The accomplishments of the women who currently attend or previously attended Loras are many. From classroom achievement to cocurricular success to the professional achievements among our alumnae, the collective profile of the women of Loras is both humbling and inspiring.

In this issue, we are pleased to highlight just a handful of the many amazing Loras women who comprise the Loras community. They are outstanding Duhawks who have continued to contribute to their alma mater in numerous and varied ways. Their stories and accomplishments are the hallmark of what makes our College the incredible institution it is today. In addition, you will read about five alumnae who published a book celebrating the library’s rare books collection, started when they were students. Finally, we celebrate the achievement of our women’s track and field program, which claimed their third consecutive outdoor national championship as well as their first indoor national title these past few years. The accomplishments of our student athletes never get old.

We have incorporated articles about significant donations made by our alumni to support the academic experience of our students through the creation of two new scholarships. You will note that we have alumni succeeding in athletics in professional football, professional soccer, and in the promotion of volleyball around the world. There is also a peek into the hard work being done by students in our science labs.

We love to boast about all Duhawks, but with the significant anniversary of coeducation on campus, we take a little extra pride in how far we have come as a source of education for all and continue to strive to be a place everyone can continue to call their home.

Go Duhawks!

Pro Deo et Patria

Loras College Earns Recognition as CFA Institute Program

Loras College has bolstered its financial offerings with entry in the CFA Institute University Affiliation Program. Loras becomes just the third higher education institution in Iowa and the only one that is a small, private college to be recognized with the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) designation and have a certified financial planning board-registered program.

Entry into the CFA Institute University Affiliation Program signals to potential students, employers, and the marketplace that Loras’ curriculum is closely tied to professional practice and is wellsuited to preparing students to sit for the CFA examinations. Through participation in this program, Loras is eligible to receive CFA Program Student Scholarships each year.

“This is one of the top finance designations globally,” Eric Eller, PhD, associate professor of finance, said. “It means we are prepping our students to effectively pursue this path and opens up opportunities for scholarships to assist with that pursuit. The biggest impact is that students can tout on their resume they completed a program with the CFA affiliation.”

Faculty/Staff Notes

Beyond Biology: Rethinking Parenthood in the Catholic Tradition, a book by Jake Kohlhaas, PhD, associate professor of moral theology, was awarded second place in the Catholic Media Association’s 2022 book awards in the Marriage and Family Living category. Published in 2021 by Georgetown University Press, Kohlhaas’ book examines the theology of parenthood, integrating Catholic social thought and social scientific studies of child well-being in order to offer a more diverse and inclusive interpretation.

Jim Pollock, PhD, professor of English, released his second book of poetry, Durable Goods. Twenty-five of the poems in the book have been published or accepted for publication in literary journals in the US, the UK, and Canada with one winning Magma Poetry’s editors prize in 2020. Pollock has previously won the Manchester Poetry Prize as part of the Manchester Writing Competition 2020, the United Kingdom’s biggest prize for unpublished literary work.

Kenny Loui, PhD, assistant professor of criminal justice, has a new comic book.

BY THE BOOK

Morgan Muenster (’20) is proud to be a coauthor of a book featuring manuscript illustrations in the Loras College library’s special collections, but it got off to a rocky start.

“Originally, I was not excited for the class project because I am not usually a fan of group work,” she said.

The book, Sacred Fantasies: Medieval Illuminations in the Loras College library, originated in a history class taught by John Eby, PhD, professor of history, focused on the Middle Ages. One of the assignments of the course was a group project focused on the medieval manuscripts in the library where students could choose how they wanted to present their findings. The class chose to write a book.

Muenster was joined by Hannah Bernhard (’19), Brigid Flaherty (’20), Amelia Foley (’21), and Courtney Knight (’21) and planned the outline for the final book. “It was nice knowing I’d be working with

to focus on the visually stunning images in the manuscripts,” Bernhard explained.

In the end, the ambition of creating a book was too much for a single class so Eby extended an offer to any students interested in continuing the work beyond the semester. “It is honestly wild to think about how much of this book was put together over Zoom calls,” Foley recalled. “We would have entire calls about a single image or a specific detail on one page. Despite years of full class schedules, extra curriculars, study abroad, all of us graduating, living in three different states, and to top it off a global pandemic, somehow we managed to pull it off!”

topics that may be fascinating to readers. He was definitely the creative mind in the group, coming up with many of the amazing chapter titles,” Muenster said.

Sacred Fantasies’ overarching themes include an exploration of Catholic sacramentality through art, the importance of a love of learning for the Catholic intellectual tradition, and the importance of the natural world for spiritual reflection.

It's available for purchase at the Loras College Bookstore & River Lights Bookstore.

Loras Commits to Catholic Church’s Sustainability Initiative

Loras College has signed on as one of the Catholic colleges and universities committed to Pope Francis’ appeal for a renewed focus on ecological preservation. The College joins other institutions around the globe committing to a seven-year effort toward a more sustainable campus and planet.

The Laudato Si’ Action Platform is a unique collaboration between the Vatican, an international coalition of Catholic organizations and “all men and women of good will” according to the official website. The platform presents seven goals to help guide the efforts to strive toward total sustainability.

“Loras College is honored to be part of this large network of Catholic entities committed to advance Pope Francis’ powerful Laudato Si’ message through this seven-year journey,” President Jim Collins (’84) said. “We are especially pleased to join the many Catholic colleges and universities from across the world in partnering toward the Holy Father’s seven goals.”

Laudato Si’: On Care for our Common Home is an encyclical written by Pope Francis. Published in 2015, it calls on people to engage in prayerful reflection and action to protect and preserve the Earth and its inhabitants. The name comes from the first line of the book that translates to “praise be to you, my Lord.”

50 Years of COEDUCATION 1980s

In the fall of 1971,

seventy-five women stepped onto the Loras College campus as full-time students. It marked a seismic shift in both enrollment and outcomes for the College that continues today.

In honor of that moment, we look back on fifty years of coeducation at Loras College by hearing from five women—one from each decade—to reflect on the impact of their Loras experiences.

You can read more about each of these incredible women at daily.loras.edu/Coed50.

1970s

When Chris (Steffen) Korte (’76), MBA, arrived on campus as a student, nothing felt out of the ordinary. She felt like she belonged there. It was a feeling that never went away.

Kathy (Hopinkah) Hannan (’83) CPA made herself right at home as an undergrad.

A member of the Ho-Chunk Nation Tribe, diversity has always been an important aspect of Hannan’s life. She felt the intimate community of Loras celebrated its diversity in both gender and ethnicity throughout her time on campus.

“It was very equal, not just men and women, but everyone. It helped provide a comfort level of what ‘real’ is in the world and gave me a confidence that I can work with anyone and be comfortable seeking out differing opinions,” she said.

Korte was part of the initial class of women to attend Loras College after it shifted to a coeducational institution for the 1971-72 academic year. Despite the significant shift in the campus population, she didn’t remember the experiences of the women being anything unusual.

“We were all women who were focused on becoming successful. I look back on it now thinking of the significance, I know how special it was being on campus. At that time, though, there were quite a few women around and I was just thinking, since I was in college, I needed to get my degree. Nothing felt out of the ordinary.”

1990s

The mention of Loras College instantly triggers feelings for Autumn (Esch) Pino (’99 MA ’03).

“I immediately go back to that place where I could be my authentic self while still growing as a person,” she said.

After nineteen years as a school principal, Pino is settling into her new role as superintendent of both the Lisbon Community School District and Springville School District in Iowa.

“As a servant leader, I knew that I could contribute and it just felt right,” she explained.

2000s

All it took for Wendy Schrunk (’07) to fall in love with Loras College was a single campus visit.

“There was an instant sense of community,” she recalled. She's returned to campus many times since graduating fifteen years ago.

“I didn’t do it on my own and we shouldn’t expect current students to do it on their own, either,” she said. “There is so much that I have benefitted from; to not give back, I don’t think I could do that. My ongoing relationship with Loras continues to benefit me today. It just makes me better.”

2010s

When Brittney (Cato) Kushnir (’13), JD, arrived on campus for her first year, being both Black and Puerto Rican, many of the comforts she was used to were not available.

“It took some getting used to, but it speaks volumes about the Loras community to find other things that make up for the elements you are missing,” she said.

Now practicing business and commercial law in Chicago, Cato still speaks with students at her alma mater to share those experiences.

“I think it is important to give students of color the support they need in that journey. I know first year Brittney would have loved someone to talk to, someone who was just in her shoes, and could coach me through it. I am all for it,” she said.

From Media Studies to Any Given Sunday

When Michael Runde (’20) applied for an internship with the Washington Football Team, now the Washington Commanders, he didn’t think much of his chances to earn an interview let alone be hired for the position. After graduation, he was working as a video strategist at Honkamp Krueger & Co., P.C., and wasn’t really thinking about a significant change, but submitted his name for the internship anyway.

“It looked like a cool opportunity, but I didn’t think some guy from a Division III school was going to really be considered,” Runde recalled. “I couldn’t believe it when they reached out for an interview.”

Creating content for a professional football team is a far cry from where he was during his first year at Loras. Uncertain about what he was going to study and not certain he even wanted to stay at the College, a chance conversation with Craig Schaefer (’89), professor of media studies, prompted Michael to take a media studies class for his second semester. It changed the trajectory of his future.

Runde was involved with LCTV and did video work centered around athletics. For his capstone project, he worked with Ben Burkholder (’20), Ben Friedman (’20), and Pat Hunt (’20) on a documentary about the abrupt end of the 2020 winter

athletics season due to COVID-19. That film, One Stolen Moment, was one of the experiences from Loras that led to his current position.

Washington hired the Dubuque native and he spent a year doing video production for the professional team. Working as an intern, he was able to gain a breadth of experiences and see multiple facets of how to promote the organization.

This past spring, Runde was able to translate that experience into a new position in the NFL when he landed a job as a digital video editor for the New England Patriots. Just three weeks into the job, he was turning around hype videos announcing the Patriots’ draft selections.

“It was an interesting experience. There were bursts of activity announcing each pick with long waits in between. I still can’t quite believe I get to do this for my job,” he said.

Ambassadors Strengthening Alumni

The Loras College National Alumni Board has created the Loras College Alumni Ambassador program to build relationships between alumni, and grow their bonds with the College through giving and engagement.

Through the program, alumni serve as ambassadors with their classmates to reengage them with their alma mater through participating in events, getting more involved through online activities, and bolstering their giving.

With the launch of the program, Loras is encouraging alumni with an interest in engagement and philanthropy to sign up. Anyone serving as an ambassador would continue to share the message of the College with fellow Duhawks.

Valder Gives $750,000 TO BOLSTER SOCIAL JUSTICE INITIATIVES

A gift of $750,000 from Janet Valder will be used to bolster the existing endowed fund earlier established by Janet and her late husband, Michael (’62), in honor of Mike’s brother, Robert (’60), in support of social justice initiatives at Loras College. This gift will raise the total corpus of the fund to $1 million to provide greater and more sustained support to the funded initiatives.

“We hope our investment will include presenting real-life encounters and discussions about prejudice, teaching justice in everyday life and the world, seeking wisdom from diversity, hearing different voices of visiting faculty and national speakers, demonstrating change in our lives and studying Catholic social teachings,” Valder said.

With this gift, the fund is renamed the Loras Peace, Justice, and Diversity Endowed Fund. Previously known as the Valder Social Justice Scholarship, the fund invests in the personal growth of Loras community members related to a number of areas, including

Leo Catholic High School Scholarship

interfaith understanding, social justice, environmental justice and sustainability, immigration, inclusion and racial diversity.

Created by Mike and Janet in 1987, the endowed fund now supports summer internship experiences for rising seniors at social justice organizations in addition to faculty and staff

projects that align with the mission and vision of the fund.

“Loras’ gratitude to Janet as well as to Mike cannot be overstated,” President Jim Collins (’84) said. “Their decades-long commitment has produced countless transformative experiences for Loras students.”

“I feel the values, mission, and vision instilled at Loras College build on those learned by students at Leo High School,” Lynch said. “They develop the skills needed to be successful and contribute to the needs of today’s broad competitive society.”

Bill graduated from Loras College with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and earned his MBA from the University of Iowa two years later. He began his career at Leo Burnett Advertising as a trainee and media buyer and moved through the ranks to become president and CEO of both Leo

Burnett Company, Inc. and Leo Burnett Worldwide, Inc. After a successful thirty-one years in advertising with one of the largest agencies in the world, Bill retired in 1997 to assist numerous business, civic, and religious organizations in the Chicagoland area, including Big Shoulders Fund of Chicago. Leo Catholic High School is a Big Shoulders Fund school.

“Bill and Kathleen have dedicated their lives to Catholic education. On behalf of the entire Loras community, I am grateful to Bill and Kathleen for their unfailing generosity over the years,” President Jim Collins (’84) said.

Thanks to the generosity of Bill (’64) and Kathleen Lynch, Loras College has established an endowed scholarship fund to support students from Leo Catholic High School in Chicago, Illinois.

Public Health Major

Loras College is offering students a new option with the debut of the public health major beginning this fall. The program is the latest of recent additions focused on health.

Donna Heald, provost, said. “The program prepares students well to go directly into the workforce or to pursue graduate study in public health or a complimentary area of interest.

The public health major is for students who have an interest in the sociocultural aspects of health or are interested in learning how we can prevent disease and disability within our communities. Students may be interested in work focusing on health education and promotion, public health policy, public health nursing, or non-profit/governmental work.

LORAS EARNS HIGH MARKS IN NATIONAL RANKINGS

Loras College has been named the tenth Best Regional College in the Midwest —a twelve state region—according to the 2023 U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges rankings. Loras also ranked sixth in Best Value and was the top college or university in Iowa to make the Best Undergraduate Teaching designation, ranking third.

Additionally, Washington Monthly placed Loras in the top thirty on two of their recent 2022 lists. Loras ranked twentyeighth on the Best Bachelor’s Colleges and thirtieth on the Best Bang for the Buck Colleges in the Midwest, which ranks college and universities according to how well they help non-wealthy students attain marketable degrees at affordable prices.

ESTABLISHING THEIR CULTURE

As part of their work in the master of science in biomedical sciences program, Charles Chang (MS ’23) and Morgan Lee (MS ’23) have spent their first year doing research on cultures. Yeast cultures.

With the assistance of Bryce Taylor, PhD, assistant professor of biology, they are working in the lab to develop yeast strains capable of better industrial performance, including the creation of biofuels like ethanol. Their efforts are continuing the work Taylor did as part of his post-doctorate work at the University of Washington.

“What we are trying to do is optimize yeast that will be well suited for different applications,” Taylor explained. “The way we do this is through an evolutionary process. Yeast used in industrial settings encounter a novel environment they have never encountered before, and oftentimes it is bad for them.”

Yeasts used for beer or bread have been specialized over hundreds of years and are well-adapted to the environmental conditions they face during food production. Yeasts used for industrial work encounter new and sometimes stressful

surroundings they are not adapted to deal with, like high temperatures or the presence of toxic chemicals. For instance, some biofuel producing yeasts are fed a sugary substance that contains acids that yeast struggle to tolerate. This research hopes to change that.

“What Charles and Morgan are doing now is systematically exposing yeast to some of the acids they might experience in this process. Over time, if the yeast gets a mutation that makes them more resistant to the acid, they're going to

thrive. At the end, we can pick out the most resistant.” Taylor said.

Lee has transitioned to an individual project for her second year that enhances the function of two genes that create flavor compounds to make more flavorful beer and wine.

Now in his second year, Chang is working on multi-drug resistance in the yeast to hopefully increase the cell’s sensitivity to various drugs.

GETTING HIS KICKS

After showing off his prowess on the soccer pitch as a Duhawk, Zeke Kyoore (’20 MAT ’21) is now helping ensure the next generation of players are developing and staying healthy in his new profession.

Kyoore graduated as a kinesiology major and earned his masters degree in athletic training from Loras. While in high school, he knew he wanted to work in professional sports.

Following his time at Loras, Kyoore completed an internship at The Ohio State University with the men’s and women’s track and field programs. Since joining the Timbers, Kyoore is a part of the success of the academy’s U15 team. Kyoore is quick to acknowledge the role that Loras played in setting him on his career path.

“When I found athletic training, I realized it was the perfect blend of sports medicine and performance training that allowed me to work with athletes at a high level.”

Kyoore is the head academy athletic trainer with the Portland

Timbers. The academy is a developmental team that works with elite youth soccer players throughout Oregon and southwest Washington. Through advanced training and competitive opportunities, they create a pathway from the youth levels to the pros with the Timbers' first team.

“So far, the experience has been great. I love working with kids and getting the opportunity to work in high-level soccer,” he said. “I collaborate with coaches and performance specialists to ensure the health and safety of each athlete is a top priority.

LORAS ESTABLISHES ANDREW J. AUGE Promising Literature Scholar Scholarship

Loras College established a new scholarship in honor of former Professor of English Andy Auge (’78), PhD, who retired in May 2022.

The Andrew J. Auge Promising Literature Scholar Scholarship will be awarded to a Duhawk within the English major, specifically for students interested in literature.

After graduating from Loras in 1978, Auge returned to Loras to teach in 1987. Over the years, his courses in Irish Literature, British Literature, and Literary Criticism, as well as his work with study abroad, have touched countless students. His books and articles on Irish poetry, Catholic identity and environmental concerns are well respected in the field.

11 Fall 2022 | LORAS COLLEGE
Faculty gathered to celebrate Andy Augue’s retirement and the announcement of the new scholarship in his name.

A pair of Loras College volleyball student-athletes represented the Duhawks on an international stage in June as senior Patrick Mahoney (’23) and recent graduate Lyndsi Wilgenbusch ('22) traveled to Brazil as members of the USA D-III volleyball teams.

The USA D-III teams are comprised of some of the top NCAA Division III talent in the county, including All-American, All-Region, and All-Conference players. In total, the men's team featured student-athletes from eight different schools while the women's team saw six schools represented.

"Representing Loras on an international scale was very rewarding and definitely made me feel like I was leaving Loras the best way I could," said Wilgenbusch, who earned All-Region and All-Conference honors as a senior in 2021.

Playing in Brazil gave both Mahoney and Wilgenbusch a chance to play high-level volleyball with some of the top talent in Division III, but it also allowed them to learn and understand more about other cultures outside of the sport.

"One of the many reasons why I chose to attend Loras was because of how close the team was outside of the court," Mahoney said. "As our USA team got to know each other more and become closer as the trip went on, we played significantly better. It was clear to me that our synergy grew from the first game to the last. We constantly progressed as a team the tighter we got, and I look forward to experiencing that at Loras this upcoming season."
