Winona Campus students at Saint Mary’s Universit

Winona Campus students at Saint Mary’s University will be welcomed back to numerous changes, upgrades, and continued renovations — all of which are being made possible solely through philanthropic support.

One of the largest construction projects underway is the renovation of the Adducci Science Center’s Brother Charles and Hoffman halls, which are being transformed into a state-of-the-art space for innovation and collaboration.

Through a $17 million initiative, Saint Mary’s is creating a space for state-of-the-art classrooms, learning spaces, and labs for business and the sciences (including math, psychology, nursing, and computer science.) Saint Mary’s knows that interdisciplinary efforts are critical now more than ever. In fields ranging from business to healthcare, it takes a team of experts to examine issues, challenges, and opportunity from a variety of perspectives.

Highlights of the new facility, expected to be completed by fall 2021, will include a nursing suite, simulation and control rooms, a debrief room, makerspace, trading lab, data analytics lab, computational lab, environmental biology lab, human behavioral lab, sales training suite, teaching and research greenhouse, and covered outdoor classroom extension.

As a direct response to market research and an identified need in the workforce, Saint Mary’s University has announced its plan to establish a B.S. in Nursing program in fall 2021 at its Winona Campus.

The university is currently renovating its Adducci Science Center’s Hoffman and Brother Charles halls to house the dedicated nursing suite, which will include a large clinical skills lab, a high fidelity nursing simulation center, faculty offices, and learning hubs (among other collaborative disciplines like business and the sciences — including math, psychology, and computer science).

Seven clinical agency partners from southern Minnesota and the metro area have agreed to partner with Saint Mary’s on student clinical education, and more relationships are forthcoming.

“We have clinical placements in rural areas to help with relationship building and the job placement, and our graduates are sought after,” Todd Reinhart, Sc.D., dean of Sciences and Health Professions, said. “It’s ultimately about helping today’s healthcare system provide affordable quality care. Saint Mary’s is working to help strengthen the workforce and address the economic challenges within that workforce.”

In addition to renovation of the Adducci Science Center's Hoffman and Brother Charles halls, more exciting changes are underway at the Winona Campus including new front entrance signage, and a major plaza remodel. All of these upgrades are made possible through the generosity of Saint Mary's benefactors, and we are incredibly grateful! The old entrance signs are being replaced with 45-foot stone walls. Additionally, the plaza's silver pillars are gone, and a portion of the concrete is being replaced with more inviting grassy areas. We're excited for our students to see the changes in August!

Saint Mary’s University officials have announced

Saint Mary’s University officials have announced they will welcome students to their Winona and Rochester campuses as scheduled in August 2020 for in-person instruction and a modified on-campus fall experience. A hybrid approach, allowing for in-person instruction for certain programs and online learning for others, is being developed for the Twin Cities Campus. “We are devising a flexible plan of action that prioritizes the health and safety of our faculty, staff, and students, while allowing students to continue receiving the highly interactive and personalized education for which Saint Mary’s is known,” said Ann Merchlewitz, general counsel and university secretary, who is co-chairing the Fall 2020 Planning Coordinating Team.

A beacon of hope from Lake Street in Minneapolis.

A beacon of hope from Lake Street in Minneapolis. We celebrate Saint Mary’s alumna Cathy Heying M'01 (and '88-'90) who transitioned from social worker to auto mechanic in order to give underserved populations in Minneapolis “a lift.” In 2013, Heying founded The Lift Garage, a nonprofit auto repair shop that provides low-cost car repairs for low-income Minnesotans.

In her work, Heying repeatedly saw how devastating the cost of commercial car repair could be. And it had a debilitating ripple effect — if people couldn’t afford to get their cars fixed, they couldn’t travel to work, and they lost their jobs. Without jobs, these individuals couldn’t pay for housing and ended up in a shelter. Or, they would continue to drive dangerous vehicles. Too often, she said, they spent a bleak Minnesota winter living in cars without brakes or heat.

Heying went back to school to earn a degree in auto technology. In April 2013, The Lift opened for one day a week with one repair bay and one volunteer mechanic. In 2018 they expanded to 5 repair bays and 5 full-time auto technicians.

They have now served more than 1,400 customers, completed 3,000 repairs, and saved customers $1.1 million dollars: www.theliftgarage.org. Their motto: “Auto repair at The Lift is the vehicle for repairing lives. We’re changing the world one car at a time.”

2003 Saint Mary's alumnus Ashley Russell 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.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/07/technology/virtual-skills-inequality-gap-virus.html?auth=linked-google&fbclid=IwAR2qEWGo8UCNdqGHJqap-Oa6tAuTLQjrZjzH1mHCYLBlfQAesVN5mk55K-A&smid=em-share
