Winter Commencement Honors 2016 Summer and Fall Graduates
The Walsh community celebrated the academic and personal accomplishments of
more than 300 winter graduates with a Commencement Ceremony on December 18
in the Alumni Arena of the Cecchini Health and Wellness Complex.
During the ceremony, the Distinguished Service Medal was presented to Sister Karen
Lindenberger for her committed service and work with the Hispanic community as the
Hispanic Pastoral Minister at St. Anthony/All Saints Parish in Canton. This honor is
awarded to those who have rendered distinguished professional or voluntary service to
others within the national, regional or local Walsh community.
The Honorable James B. Renacci served as Commencement Speaker and was awarded a
Walsh Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters. Renacci was elected to the United States
House of Representatives in November of 2010 and is serving his third term representing
the 16th district of Ohio. Currently he serves on the House Ways and Means Committee
and the House Budget Committee. His service to Walsh University includes the newly
announced James B. Renacci Forum & Center for Civic Engagement.
Business Club Luncheon Welcomes Alumni, Pledges Digital Media
Across the Curriculum
The Walsh University Business Club Scholarship Luncheon marked its 50th Anniversary by
welcoming three alumni executives from Twitter, American Greetings and Verizon to discuss
“the Digital Transformation.” On November 17, in honor of Founders’ Day, more than 370
people were in attendance to welcome Ged Tarpey ’03, Twitter, Inc., Head of Media and
Entertainment, West; Carol Miller ’93, American Greetings, Vice President, Corporate
Innovation; and Bobby Morrison ’05, Verizon Wireless, Senior Vice President, Digital
Operations. The alumni trio also met with students in several classes, toured The Garage
student innovation and entrepreneurship center, participated in a Salon Event at Gervasi
Vineyard and presented in a Master Class Lecture moderated by Sam Falletta, CEO of
Incept Results Corporation, a local customer relationship digital media firm.
During the Master Class, Vice President for Academic Affairs Douglas Palmer, Ph.D.,
announced that all students, starting with those enrolling fall 2017, will be required to take
one course with a substantial embedded digital media component such as digitally shared
videos, digital games, online tutorials or interactive webpages. This new co-curricular
component was added with the intent of preparing Walsh graduates for digital
competency in the 21st Century global workplace.
More than 500 Gather to Celebrate the Life and Legacy of Mother Teresa
More than 500 people joined Walsh to welcome special guest Sister Dominga, M.C., and
formally celebrate its Honorary Alumna, Saint Teresa of Calcutta, foundress of the Missionaries
of Charity, on Wednesday, November 9. Sister Dominga has been a member of the Missionaries
of Charity for 37 years and lived and worked with Mother Teresa. Currently, she serves at
Gift of Grace House in Atlanta, a home that serves indigent women who have AIDS.
“I want to start out by saying that Mother, Saint Teresa of Calcutta, would not have wanted,
and could not have conceived, a celebration of her life and legacy apart from Jesus. For her,
she was just a little pencil in His hand. And her own desire was not to resist that hand,” said

Student Government Meeting Room Dedicated to Former
Student Representative
This October, the official meeting room of the Walsh University Student Government
(WUSG) was dedicated to recognize James “Beanie” McPartlin ’67. During the October
20 WUSG general meeting, Room 108 in the Timken Natural Science Center was
formally dedicated as the James & Joan McPartlin Lecture Room.
McPartlin’s life of service represents the mission and values of Walsh and serves as an
example for every WUSG member. In honor of that service, WUSG will also recognize an
outstanding senator for his or her commitment to WUSG with the annual James McPartlin
Senator of the Year Award.
During his sophomore year at Walsh, McPartlin was elected class representative on student
council and continued to serve the student body every year until his graduation in 1967.
After graduation, McPartlin joined the Peace Corps in India, where he educated the local
population on irrigation systems. Upon his return to the U.S., he was drafted and served his
country in Vietnam. McPartlin is a 35-year member of the Massachusetts National Guard,
retiring as Master Sergeant, the highest position for a non-commissioned officer. Outside of
the military, he enjoyed a career as an educator in a community just outside of Boston.
Student Organized “Hoover Hop” Benefits Hurricane Matthew Victims in Haiti
On Friday, October 14, more than 120 students gathered at the Hoover Pavilion for a night
of swing and oldies dancing at the Hoover Hop. The dance was hosted through a partnership
between Campus Outreach of the President’s Office and The Brotherhood, a group of
young men challenging each other to grow in their faith through service, prayer, and
community. Ticket sale proceeds went to the Missionaries of Charity to fund their work in the
orphanages and communities in Haiti, especially those most affected by Hurricane Matthew.
Juniors Naomi del Guidice, an intern with Walsh’s Campus Outreach, and Danny Fill, a
leader in The Brotherhood, wanted to create a dance on campus that was not only fun
but also would build Walsh’s sense of community while benefiting a good cause. The event
was a success with nearly $700 raised to help orphans in Haiti. The student leaders hope to
use the dance’s popularity as precedent and host a “Dance for Dignity” every semester as
a fundraiser to benefit different human dignity issues. They are also working on starting a
swing dancing student organization on campus.
Building Gift to Walsh Preserves IBEW Local 1985 Union and Hoover
Company Legacy
In an agreement that underscores community engagement and a shared vision to preserve a
local legacy, the former Hoover Company’s International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
Local 1985, AFL-CIO, donated its longtime headquarters at 113 South Main Street, North
Canton, to Walsh University.
The initiative was spearheaded by the President and Business Manager of IBEW Local 1985,
Nick J. Tomey, and approved by Local 1985’s Officers, Executive Board, the remaining
Union Members and the International union leadership. The building will be primarily
used for educational purposes, with a focus on extending Walsh’s Museum Studies program
by utilizing the main floor exhibit area for preservation and display of the IBEW Local
1985’s artifacts and for rotating exhibits as determined by Walsh.
“We want this building to become another hub in which Walsh can interact with the
community,” said Dr. Douglas Palmer. “The location is situated perfectly downtown
between our civic leadership in City Hall on one side and private leadership in the Chamber
of Commerce next door. Our goal is to be the bridge where public and private interests will TOP TO BOTTOM:

Final Stage of the We Believe Campaign Leads to
New Beginnings
This November—almost four years to the day from when the We Believe Campaign
officially launched in 2012—we began construction on Walsh University’s newest
academic building, the Global Learning Center. While this represents a landmark
expansion of our campus, the really significant growth will be in the lives of our
students as they embark on their own academic and spiritual journeys at Walsh.
Student success has been at the heart of every decision, request and achievement during Walsh’s largest
capital campaign in school history. Through the generosity of our donors, the We Believe Campaign is
poised for success in its final year.
Together, we have:
• Nearly doubled Walsh’s endowment over the past four years
• Helped the Walsh Fund exceed $1 million for the first time in school history
• Achieved the 70 by ’17 initiative goal to establish 70 new scholarships by 2017
• Raised a total of $26,379 for student scholarships during the first Brothers of Christian Instruction
Appreciation Challenge held November 2016
• Completed the St. John Paul II Center for Science Innovation
• Dedicated the Gary and Linda Byers School of Nursing
• Opened the Rambo Center for Advanced Nursing Lab
• Celebrated the establishment of donor-sponsored classrooms including the Global Learning Center’s
Saint Gabriel Media Lab, OnBase Engineering Classroom and Mother Angelica Video Production Lab
• Began construction on the Global Learning Center, a two-story, 44,100-square-foot, state of the art
academic facility that will promote collaboration, creativity and teaching excellence, scheduled to open
January 2018
None of this would be possible without the generosity and support of the extended Walsh community – our
dedicated alumni, Board of Directors, faculty, staff, students and friends. You are the people who believed
in this campaign from the very beginning and who have joined together to ensure its success.
Although we are proud of the accomplishments we’ve achieved so far, by no means will we be resting on
our laurels. Through the final year of this campaign, our students will remain the driving force that propels
us toward the finish line. With 98 percent of Walsh students relying on some form of financial aid, we will
work with resolved focus to ensure a Walsh University education is attainable for all who seek it.
