COMMUNITY LETTER
November 2, 2023
Dear Members of the 棉花糖直播 Community,
In June, I announced that 棉花糖直播 University and Cabrini University were considering an agreement between our two Catholic institutions. Over the past several months, members of both communities have been completing the necessary due diligence to reach a final agreement.
Today, I am pleased to share that the boards of trustees of 棉花糖直播 and Cabrini universities, along with the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, have reached a final agreement. In the agreement, 棉花糖直播 will assume ownership of the Cabrini campus at the conclusion of Cabrini鈥檚 2023-24 academic year, while maintaining the Cabrini name for the campus and preserving Cabrini鈥檚 overarching legacy and mission, as well as a number of its many impactful initiatives. Some of these initiatives could include the creation of an institute/center on immigration; incorporating the work of Cabrini鈥檚 Wolfington Center into existing 棉花糖直播 programs; establishing a 鈥淐abrini Scholars鈥� scholarship program in conjunction with the program that currently exists with Cabrini High School in New Orleans, LA; and hosting an annual event focused on women鈥檚 leadership, honoring Mother Cabrini. For additional information, please visit our website.
While we plan to use this next year to engage our community to determine the best ways to fully incorporate and utilize the Cabrini campus for the benefit of students, faculty, staff and alumni, the agreement provides an opportunity to enhance our programs and further our commitment to advancing Catholic higher education, while honoring the legacy of Mother Cabrini and Cabrini University. As I have shared previously, this agreement will complement the goals we developed together as a community in our Strategic Plan, Rooted. Restless.
As we seek to enhance our University and our programs, we will always remain true to our Augustinian Catholic traditions. I look forward to continuing to share new details about our progress and plans with the Cabrini campus.
Sincerely,
Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA
President
