Students, Faculty, Staff, Neighbors & Friends of Chatfield:

The recently completed 2015-2016 school and fiscal year was another successful one for Chatfield College and our students. Commencement exercises were held on May 14th at St. Joseph Church in the West End, just a few blocks from our new campus in Over-the-Rhine, where 76 students received their associate degree in liberal arts. You can read about the ceremony on page 4.

We were able to complete our first full year in this state-of-the-art facility, with instructors, advisors, staff, and students working among and amidst the seemingly continuous hum of power tools while maneuvering around ladders and scaffolding as we finally finished punch list items and historic renovation requirements. With the completion of St. Angela’s Chapel, in loving memory of Diane C. Kneuven, we are able to now say - this job is done! You can read about the Chapel and the blessing ceremony we held with Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr on page 2.

Perhaps the most important takeaway from the new OTR campus project is that after the five years of effort in finding a location, designing a modern facility while restoring an historic structure, raising the required funds, and actually building it out, it was all worth it! Our students love their college, and we could not be more pleased, since they are the reason we embarked on this journey.

And, it was a good year at our original St. Martin Campus in Brown County, as well, where we experienced record enrollment. A total of 520 students attended classes at both campuses, representing an increase of more than five percent over the prior year. We serve a diverse and inclusive community of adult learners and traditional age students, almost all first-generation college attendees. The majority (78%) of our students are women, and 98% receive some form of financial aid. Our Mission is to empower students who might best succeed within our supportive, small college experience. Success is demonstrated through the achievement of established learning outcomes in a liberal arts education grounded in our Catholic heritage and Ursuline Legacy.

Our endowment grew by almost 40%, primarily due to the largest, single, testamentary gift ever made to our school, by Dr. Mary Lois Jung, a wonderful and inspiring woman. Read about her amazing life, fascinating story, and incredible gift to Chatfield on page 1.

Separately, our “Building Community” capital campaign, named from St. Angela Merici’s Fifth Counsel, where she encouraged the Ursuline community and order she founded to “build community wherever you go”, continues. Thus far, we have raised about 86% of our $5 million goal. This success has allowed us to proceed with our next capital project, the renovation and expansion of the 1960-built Welcome Center in St. Martin. See the story on page 6 about this exciting project. Next year at this time, our rural, Appalachian students will have a brand-new facility to experience and enjoy as they pursue their college studies in Brown County, thanks to the generosity of benefactors like you.

On the following pages, you will also read about our operating results, and some of last year’s events and awards. As is the case each and every year, we are indebted to all those donors and supporters who allow us to do this important work. Thank you! We do our best to be good stewards of your generosity and the gifts we receive, both earthly and from above. Your continued prayers for all of us at Chatfield are both welcome and appreciated. Please contact either one of us if you would like to discuss this report or Chatfield College. We look forward to your next visit.

In addition to the scholarship recipients, Chatfield also appointed Jim Woodford as its new George H. Jung, Jr. Chair in Science. Jim has taught at Chatfield College since the fall 2011 semester and has been the part-time Science Department Chair since the 2014-15 academic year. In addition to guiding the science department for the last few years, he has taught biology, ecology, zoology, and environmental science. He has also taught developmental math courses. Dr. Jung established the Science Chair in 2001, in honor of her father, George H. Jung, Jr. who started his own business, the Jung Corporation, an international manufacturing company of medical appliances, after designing a brace for himself to help a football injury.

Highlights from 2015-16 Chatfield College Receives $1 Million Gift from Renowned Surgeon & Philanthropist Mary Lois Jung

Dr. Mary Lois Jung was a surgeon, Catholic nun and dedicated philanthropist whose most cherished causes were education and the environment.

Dr. Jung’s life covered a broad span of time, geography and roles. The daughter of George Jung, inventor of the arch brace and knee pad and founder of the Jung Arch Brace Company, she learned to love science through her father’s experiments and demonstrations.

After high school, she attended Trinity College in Washington D.C. before transferring to the University of Cincinnati where she earned a degree in chemistry. She accepted a fellowship for cancer research at the University of Florida, earning a master’s in chemistry and starting on a doctorate before realizing that it was not the path for her. Her sense of adventure and interest in foreign cultures led her to join the Medical Mission Sisters, an order that focused on providing health care as ministry without seeking religious converts. Because the missions needed surgeons, she was asked to become a physician and attended medical school at the Women’s Medical College in Philadelphia. After earning an M.D., she served for three decades as a Medical Mission surgeon in Pakistan, Micronesia, St. Lucia and the Papua New Guinea Highlands, before retiring in the late 1980’s.

Chatfield College Named A 2016 Impact 100 Grant Finalist

Early this year, Chatfield College received a bequeathed gift of $1 million from Dr. Mary Lois Jung - the largest testamentary gift in Chatfield’s history and its largest endowed scholarship.

“We are exceedingly grateful for Dr. Jung’s amazing generosity,” said Kip Heekin, Chair of the Chatfield College Board of Trustees. “This is a transformational gift, one that will help students attend Chatfield for generations to come.”

In late spring, St. Martin students Darla Boitnott and Colton Baker (front and back center) and Over-the-Rhine students Anelika Black (left) and Aundaya Dixon (right) were named recipients of Mary Lois Jung Scholarships, just four of many future students who will benefit from Dr. Jung’s generosity.

Chatfield College has been named as a 2016 finalist for one of four grants to be awarded by Impact 100, a collective-giving group of women philanthropists dedicated to improving lives in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky community.

Since 2001, Impact 100 has donated more than $3.2 million to area non-profits. This year, the organization will award four grants of $101,500 each at its Annual Awards Celebration at the Cintas Center on September 13.

Chatfield College is one of seven area finalists being considered for one of the 2016 grants, which, if received, will fund the college’s proposed Central Parkway and Liberty Street Greenspace project in Over-the-Rhine. (continued on page 2)

The project aims to revitalize and restore an underutilized park adjacent to Chatfield’s OTR Campus on Central Parkway and Liberty Street, creating a vibrant, multi-use green space for Chatfield College students and the surrounding community.

“We are excited to be selected as a finalist for 2016 Impact 100 grant funding,” said John P. Tafaro, Chatfield College President. “Now that our new state-of-the-art campus in OTR has been in operation for nearly a year, we believe that the revitalization of the park adjoining the campus is the next logical step in providing much-needed opportunities to our students and our Over-the-Rhine neighbors.”

Planned improvements to the park include a sitting wall, park benches, landscaping, trees, and a paved focal gathering space as well as new sidewalks and the resurfacing of the adjacent Kemp Alley. The project was designed in 2014 when Chatfield College partnered with Miami University’s Department of Architecture and Center for Community Engagement. Miami University students living and working in Over-the-Rhine actually designed the park renovations as part of a landscape design class.

Impact 100 was founded in Cincinnati by a group of women who desired to make a greater impact with their philanthropic donations and decided to collectively pool their funds to create a significant grant to award to a worthy non-profit organization.

Archbishop Schnurr Bestows Blessing on Chatfield’s New Chapel in OTR Chatfield’s beautiful new chapel at the Over-the-Rhine Campus was completed in late spring. In June, Chatfield held a blessing ceremony for St. Angela’s Chapel, dedicated in loving memory of Diane C. Knueven. The blessing was bestowed by Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr, followed by a mass and luncheon for those in attendance.

Made possible by a generous gift from the Robert J. Knueven family, St. Angela’s Chapel was designed by Martha Dorff of Schickel Design, and named for St. Angela Merici, who founded the Company of St. Ursula in Brescia, Italy in 1535. Today, the Company of St. Ursula is commonly known as Ursulines and can be found in all parts of the world.

“We are tremendously grateful to the Knueven family for their generous gift in loving memory of Diane, devoted wife, mother, and grandmother,” said John P. Tafaro, Chatfield’s President. “We are thrilled that our OTR students now have a beautiful, welcoming and prayerful space that reflects our commitment to our Ursuline values and legacy.”

St. Angela’s Chapel features an impressive round window, seven-feet in diameter, made from authentic German stained-glass and rich in the symbolism of Christianity. The chapel doors are made from black walnut—the right leaf an historical confessional door from St. Martin Church in Brown County, the left leaf artfully replicated by John Roades, a craftsman from St. Martin, Ohio. Other noteworthy features in-clude hand-painted artwork, a wall of intentions, and beautifully crafted benches.

Chatfield College Recognized for Rehabilitation of New Campus

Chatfield College was honored to receive the Cincinnati Preservation Association (CPA) Rehabilitation Award for its newly renovated campus in historic Over-the-Rhine at the CPA’s 51st annual meeting.

The Rehabilitation Award recognizes owners and developers of historic buildings that have been substantially

restored or rehabilitated and comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.

Chatfield completed the renovation of the historic building at 1544 Central Parkway in August 2015, in time for Fall classes. Built in 1870, the building originally housed a stable for the Windisch-Mulhauser/Lion Brewery. In

1923, the Cincinnati Association for the Welfare of the Blind purchased it, built a large addition, and operated a broom factory there serving its clients until 1966. Upon completion of its most recent life as a printing company, the structure remained largely vacant for many years.

“We are grateful to CPA for its recognition of our efforts to restore this

historic structure in a way that preserves the character of the Over-the-Rhine community,” said John P. Tafaro, President. “CPA was very helpful with our efforts to receive historic tax credits, which greatly enhanced our capacity to take on this project.”

The Cincinnati Preservation Association is a not-for-profit organization that serves the Greater Cincinnati community as the recognized resource and catalyst for the preservation of historic cultural resources such as architecturally significant buildings, archeological sites, historic public art and monuments and landscapes. This is accomplished through education, advocacy, and technical support.

New Endowed Scholarships Created Chatfield College is pleased to announce the establishment of two new endowed scholarships.

The first scholarship has been established by the Alumnae Association of the School of the Brown County Ursulines (BCUAA). This scholarship will provide a debt-free education to a student with financial need attending the St. Martin Campus.

The second scholarship has been established by Jean McNamara and her siblings to remember and honor their parents, Helen and Francis McNamara, for their commitment to education. All seven McNamara children attended college, completely funded by their par-ents. This scholarship is to be granted to a promising student with financial need.

If you would like to make a gift to either of these funds, or any endowed

scholarship, please contact the Development Office

or visit the website, chatfield.weshareonline.org.

Ellevate Cincinnati held its 5th Annual Ellevate Amateur Chocolate Competition & Wine Tasting at the Cincinnati Ballet, which was won by Chatfield Trustee Anne Castleberry. All proceeds from this event were gifted to three female, single parent, Chatfield students at the Over-the-Rhine campus — Sara Adams, Aundaya Dixon, and Chjuante Riston.

Generous Grants Fund Chatfield’s Learning to Live Program

Chatfield College received three generous grants to fund its Learning to Live Program at the Cincinnati Campus.

The Charles H. Dater Foundation has funded this program for seven consecutive years. For the second year in a row, Chatfield has also received grants from the SC Ministry Foundation and the Duke Energy Foundation to help fund the program.

Launched by Chatfield in 2009, the goal of the Learning to Live program is to address the barriers experienced by low-income, single-parent, or first-generation students that may prevent them from achieving a quality education. In its implementation, this program seeks to alleviate four of the main challenges these students face: academic readiness, lack of reliable transportation, access to affordable childcare, and tuition assistance through scholarships.

Chatfield believes that education is the most effective way to break the cycle of generational poverty. To improve academic readiness, Chatfield provides tutors to help students succeed in the classroom. To help with reliable transportation, Chatfield provides bus passes in emergency situations. To help with childcare, Chatfield partners with 4C for Children, a leading referral resource in the Cincinnati area that assists students with obtaining vouchers for childcare. Finally, Chatfield assists students who are unable to afford college with individualized counseling with a concentration on maximizing grants and scholarships and minimizing student loans.

Chatfield College Holds 45th Commencement Exercises

Chatfield College held its 45th commencement exercises on Saturday, May 14, honoring 74 graduates at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Cincinnati’s West End.

The ceremony included students from Chatfield’s campuses in St. Martin and Over-the-Rhine who either completed the requirements for graduation or completed the requirements during the summer session.

Two graduates, Emily Scott from the Over-the-Rhine Campus (pictured in top right photo on left), and Mariah Powell from the St. Martin Campus (pictured in top right photo, on right), were presented with Julia Chatfield Distinguished Student Awards. This award is designed to recognize a graduate at each campus based on nominations submitted by the faculty and staff. Besides a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, the student must exhibit the determination of Julia Chatfield by turning obstacles into opportunities, is friendly, inclusive and supportive in dealing with others and displays leadership qualities.

Reverend David Long ’76 (middle photo) gave the commencement address and was presented with the Chatfield’s Dean Agatha Fitzgerald, OSU Excellence in Teaching Award. This award is given each year to an instructor who exemplifies the academic spirit and values of Chatfield College.

Reverend Long received his Associate of Arts from Chatfield College in 1976 and his Bachelor of Arts from Wilmington College, Cum Laude, in 1978. He went on to receive a Master of Divinity Degree in 1982 from Asbury Theological Seminary. He was ordained in the United Methodist Church in 1982 and received a commission into the United States Army in 1986. Reverend Long is the recipient of two Bronze Stars for his service during Desert Storm and as a member of a Special Operations Force in Baghdad, Iraq.

Chatfield was also pleased to have three commencement legacy stories within the Class of 2016: ALuara Meeker and her mother, Kimberly Fisher ’03 (below at top left), who is also a Chatfield faculty member; Holly Pegan and her mother, Dawnita Pegan ’03 (below at bottom left) and Olivia Morgan (below with Avery Morgan), who

is the fourth in her family to graduate from Chatfield, following Ethan ’07, Everett ’10, and Avery ’13.

2015-16 Financial Report

Revenue Expenses

Buoyed by the amazing generosity of Dr. Mary Lois Jung and the largest testamentary gift in Chatfield College history, our school’s financial position has never been stronger. Total assets on June 30, 2015 amounted to $11. 44 million and our total net asset value was $10.11 million – both the highest values in Chatfield history. Cash and cash equivalents increased by more than 35% to $5.34 million. Included in this amount is our endowment, with a balance of just slightly less than $4 million – also a record high. Property, plant and equipment, including our investment in the new OTR campus, was valued at $4.68 million, a slight decrease due to the sale of some investment property we had held for several years. Continued payments on debt and tight expense controls reduced our total liabilities by 5% to $1.33 million. Revenue exceeded expenses for the seventh consecutive year. Total enrollment increased, as did the cost charged to students per credit hour. However, a significant upward trend in the number of high school students enrolled through the popular Ohio College Credit Plus (CCP) program resulted in a discount, to the State, of more than a half million dollars. As a result, overall net tuition revenue declined by approximately 6%. Donations, with the exception of the Jung gift, were relatively flat across the board. Our “Building Community” Capital Campaign (see page 6 for details) has increased to more than $4.3 million towards a $5 million goal. It is important for us to finish this effort with that goal achieved. Our largest expense category, the cost of education, instruction, and student support, remained virtually the same as the prior year, as did our administrative expense. Occupancy costs, again the result of the rollout of the new OTR campus where we tripled our square footage, increased significantly. Total expenses increased by approximately $100,000, primarily due to these higher occupancy costs. It is also important for us to increase enrollment there to make up for these higher costs. Excess of revenue over expenses was $1.3 million before recognizing a loss on investments, showing positive cash flow, even after netting out the Jung gift.

The next capital investment made possible by Chatfield’s Building Community Capital Campaign is the expansion and renovation of the Welcome Center on the St. Martin campus. This summer, Chatfield began selective demolition of the concrete block building, originally built in 1960 for the Ursuline Teaching Institute. The Welcome Center is a multi-purpose facility currently housing the financial aid office, admissions office, site director’s office, general administrative office and the student & staff lounge and kitchenette. In addition to expanding the footprint of the building by 1,190 square feet, the renovation of the Welcome Center will address several important needs: asbestos abatement, replacement of an aging roof, bringing the building up to ADA compliance, renovating the restrooms, and installing energy efficient windows and doors. The renovated Welcome Center will be fitting and respectful of existing campus architecture. It will provide a welcoming, student-oriented area for socializing and study, while also providing private office space for staff.

The Welcome Center renovations will expand the footprint of the building by 1,119 square feet.

The new Welcome Center creates an open, collaborative and

customizable space that also supports the more private and functional needs of the staff.

“As a former student, I found myself using the Welcome Center only for vending purposes. I spent most of my time in the library. Hearing the news about a new Welcome Center is exciting and I think it will give students a real college feel. We are growing, therefore our facilities should as well.” ~ Heather Daugherty ‘15

“The renovation of the Welcome Center will be great for Chatfield. It will create a better atmosphere for both students and faculty. The addition of lounging space will allow large groups to meet and gather. Furniture other than tables and chairs would definitely make the time between classes feel cozier and homey. The mediocre bathrooms can use some TLC and that alone will make the student experience more enjoyable.” ~ Rebecca Dabbs

"The new Welcome Center will be a great addition to Chatfield. Every college student needs a complete stress free zone to have the ability to relax in between classes. This new addition will work perfectly on eliminating some of stress of being a college student. Having a strong relationship with Financial Aid is critical in college and being able to have a relaxing area near them fits perfectly at Chatfield." ~ Anthony Terrones

The exterior of the renovated Welcome Center will include a wrap

around porch and exterior improvements fitting with existing

campus architecture.

The new Welcome Center will provide a student oriented and

attractive space that utilizes technology, branding and color.

The Miriam Society is named for Sr. Miriam Thompson, founder of Chatfield College and its first Dean. She was a woman who, during her 90 years, created opportunities for others through educa-tion and humanitarian service. Even in death she continued to give, donating her body for scientific research. She began her career in education teaching Latin, English and French at the School of Brown County Ursulines and Ursuline Academy, eventually taking on administrative duties as Directress at Brown County. In 1959, Sr. Miriam established the Ursuline Teacher Training Institute, where she served as Chief Academic Officer until 1973. After her retirement, she established the Hope Emergency Program to assist needy families in Brown, Adams, Cler-mont, and Highland counties.

Thomas A. Mongan 1924-2016

This year, Chatfield College said a final farewell to long-time friend and supporter Thomas A. Mongan. Mr. Mongan was an Honorary Board of Trustee member and benefactor whose generous donation to the college resulted in the construction of the Annette J. and Thomas A. Mongan Academic Building on the St. Martin campus. A World War II veteran, Mr. Mongan was a practicing attorney for more than 50 years and served as President and Chief Executive Officer of The Guarantee Title and Trust Company as well as its Chairman of The Board. He served on Chatfield’s Board of Trustees from 2004 until 2011, when he became an Honorary Trustee. He will be missed.
