From the
November 2005 issue of Alverno Alpha (Student Newspaper) p. 1.
On the
evening of November 8, 2005 (only a few weeks after celebrating the building's
40th Anniversary at Homecoming,) President Mary Meehan announced that the
Campus Center would be renamed in honor of Sr. Austin Doherty, whose service
and dedication to Alverno exemplifies the spirit of the foundresses of the
School Sisters of St. Francis.
Mary made the announcement at the Celebration of Giving dinner, where the
School Sisters were presented the Bene award for the generous support they've
provided to Alverno College during its 118-year history. Mary commented that
no one on campus has led a more student-centered life than Austin and it was
fitting that a place where students lived, worked and studied should be named
in her honor.
