1762 – 1910 The Origins of Our Lady of the Lake Academy

1762 The Founding of the Sisters of Divine Providence

The history of the Department of Leadership Studies extends back to the founding of the Sisters of Divine Providence. In Alsace, France, Father John Martin Moye was concerned about the education of children in local villages. To provide education to the village children, Father Moye recruited the first Sisters of Divine Providence. These were women who were disposed and persevering in their preparation for ministry in the villages. In 1762, Father Moye began sending the sisters into the local villages to provide not only an academic education to the children, but also education in their faith. Marguerite Lecomte was one of the first Sisters of Divine Providence sent out by Father Moye.1 This heritage of providing education to those who have previously been unable to receive it greatly influenced the culture of the Department of Leadership Studies.

1866 The Sisters of Divine Providence Come to Texas Following the civil war, Texas had a great need for schools. Bishop Dubuis of Texas asked many of the European orders to send men and women religious to Texas. In 1866, Mother St. Andrew Feltin and Sister Alphonse came to Texas to educate children who were unable to otherwise receive an education. In 1867, the sisters opened their first parochial school in Texas, St. Mary’s School. Following the founding of St. Mary’s School, in 1868, the Bishop asked the Sisters to establish their motherhouse in Castroville, Texas, an Alsatian immigrant town west of San Antonio.

1895 Our Lady of the Lake Academy was Founded

In the late 1880’s, the railroad system in Texas was growing, but still limited. The CDP motherhouse was located in Castroville and was less accessible by rail than the city of San Antonio.

Mother Florence Walter had the vision to move the motherhouse from Castroville to San Antonio.

San Antonio Mayor Henry Elmendorf deeded eighteen acres of land to the sisters for a school south of Elmendorf Lake, on the condition that they spend $75,000 (approximately $2.4 Million in 2018 dollars) on improvements in ten years.

In 1895, the sisters founded an academy for girls called Our Lady of the Lake Academy. The academy was originally affiliated with the University of Texas at Austin.2

That same year, what is now called the Main Building became both the convent for the sisters and Our Lady of the Lake Academy.

Between 1896 and 1908, what is today the Main Building served as both Our Lady of the Lake Academy and the motherhouse for the sisters. In 1908, the building of a separate convent was completed, and the Main Building became the first building on campus used solely for academics.

1911 – 1941 The Origins of Our Lady of the Lake College

1911 Our Lady of the Lake College is Founded

In 1911, Our Lady of the Lake Academy expanded to include Our Lady of the Lake College. The college was a two-year college, affiliated with the Catholic University of America.

1919 Our Lady of the Lake College was Expanded to a Four-Year College

In 1919, the institution expanded from a two to a four-year college. That year Our Lady of the Lake College also received membership in the Texas Association of Colleges and Universities.

1920 The Moye Building was Constructed

Between 1998 and 2008, the Department of Leadership Studies, San Antonio faculty had their offices in the Moye Building.

San Antonio students who matriculated during the period of 1998 to 2008, may recall leadership studies staff and faculty offices located on the third, second and basement floors of the Moye Building. Many of the leadership studies classes were also held in the Moye Building.

In 2008, a fire damaged the Main Building. Following restoration, the School of Business and Leadership faculty and staff moved from the Moye to the refurbished Main Building.

1923 Our Lady of the Lake College was Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities

In 1923, Our Lady of the Lake College was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities.

1923, 1928 The Sacred Heart Conventual Chapel was Constructed and Consecrated3

Students who have visited the San Antonio campus undoubtedly have been moved by the beauty of the Sacred Heart Conventual Chapel.

On the San Antonio campus, the Department of Leadership Studies began holding convocation ceremonies in the Sacred Heart Conventual Chapel in 2001.

Convocation ceremonies began on the Rio Grande Valley campus in 2008, and the Houston campus in 2010.

1938 Business Programs

The Department of Leadership Studies is part of the School of Business and Leadership Studies. The roots of the School of Business and Leadership Studies extend to 1938, when Sister Bernadette Marie Gremillion became the first academic chair of Business Programs. Courses taught in the business program in 1940 are shown below.

1942 – 1997 The Origins of Graduate Programs, Our Lady of the Lake University,

The School of Business, The Development of Weekend (Saturday) Classes Between 1942 and 1997, the university expanded both vertically and geographically. Graduate programs and the School of Business were founded, as well as weekend college programs in both San Antonio and Houston.

Beginning in 1978, the university was led by an extraordinary president, Sister Elizabeth Anne Sueltenfuss, CDP, PhD. Sister Elizabeth Anne was both the first CDP and first woman to be president of Our Lady of the Lake. Sister Elizabeth Anne is the namesake of the Sueltenfuss library. 1942 Graduate Study Began at Our Lady of the Lake College

In 1942, the university created a Graduate Certificate in Social Welfare, which evolved into a master’s degree in social work. The MA in Education was introduced in 1950 and graduate work in speech and hearing began in 1955. Whereas the undergraduate programs were still all female, the graduate programs were co-educational.4

1954 Father Moye was Beatified

Father Moye became an ordained priest in 1754 and was appointed a vicar in Metz France. In 1762, he began his project to provide education to children in small villages, by founding the Congregation of the Sisters of Divine Providence.

In 1773, Father Moye began missionary work in China. Between 1773 and 1782, his missionary work was frequently interrupted by persecution and imprisonment. In 1782, he founded the Christian Virgins. These were religious women who followed the rules of the Congregation of Divine Providence and devoted themselves to the care of the sick and to Christian instruction of Chinese women and children in their own homes.

In 1784, he returned to France and resumed direction of the Sisters of Divine Providence. The French revolution of 1791 drove both Father Moye and the Sisters of Divine Providence into exile in Trier. During the French revolution typhoid fever broke out and Father Moye and the sisters devoted themselves to hospital work. In 1793, Father Moye contracted typhoid fever and died, a martyr of Christian charity.

In 1891, Pope Leo XIII declared Father Moye venerable and authorized the introduction of the cause of his beatification in 1891.

In 1954, Father Moye was beatified by Pope Pius XII

1998 The University Approved a PhD in Leadership Studies to Be Housed in a Center for Leadership Studies

Chapter 3 describes how the curriculum for both the PhD in Leadership Studies and the Masters in Organizational Leadership (MSOL) have changed over time. The PhD coursework began in 1998 and the MSOL coursework began in 2002.

Dr. Jacquelyn Alexander was the catalyst for both the Center for Leadership Studies and the PhD program. Throughout 1997, Dr. Alexander developed a guiding coalition of respected university faculty and administrators, attended multiple town-hall type meetings, conducted information sessions and steadily crafted the proposal. She then guided the proposal through various university oversight committees.

At the end of the spring 1998 semester, the university approved a Center for Leadership Studies that housed the PhD in Leadership Studies. Between 1998 and 2002, the primary activities in the center were related to launching and refining the doctoral program.

1998 Dr.’s Malcolm Ree and Mark Green Joined the Faculty

In the second semester of the doctoral program (1999) there were only 14 students. By 2000, the second cohort brought the total number of students to 37. By 2002, the pipeline of first, second, third and fourth year doctoral students was filled, and some students from the first cohort were graduating.

In the first few years of the program both Dr.’s Ree and Green were part-time doctoral faculty. Dr. Ree had recently retired as a senior scientist from the Air Force and worked part time as a doctoral faculty.

Dr. Green divided his time between the Center for Leadership Studies and the School of Business. By 2001, both Dr.’s Ree and Green became full time leadership studies professors.

1999 The Center for Leadership Studies Logo was Developed

In the Spring semester of 1999, a part-time faculty member, Dr. Ruth Fagan-Wilen, held a small retreat as part of one of her classes. During that retreat, the first group of San Antonio doctoral students developed the elements that became the Center for Leadership Studies logo. The four virtues depicted are scholarship, community, diversity and integrity.

One of the Center for Leadership Studies advisory board members was a celebrated artist named Dr. Amy Freeman Lee.5 Dr. Lee turned the first San Antonio doctoral students’ thoughts into the logo the department began using that same year. Generally, the inter-connected triangles connote that there are multiple forms and types of leadership in organizations that must be integrated for success.

1999 Dr. Mark Green Became the First Academic Chair for Leadership Studies

In the period between 1999 and 2002, Dr. Alexander continued to serve as the Director of the Center for Leadership Studies and Dr. Mark Green became the first chair of the PhD program in leadership studies. Much of the activity during this period related to searching for full-time faculty who could perform research and direct dissertations, but who were also teaching-oriented.

Chapter 9 contains more details on faculty who have taught in the department. Between 1999 and 2002, Dr.’s Ruth Fagen-Wilen, Edyth Worley, Jody Westbrook, Brad Zehner, and Mary Utley each held full time faculty positions for one or two years.

1999 The Tradition of Cohort Leaders Began

The first doctoral cohort, perhaps rightly so, often referred to itself as the beta cohort. At the time of their admission there was a degree plan, but there were not policies and systems in place for activities such as comprehensive exams, dissertations, taking a semester off from the program and so forth.

During the summer semester of 1999, a variety of programmatic questions began to emerge. Dr.’s Ree, Green and the cohort members agreed that the cohort would be

well-served to elect two student leaders who could organize student questions and speak for the cohort. This system worked well and the tradition of electing cohort leaders has continued across all three campuses for both the masters and doctoral programs.

2000 The Tradition of a Fall Halloween Costume Luncheon Began

In the fall of 2000, the department began the tradition of a Halloween luncheon. The costume luncheon was the idea of San Antonio doctoral cohorts 1 and 2. By San Antonio doctoral cohort 7, the luncheon had evolved to include cohort parodies of life as a doctoral student or roasts of the faculty. The luncheon is now held on all three campuses each fall. Chapter 5, department rituals, contains additional information about both the fall and spring luncheons.

2001 The Convocation Ceremony was Developed

In 2000, the first cohort took their written and oral comprehensive exams. At the end of the process, neither Dr. Green nor Dr. Ree were quite sure how to help the students celebrate their achievements. The faculty mailed each student a nice, formal letter of congratulations, but that method didn’t seem particularly student-oriented.

Dr.’s Green, Ree and Alexander had several meetings with campus ministry director Wayne Romo to brainstorm ways to celebrate student milestones in a manner that seemed to fit the heritage of the Sisters of Divine Providence.

The idea of formally advancing students in a ceremony in the Sacred Heart Conventual Chapel began to take shape. The ceremony symbolizes the passing of the light of God’s infinite love and knowledge to members of the community. Prior to doctoral luminary and masters student comprehensive exams, members of the faculty and staff would pass the light of knowledge to each doctoral candidate. Three candidate representatives would then pass the light of knowledge to each new doctoral student, symbolizing the idea of a learning community.

Since 2000, the ceremony has expanded to include doctoral students who pass their first-year comprehensive exams, new masters students and masters candidates. The ceremony is held each fall on all three campuses: Houston, the Rio Grande Valley and San Antonio. Chapter 5, department rituals, contains additional information on the convocation ceremonies.

2001 The Tradition of Semester Progress Pie Charts Began

In 2001, Dr. Green noticed that once the enthusiasm of the first few semesters of doctoral work dissipated, the reality of balancing work, family and school for 10 additional semesters began to weigh on many students.

Dr. Green began the tradition of giving students a pie-chart at the end of each semester. Each semester’s pie-chart marks the students’ progress toward their degree.

Originally, the pie-charts were created as bookmarks, but evolved to a full sheet of paper with two mottos: that we pursue the doctorate or master’s degree because it is hard (we want to be challenged) and to honor those who helped us get here. Many of our students are the first in their families to earn a graduate degree and this reflection each semester seems particularly meaningful. Many students place their pie-charts in the outer sleeve of their next semesters’ binder.

2001 The Tradition of Department of Leadership Studies Polo Shirts Began Within the first and second San Antonio doctoral cohorts, several students had a strong sense of the value of community. They were the catalyst behind the creation of center (now department) polo shirts.

The original polo shirts were completely a student endeavor. Cohort leaders found vendors, collected orders and so forth. That tradition has now expanded to an actual web page shop on-line that carries Department of Leadership Studies polo shirts.

2001 A Bachelors in Organizational Leadership Began By 2000, interest in teaching leadership skills to undergraduate students was becoming popular at the collegiate level across the country. Dr.’s Alexander and Green designed and guided through the university’s reviewing bodies both a bachelor’s degree and minor in organizational leadership.

Once approved and launched, the BSOL degree and leadership minor was coordinated by Dr. Diana Garza-Ortiz. Unfortunately, as the graduate programs in leadership grew, less emphasis was placed on the undergraduate curriculum. When Dr. Garza-Ortiz left the university, the undergraduate programs lost a faculty member who held the title of coordinator, and attention to these programs has remained sporadic.

We do it because it is hard.

We do it to honor those who helped get us here.

2003 – 2004 Testing the Models and Traditions Developed

Discussions of Whether to Be a Center or a Department Different Types of Doctoral Degrees The period between 2003 and 2004 was a time of turmoil for both the Center for Leadership Studies and the San Antonio doctoral program. The turmoil primarily surrounded differences in opinions over what constitutes doctoral education. The tables below provide brief context.6

United States

OLLU Leadership Studies

Doctoral Degrees Awarded in 20157 178,547 25

Masters Degrees Awarded in 2015 758,708 30

Doctoral Granting Institutions with a Very High Level of Research Activity in 2015 115 Doctoral Granting Institutions with a High Level of Research Activity in 2015 104 Institutions Awarding at Least 20 Doctoral Degrees in 2015, with a Lower Level of Research Activity 109

The latest United States data are from 2015. In 2015, there were 219 institutions that awarded doctorates and that engaged in high or very high levels of research activity. The table above is abridged, but collectively, many institutions across the country awarded at least one doctorate in 2015.

Among the various institutions that award doctoral degrees, there is a great deal of variation in factors such as whether the institution is public or private, whether students can be part time doctoral students, whether students must be teaching assistants, whether dissertations are historical, quantitative or qualitative, the degree to which acquiring grant dollars through research is emphasized or how much faculty-student time is allocated.

Institutions Awarding at Least 20 Doctoral Degrees in 2015, with a Lower Level of Research Activity 109 Private (Such as OLLU) 54 Public 38 Private For-Profit 17

In 2015, the doctoral program at Our Lady of the Lake was one of the 17 institutions that fell into the classification of a private institution that awards 20 plus doctoral degrees each year. Within that classification, however, Our Lady of the Lake is also a Catholic institution.

Despite the wide variety of practices among various institutions that grant doctoral degrees, there seems to be a natural tendency for university administrators and professors to gravitate toward beliefs that how they earned their doctorates was “the best” way.

Opinions that the leadership studies PhD should resemble doctoral programs at large research institutions became

pronounced in 2003 – 2004.

2005 A Return to Community and Teaching

After weathering difficult times in the years 2003 – 2004, the department began to flourish again in 2005. Dr. Ree had begun the process of restoring the culture of the doctoral program during his tenure as chair from 2003 – 2005. By 2005, additional administrative talent was also having an impact on the program.

2005 Valerie Hernandez, John Stephenson and Dr. Green Serve in Management and Leadership Roles

John Stephenson joined the center/department as an administrator in 2002, and served until 2006. In 2004, Valerie Hernandez became the center/department’s office manager and served until 2014. In 2005, Dr. Green began a second term as chair, serving until 2010.

2005, 2006 Dr.’s Meghan Carmody-Bubb and Phyllis Duncan Joined the Faculty

Dr. Meghan Carmody-Bubb joined the faculty in 2005. She is a tenured, Professor of Leadership Studies. Between 2005-2018 she served as the coordinator for the MSOL program in San Antonio. She teaches research methods and statistics, decision making and conflict management. Dr. Phyllis Duncan joined the faculty in 2006. She is also a tenured, Professor of Leadership Studies. Between 2008 and 2014 Dr. Duncan served as the founding coordinator for the PhD program in the Rio Grande Valley. She has taught a variety of leadership courses, and since 2011 has served as the coordinator of the PhD program in San Antonio. Dr. Duncan has also received the university’s Spirit of 1895 and Spirit of Father John Moye awards. Both Dr.’s Carmody-Bubb and Duncan immediately helped Dr.’s Ree and Green to move the culture of the department toward a teaching-oriented, student-centered department. Dr.’s Carmody-Bubb and Duncan are also women of deep faith and feel a special calling to work with the students in leadership studies as part of living the mission of the university and honoring the charisms of the Sisters of Divine Providence. Chapter 9 provides additional information on all faculty who have influenced leadership studies students over the last 20 years. As of 2018, 11 faculty taught in the department.

2005 The Tradition of Department of Leadership Studies Newsletters Began

During the period of 1998 to 2002, Dr. Green provided handouts each class weekend that outlined forthcoming events and important information.

During 2003 to 2004 the leaders of the department stopped providing frequent information, building on a philosophy that doctoral students should be able to find answers on their own.

As the department continued to grow, the student body consisted of bachelors, masters and doctoral students. Additionally, doctoral students who were at the dissertation stage of their journeys came much less frequently to campus than they did while enrolled in courses.

In 2005, Dr. Green began publishing a newsletter about 6 times each semester. The newsletter evolved from simple information and announcements to include celebrations of student accomplishments. The newsletter was provided physically to all on campus students, and was also emailed to department students, alum and stakeholders. That tradition has continued and is described in greater detail in chapter 5, rituals

2005 The Doctoral and Masters Degree Candidacy Medallions Were Developed and Integrated into Convocation Ceremonies

The convocation ceremonies always included the passing of the light of knowledge ceremony. Beginning in 2005, the department added medallions to the ceremony.

Masters students are awarded medallions after they pass their written and oral candidacy exams. Doctoral students are awarded medallions after they pass their luminary (first-year) written and oral comprehensive exams.

2005 The Master of Science in Organizational Leadership Was Converted to a Cohort Model

Because the doctoral program had been successful using a cohort model, the faculty elected to move the MS in Organizational Leadership to a cohort model as well.

Cohort 1 began their program of study in Fall, 2005. As of 2018, there had been eight MSOL cohorts in the Rio Grande Valley and 23 cohorts in San Antonio.

2006 The Master of Science in Organizational Leadership Students Began to Participate in Convocation Ceremonies

Once the MSOL was created, the faculty added the masters students to the convocation ceremonies.

Masters students participate in their first semester in the program and participate a second time when they are advanced to masters candidacy. When the masters students are advanced to candidacy they also receive their candidacy medallions.

2006 Dr.’s Esther Gergan and Diana Garza-Ortiz were selected as Teaching Associates

By 2006, the study of leadership had evolved as a unique discipline. The department, however, had difficulty finding professors who were deeply trained in the study of leadership.

Because of the doctoral program requirements, professors hired needed to have sufficient training in quantitative methods of research to help students comprehend complex leadership articles in the peer-reviewed literature.

Additionally, professors needed to be fluent in the leadership literature. Finally, in addition to having a deep understanding of the leadership literature and having the ability to guide student research, the professors needed to be willing to be servant-leaders whose primary focus was teaching.

Applicants for full time positions were often successful leaders with little or no teaching or research experience; successful researchers who didn’t want to be servant leaders to students; or professors who had successfully taught undergraduate students but lacked the credentials to guide doctoral dissertation research.

Dr. Green conceived of, and Dr.’s Alexander and Benoist programmatically supported a plan to identify two promising doctoral students who wanted a career in higher education. These doctoral students were provided with a two-year preparatory experience as teaching associates in the department. From dozens of applicants, (now) Dr.’s Esther Gergen and Garza-Ortiz were selected.

Dr. Diana Garza-Ortiz originally taught for the department and now teaches at the University of the Incarnate Word. Dr. Gergen has advanced from a doctoral student teaching associate to a tenured Associate Professor who is the Chair of Leadership Studies.

The Doctoral Program in the Rio Grande Valley was Created 2007 The Department of Leadership Studies Merged with the School of Business and Leadership

In 2005, the Center for Leadership Studies transitioned to the Department of Leadership Studies. At that time, the department became part of the School of Professional Studies. Between 2005 and 2007 discussions occurred regarding whether the department would be a better fit as part of the then, School of Business.

Dr. Green developed and administered a survey to the existing doctoral and masters students as well as alum. Generally, the students and alum didn’t have strong opinions on a merger with the School of Business as long as the curriculum and culture continued.

The faculty weighed the pros and cons and decided the department would be a better fit aligned with the School of Business.

As the department had grown very large, compared with the other School of Business departments, the move was generally seen as a merger. This resulted in the newly formed School of Business and Leadership.

2007 Dr. Robert Bisking Became the First Dean of the School of Business and Leadership

Dr. Robert Bisking became the Dean of the School of Business in 2004. Dr. Bisking was a member of the second San Antonio doctoral cohort and graduated with his PhD in 2002. Shortly thereafter, he became an assistant professor in the School of Business, and in 2004, he became the dean.

Following the merger, Dean Bisking provided leadership for the department’s expansion to both the Rio Grande Valley and Houston.

The Doctoral Program in the Rio Grande Valley was Created 2008 The Doctoral Program in the Rio Grande Valley was Created

The Sisters of Divine Providence were founded in order to serve people whose needs were being neglected in their time and place. Education of the rural poor was their primary work, but that work was placed within a broad vision of ministry. Father Moye sent the sisters not only to teach but to renew people's faith and serve them constantly through works of mercy (CDP Constitution, article 50).

In 2008, the faculty of the department began offering the doctoral program in leadership studies in the Rio Grande Valley. The faculty believe they are continuing the spirit of the original Sisters of Divine Providence by providing education to working adults who otherwise could not study leadership at the doctoral level. The faculty also regularly remind themselves of Father Moye’s charge to not only teach but to renew people's faith and serve them constantly through works of mercy.

In the fall of 2018, members of the 11th doctoral cohort began their journeys with the department. As of that time, over 200 Rio Grande Valley doctoral students had studied leadership in the department.

Appendix A A Timeline of Milestones in the History of the Department of Leadership Studies

1762 – 1910

The Origins of Our Lady of the Lake Academy

1762

In Alsace, France, Father John Martin Moye was concerned for the education of children in the surrounding villages. To provide education to the village children, he recruited the first Sisters of Divine Providence. In 1762, Father Moye began sending the young women, alone or by twos, into local villages to provide not only academic education to the children but also education in their faith.8

1866 - 1868

Following the civil war, Texas had a great need for schools. Bishop Dubuis of Texas asked many of the European orders to send men and women religious to Texas.

In 1866, Mother St. Andrew Feltin and Sister Alphonse came to Texas to educate children who were unable to otherwise receive an education.

In 1867, the sisters opened their first parochial school in Texas, St. Mary’s School.

In 1868, the Bishop asked the Sisters to establish their motherhouse in Castroville, Texas, an Alsatian immigrant town west of San Antonio.9

1895

The railroad system in Texas was growing, but still limited. Castroville was less accessible by rail than San Antonio. Mother Florence Walter had the vision to establish Our Lady of the Lake Academy in San Antonio.

San Antonio Mayor Henry Elmendorf deeded 18 acres of land for a school south of Elmendorf Lake to the sisters, on the condition that they spend $75,000 (approximately $2.4 Million in 2018) on improvements in ten years.

That same year, Mother Florence Walter moved the motherhouse from Castroville to San Antonio.10
