Day, Sept. 7, and during what would have been the October break (Oct. 12-13), thus eliminating any breaks and thereby providing continuous in-person instruction and on-campus engagement until Thanksgiving week. You will be able to begin to return home after classes on Nov. 24. Remaining coursework and final exams or papers will be completed online by Dec. 4.
You are strongly encouraged to stay on campus throughout the entire term. We expect that the modified schedule will limit exposure from visits home for the Thanksgiving holiday. It will also help mitigate the effects if an outbreak were to occur during finals, which coincides with the traditional start of the flu season.
Detailed strategies for operational changes and facilities modifications to guide our work as we prepare for your return to campus are being compiled. In addition, risk assessments and contingency plans have been created to help the university effectively address any outbreaks should that occur. We will continue to work on planning not only for this fall, but for January and the spring semester. You can find more details about these plans on our website.
Please be assured that as we prepare to welcome you back to our campuses in August, we will continue to be guided by our Lasallian Catholic heritage. This includes our ability to be innovative and resilient while remaining steadfast to our commitments, and mindful that our most significant commitments are to the physical health, mental well-being, and spiritual support of our students, faculty, and staff.
Responding to racism: A Lasallian dialogue
On Thursday, June 25, the Lasallian Association of Colleges and Universities (LACU), in collaboration with the Office for Lasallian Education at Christian Brothers Conference, District of Eastern North America, Midwest District, and District of San Francisco New Orleans, will host Responding to Racism: A Lasallian Dialogue.
The virtual panel discussion is an initiative of the six Lasallian colleges and universities throughout the Lasallian Region of North America (RELAN). Continuing the work of the annual Lasallian Higher Education Colloquies on Racial Justice, which started in 2017, and in light of the national and international dialogue taking place now on the sin of racism following the killing of George Floyd, LACU invites the Lasallian and Catholic family to come together for discussion and action, to work for racial justice and equity.
Panelists and facilitators for Responding to Racism: A Lasallian Dialogue:
- Hayden Greene, M.A. (panelist), is the founding director of Multicultural Affairs and the coordinator for the Multicultural Center at Manhattan College.
- Kristi J. Kelly, Ed.D. (panelist), is the chief diversity officer and director of Multicultural Student Services at Lewis University.
- Maureen O’Connell, Ph.D. (panelist), is an associate professor of Christian Ethics, Department of Religion and Theology at La Salle University.
- Luisa Marcela Ossa, Ph.D. (panelist), is an associate professor of Spanish and area chair of the Undergraduate Spanish Program at La Salle University.
- Brother Ernest Miller, FSC, D.Min. (moderator), serves as vice president for mission at La Salle University.
- Frances Sweeney, Ph.D. (moderator), serves as a professor of Spanish and vice president for mission at Saint Mary’s College of California.

SGPP virtual commencement to take place July 17
Saint Mary’s University is proud to honor this spring’s 609 graduates from our Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs with a virtual commencement ceremony Friday, July 17, at 7 p.m.
We invite our adult learners, their families, friends, and supporters to take part in this celebratory program at smumn.edu/commencement2020.
In addition to showcasing our graduates, the program will feature special faculty accolades and advice, student speakers, and academic awards.
Despite the challenges of this time, we want our graduates to remember their ability to adapt, persevere, and succeed, despite circumstances beyond their control, will continue to serve them in the weeks, months, and years ahead. Your future is bright and your strength admirable. You are our heroes and heroines of 2020, and we cannot wait to celebrate all that you have accomplished.
University receives substantial gift to further philanthropy efforts
The university is pleased to announce it has received an initial gift of $600,000 from the Anglican Parish of St. Paul to support new initiatives and additional staffing in our Advancement Office. They have also pledged additional funds in the coming years.
“We are extremely grateful to the Parish of St. Paul, their Rector, and their benefactors for the generous support of our university advancement efforts,” said Father James P. Burns, IVD, Ph.D., president of Saint Mary’s University. “They have specifically called out our faith-based approach to education and virtue formation as reasons for their pledge. At a time when we will need to be more creative and better resourced than ever, this initial gift will allow us to create ever greater capacity in our development area, and thus we will be able to realize the key initiatives of our strategic plan.”
This important contribution will bolster the development team’s capacity as the university explores the feasibility of a proposed $100 million capital campaign intended to fund many of the initiatives in the strategic plan, Building a Future Full of Hope 2025. The gift is a result of collaborative efforts on behalf of the university’s development team, as well as members of the president’s cabinet, and colleagues across the university.
Updates to Winona Campus front entrance
If you have been on the Winona Campus in the past few days, you would have noticed the large signs at the front entrance are being removed. The signs are being removed in preparation for the construction of new signage at the front entrance, which are part of a more extensive remodel and upgrading of several key components as you enter the campus.
The four components to the front entrance remodel includes:
- The wall surrounding the garbage dumpsters on the west end of the Toner Center. The dumpsters are being hidden behind a new stonewall.
- The signage at the main entrance. The six pillars will be replaced with two 45-foot stonewalls, one on each side of the main entrance road.
- Upgrading the reception booth (guardhouse). It will be closer to the highway and increase in size.
- Work in the plaza. The plan calls for removing concrete and increasing the amount of grass area.
All of these changes are part of the upgrades that started with the removal of Saint Edward’s Hall and the construction of Brother William Hall. All of the work is being financed through private philanthropy from an anonymous donor.
GeoSpatial Services continues work during pandemic, employs students and staff
Since faculty and staff started working remotely and students began distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the GeoSpatial Services (GSS) program has remained strong and continued work on federal projects. This was partly possible due to the students and staff who have been employed to work in GSS operations during this time.
More than 25 undergraduate students were transitioned to GSS, including several international students who were not able to return home. Many of these students relied on financial support from work-study that they were no longer able to complete, but GSS work filled this need, helping Saint Mary’s retention rate. More than 20 students will also be traveling back to Winona this summer to continue the work while staying in individual accommodations and following safety guidelines.
Additionally, eight Saint Mary’s staff, many who may have otherwise lost their jobs, have been redeployed to support GSS projects. This has strengthened the Saint Mary’s community and provided job security to additional families.
“GSS has numerous ongoing projects for both government and non-governmental partners, and the loss of our student workers could have been significant,” said Andy Robertson, GSS director. “Being able to quickly transition to a full work-at-home model for both students and staff has allowed us to keep project budgets and timelines intact while continuing to provide experiential learning for students, employment continuity, and some measure of financial stability in uncertain times.”
All GSS team members were initially sent home with computers, some as far away as Oregon and Illinois. At the same time, several socially distanced spaces were created in Winona and the Twin Cities so students and staff could return to work immediately after the stay-at-home restrictions were relaxed.
“Creating safe, sanitized, and socially distanced environments for returning to work has enabled us to offer additional employment opportunities and keep students in Winona throughout the summer,” said Robertson.
Through ongoing partnerships and marketing, GSS has also been able to secure an additional $2 million worth of project funding since the pandemic began. And they expect that to increase significantly as they near the end of the federal fiscal year.
GSS is a project center within Saint Mary’s that integrates professional services and academic apprenticeships in the areas of natural resource assessment, geographic analysis, and contemporary mapping. This integration employs the technical and problem-solving skills of full-time staff and fosters practical work experience for our students. GSS is devoted to meeting the needs of their partners with services including program development, data design and application, and data visualization.
“One of the most exciting projects GSS has managed to continue despite the pandemic involves the preparation and analysis of maps that support a legal injunction being filed by 32 states against the Trump Administration’s re-interpretation of the Clean Water Act,” Robertson said. “Data created by students and staff at GSS and communication tools developed specifically for this case are being submitted as expert testimony in a trial set to begin on June 18 in the United States District Court for Northern California. This work has placed GSS and Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota at the forefront of one of the most significant environmental issues of the current day, namely how do we manage impacts to the nation’s water resources so as to ensure a clean, safe, stable water supply for current and future generations.”

Kudos to winter/spring Cardinal athletes
Despite a challenging spring, Cardinal student-athletes have not only persevered, they have excelled. For starters, all of our athletic programs achieved a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA this past semester.
Other accolades include:
- Michele Remer ’20 (women’s basketball) was named co-valedictorian of her graduating class. Additionally, she and Ben Borash ’20 (cross country and track and field) were named Outstanding Senior Female and Male.
- James Green ’21 (baseball) was CoSIDA Second-Team Academic All-American.
Congratulations to all our Cardinal athletes for continuing to work hard, academically and physically, for the upcoming fall season.
Twin Cities community outreach opportunities following recent events
Saint Mary’s has received a number of requests from students, faculty, staff, and their families inquiring about how they can assist the many and diverse communities surrounding the Twin Cities Campus in the aftermath of the recent violence and destruction.
With so much information on social media, as well as from news outlets documenting the outpouring of support, it may be difficult to determine where the most critical needs are yet to be met. Members of the Twin Cities Campus community have been in contact with our neighborhood partners, including Lutheran Social Services, Phillips West Neighborhood Association, Ebenezer Tower Apartments, and Messiah Lutheran at the Center for Changing Lives to determine their levels and kinds of need. Some are at capacity in many respects and have directed us to lists of other organizations and entities that are in need.
Additionally, several organizations that may be at or near capacity have suggested donations be directed to organizations which are owned and operated by black people or people of color and have existing channels for timely distribution to those most in immediate need.
If you have a desire to give and don’t know where to start, think about what you are most concerned or passionate about. Ideas to consider before giving might include supporting:
- The rebuild of Lake Street and other critical infrastructure
- Families or children
- Cultural centers, libraries, day care or child care centers
- People of color or black owned and operated organizations
- Specific neighborhoods
- Religions organizations
- And more
If you are interested in making a monetary contribution to those affected, consider connecting with one of the following nonprofits that are providing direct service in the community:
Here are two other resources that may be useful as you consider ways to volunteer or donate:
If you plan to give food, please purchase from well-stocked stores in the suburbs rather than inner city neighborhood grocery stores.
Saint Mary’s in the news
Father James P. Burns, president of Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, recently authored an opinion piece with Larry Lundblad, interim president of Minnesota State College Southeast, and Scott R. Olson, president of Winona State University, that was featured in the Winona Post.
Guest Opinion: Creating inclusive and equitable communities
Saint Mary’s alumnus Ashley Russell ’03 is quoted in the New York Times because of his work as an instructor with Year Up, a nonprofit job-training and life-changing program in cities across the country. The organization has found that much more of its training can be done effectively online than they expected. Russell is quoted as saying, “We don’t teach a subject. We teach people.”
