FOR ALUMNI, PARENTS AND FRIENDS OF ANCILLA COLLEGE
Not Just Monkey
Business
A Message from President Ronald L. May
2008/09 was a challenging yet exciting
year at Ancilla College. Nonetheless,
as it has before, the college, its staff and
students weathered the challenges.
Everyone at Ancilla is excited about
the academic year before us. New
opportunities await our students.
Among these is a new Qualified
Medication Aide offering in the health
sciences area. Ancilla College graduates
also have access to two Bachelors degree
programs in Donaldson through an
agreement with Calumet College of St.
Joseph. The degrees are in Business
Administration and Criminal Justice. It
is our hope to add to those Bachelors
degree offerings in 2010 and 2011.
These new programs permit students to
begin and complete Bachelors degrees
without leaving the Donaldson campus.
Elsewhere in this addition of Accent you
can read articles outlining additional
articulation agreements the college has
put in place to ease the transfer process
for graduates. These additions are part
of our plan to expand and strengthen
the academic and student life program
available to our students and graduates
in the years ahead. We are pleased at
the progress made in this area.
The articles in this issue of Accent
continue to show clearly how the
transforming power of what we do here
each day ripples out into the world
beyond Donaldson. As our alumni and
friends you already know that impact.
College students, faculty and staff
continue to provide hundreds of hours
of service beyond the campus. Through
those efforts we try to live out the values
of the Poor Handmaids each day.
We are able to carry on the Ancilla
tradition because each of you supports
us through your financial gifts and
your prayers. We are blessed by your
support and we thank you. It would
be impossible for us to continue the
progress we have made in recent years
without your support.
There are exciting things happening at
Ancilla College right now. We have
great plans for the future that you will
learn more about in the not too distant
future. Please plan to visit the campus
so that we can show you around and
share our future plans with you. Until
that time, may God bless you.
Ancilla College is a liberal arts institution of higher learning sponsored by the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ. The College’s
religious tradition is Roman Catholic; its climate ecumenical. In a caring environment, Ancilla serves a diverse population as we
transform and empower students to achieve high academic goals, lifelong learning, successful careers and values-centered lives.

Educating All Children, One Child at a Time
T
he motto Dr. Laura Huffman lives
by is a simple one: Educating all
children, one child at a time.
“That’s the beauty, the joy – there are
no two children alike,” said Huffman
(AC ’80), the Superintendent of Whitley
County Consolidated Schools. “Every
time I meet a parent and have a unique
situation, every situation is just a little
bit different because it involves that
special, unique child.”
teach the 2nd and 5th grades at North
Judson San Pierre. She spent six more
years teaching elementary art at Knox
Community Schools before being
promoted to Assistant Principal.
She eventually became a principal at
Wheatfield Elementary and in 1999
earned her PhD from Purdue.
“I took the title of ‘Doctor’,”
recalled Huffman. “The playground
With each unique child comes
a unique future, a reality that
Huffman has attempted to bring
more clearly into focus during her
time as superintendent.
Each year, she spends time working
with new teachers through staff
development, helping prepare them
for their new roles. This, she says,
helps her to stay involved and in
touch with the teachers.
“The economy has driven more
people to go back for training. I
think we have the attention of
parents now, letting them know
that we want to help envision
a future for your child. I think
more parents are seeing that it’s
important. I try to look beyond
Grade 12. When you leave high
school, it’s not ‘goodbye and good
luck.’ It’s so much more. Hopefully
we have made a difference in you
individually.”
“It was local and was a very comfortable
option at that time,” said Huffman. “I
just felt it was a very good place to get a
good start. I was very, very pleased with
the personal connection that Ancilla
offered – and it still does. That personal
touch is still there.”
After finishing her bachelor’s in
Elementary Education with a focus
in teaching art, Huffman went on to
4
“What I enjoy most is helping others
realize their potential is possible. It’s
really exciting when you can help them
actualize their potential and discover
what brings them joy. Work should
be joyous. You should have a smile
every day when you go to work,
and if you don’t…gosh.”
For Huffman, that goes well
beyond working with the students.
According to Huffman, one of
the main appeals of becoming a
superintendent was that she could
make a greater impact on children
by “helping the teachers teach.”
“We are starting to talk to kids at
the middle school level and high
school level about ‘what do you
like to do?’ We try to help them
understand how what they learn
in school relates long term to what
they want to do.
Huffman came to Ancilla College in
1978 after finishing in the top three of
her graduating class at North Judson
San Pierre.
“I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to
give a gift of service,” said Huffman. “I
can help mediate a lot of situations and
clear away obstacles sometimes using
my background and my experiences.
I’ve had a lot of different titles and hats,
and I have two grown children myself.
Huffman also holds the distinction of
being the only K-12 superintendent
belonging to the education council
for the National Association of
Manufacturers.
conversations amongst the children
were hilarious. Some would say ‘Did
you hear she’s a principal during the
day and a doctor during the night?’
Some kids started showing me their
injuries more often. Many of them had
no idea what to do in regards to my
new title.”
Eventually, she would move on to
Kankakee Valley, spending two years
as Assistant Superintendent and three
more as Superintendent, before finally
making her move to Whitley County
Consolidated Schools.
Despite all the accomplishments,
Huffman still prefers not to bask in
her accolades.
“I hope nothing comes out of this about
what ‘I’ was able to do,” said Huffman.
“That’s not what it’s about. It’s about a
‘we’ approach. I’m very appreciative of
all the people along the way I’ve been
able to work with. Anything I’ve been
successful in is not about me at all. It’s
about being a part of a team and a ‘we’
approach.
“Anything we accomplish in Whitley
County Consolidated Schools is about
nine school board members that are
absolutely committed to working
together as a team.”

IU-Kokomo Sign Articulation Agreement
Ancilla College signed an
articulation agreement with
IU-Kokomo on June 24,
2009, giving Ancilla graduates with an Associate of
Science in the educational
fields the opportunity to
make a seamless transition
to Kokomo’s campus.
“This agreement is important to our students in that
it addresses licensure in
education at three levels: Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary,” said Dr. Joanna Blount, Dean of Academics and Student
Services at Ancilla College.
Under the agreement, the Secondary Education focus will pertain
to five areas of study: Language Arts; Social Studies; Mathematics; Science; and Fine Arts/Visual Arts.
Representatives from both colleges were on hand at Ancilla College’s Gerald J. Ball Library to make the agreement official. Ancilla was represented by Dr. Blount, Sr. Carleen Wrasman, PHJC,
and Dr. Ron May, President, while IU-Kokomo was represented
by Dr. Patricia Swails, Interim Dean of Education.
“This ‘2+2’ agreement was designed for our education students,
who will find this agreement honors the courses taken at Ancilla,”
said Wrasman. “I encourage Ancilla graduates to take advantage
of this opportunity as they continue their education towards a
bachelor’s degree and a teaching license.”
Kribs Selected for Prestigious
Study Opportunity
Ancilla College faculty member Roba Kribs was one of 48 faculty
members nationwide selected by the National Endowment for
the Humanities to attend one of the prestigious “Landmarks of
American History and Culture Workshops,” held at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont, OH.
Alongside fellow invitees from states such as California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, Kribs had the opportunity to sit in
on lectures given by scholars who have done extensive research
on the topic. Those in attendance also had the opportunity to do
research of their own on the topic.
According to Kribs, this professional development opportunity
gave her a chance to be a student rather than a professor for the
week, an experience she described as “recharging.”
Calumet College of St. Joseph Signs
Articulation Agreement
Ancilla College signed an articulation agreement with Calumet
College of St. Joseph on February 27, 2009, that will bring bachelor’s
level courses to the Donaldson-based campus
Beginning in fall 2009, students who have finished their associate’s
will be able to pursue a bachelor’s in either Business Management
or Criminal Justice from Calumet College of St. Joseph, but do so
attending classes at Ancilla.
Under the terms of this agreement, these students will enjoy a
seamless transfer of credits between the colleges, making it as easy
as possible to pursue a higher degree.
Students pursuing a B.S. in Business Management degree will have
a Human Resources concentration as their minor. Those pursuing
a B.S. in Criminal Justice will be able to concentrate in one of three
areas: Pre-Law/Professional Studies; Probation, Parole and the
Courts; and Forensic Sciences.
The addition of these two majors, according to Dr. Blount, is merely
the first step in the collaboration between the two colleges.
Plans are currently in the works between Ancilla College and
Calumet College of St. Joseph to add programs in Human Services,
Psychology, and Teacher Certification.
Savina Kralis Nursing Scholarship Fund
Representatives from Ancilla College and the Kosciusko County
Community Foundation have announced the creation of a new
scholarship fund designated for Ancilla nursing students – The
Savina Kralis Nursing Scholarship Fund.
Kralis, who received her nurse’s training from the Poor Handmaids
of Jesus Christ nearly 60 years ago, recently established The Savina
Kralis Nursing Scholarship Fund to benefit Ancilla College at the
Kosciusko County Community Foundation. By establishing this
scholarship, Kralis wanted to share the blessings she has received
with others pursuing a career in nursing.
The fund will enable the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ to provide
scholarships to deserving nursing students at Ancilla College. As
an endowment fund at the Community Foundation, the principal
will be invested and only earnings will be used for scholarship
purposes.
Due to the nature of endowments, the fund will be managed and
invested with the growth and perpetuity of the fund as a goal,
allowing scholarships to be made from the fund forever.
“This is a chance to go to something I have a real interest in,” said
Kribs. “It was great, the best professional development opportunity I’ve ever been to. Personally, it’s a chance to take in some
information rather than give it out.”
The National Endowment for the Humanities is a federal agency
that each summer supports “Landmarks of American History
and Culture Workshops” so that faculty can work in collaboration and study with experts in humanities disciplines.

iStan now at Ancilla College
After over a
year of hype and
fundraising efforts, iStan has
finally become a
full-fledged
member of Ancilla College.
iStan is capable
of mimicking the
anatomical
workings of the
human body to
a level of realism beyond all previous simulators, giving students
and local emergency personnel a level of hands-on training that
far exceeds the established norm.
Efforts to obtain the iStan simulator lasted well over a year, as
Ancilla College collaborated with a number of local organizations to raise money for the equipment.
In addition to raising funds on their own, Ancilla College received donations from Teachers Credit Union, Lilly Endowment,
Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, 1st Source Bank, Marshall
County Community Foundation, Starke County Community
Foundation, and the Starke Memorial Hospital Medical Staff.
Ann Fitzgerald, Chair of the Division of Nursing, offered her sincerest thanks on behalf of Ancilla College and the nursing department to all those who helped make the purchase of iStan a reality.
“We could not afford this project alone,” said Fitzgerald. “We
needed to collaborate with all resources available in the surrounding communities to afford iStan and his accompanying
equipment.”
Ancilla College Earns Highest Possible Score on
Department of Education Financial Rating Scale
For the third straight year, and for the sixth of the past seven
years, Ancilla College has earned the highest possible score on the
Department of Education’s financial responsibility test.
Based on financial data provided by each college and university,
the Department calculates a financial score, with a range of -1.0
to 3.0; -1.0 is the lowest possible score, and 3.0 is the highest
possible score. Ancilla’s score for the past three years has been
the maximum 3.0. Colleges must score 1.5 or higher to pass the
financial responsibility test.
Three separate calculations make up the overall test score. The
first, the Primary Reserve Ratio, considers the relationship between
expendable reserves (net assets) and unrestricted expenses. The
second, the Equity Ratio, compares total net assets to total assets;
colleges with large debt levels will receive a lower Equity Ratio
score compared to colleges with little to no debt. The third ratio,
the Net Income Ratio, compares the change in unrestricted reserves
to unrestricted revenue.
A variety of significant factors contributed to Ancilla College earning
the maximum score for 2008. Most significantly, Ancilla College
has no short term or long term debt on its balance sheet. Other
important factors for Ancilla College include successful fundraising,
maintenance of a balanced budget, and a strong cash and investment
position compared to operating liabilities and expenses.

Summer School Enrollment Increases
Enrollment at Ancilla College for the first of the two summer
terms for 2009 increased by 51% from last year and credit hours
for that term have increased by 39%, according to data released
by the College recently.
Contributing to these increases was strong student interest in
completing pre-requisite coursework for entry into the College’s
fully accredited Nursing program for the Fall 2009 semester.
Ancilla College and Franklin University
Announce Partnership
Ancilla College and Columbus, Ohio-based Franklin University
have announced a recent partnership offering students the
opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree by combining on-campus
courses at Ancilla College with online courses through Franklin
University.
Students who earn their associate’s degree from Ancilla College
will have the opportunity to complete “bridge” courses at Ancilla
College while simultaneously taking online classes through
Franklin University to complete their bachelor’s degree.
Majors will be available in 24 different fields, including Healthcare
Management, Accounting, and Business Forensics. Students will
also be able to pursue an MBA and Masters of Science in Marketing
and Communication online.
Dr. Joanna Blount, Dean of Academic and Student Services at
Ancilla College, expressed her enthusiasm with Ancilla entering
such a partnership.
“The articulation agreement with Franklin University provides
an opportunity for our students to continue their education while
remaining in their local community,” said Blount. “Ancilla College
is excited to be a part of the Community College Alliance, which
has partnered with 252 colleges in 32 states. We are pleased to be
a part of an alliance that enhances access students have to higher
education in our area.”
.
Ancilla College Joins the Online Learning
Community
Ancilla College Online will be offering general education courses
with the support of The Learning House, Inc., a total online
education provider that helps colleges manage their online degree
programs. This opportunity will provide students a chance to take
a class from home, allowing more flexible schedules for prospective
Ancilla College students.
“Online learning is not for everyone,” said Dr. Joanna Blount,
Dean of Academic and Student Services. “Taking a course online
requires a high level of discipline and motivation. These courses
are as rigorous as face-to-face classes; there are still deadlines for
assignments, reading, and discussion.”
The current plan is to offer the Associate of Science in General
Studies online. This is a versatile degree, allowing students to
choose courses that emphasize a field of study.
Ancilla College Online will offer two courses beginning midsemester – General Psychology (PS 115) and General Sociology
(SC 140). According to Dr. Blount, both courses are taught by
skilled instructors and will meet general education requirements
for many degrees.

Rags to Respect
A Poor Handmaid’s Account of Transforming the Lives of Kenya’s Street Kids
Sr. Germaine Hustedde is a member of
the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ.
Belonging to the American province,
Hustedde worked in Germany for 12 years
prior to spearheading the beginnings of
the Poor Handmaids in Kenya. This is
her retelling, in her own words, of her
experiences in Kenya.
O
nce I finished my job in Germany,
the new administration asked
me if I would be comfortable
working in Kenya. I said I would be
delighted. You have a little trepidation
if you are going to places right off
the cuff and you don’t
know what you’re
getting into. I had seen
some of the workings
of Kenya, but in a very
minimal way.
I was initially at a large
girl’s secondary school
named Materi, located
in Meru Town. I had
a little job there, but
nothing earth shaking.
The priest down the road
(about 10 kilometers
away) was looking for
someone to administer
the primary school that
he had begun. It was
really in its infancy. It
was only up to Class 4 and had not been
registered, so people shied away from it.
Registration is very important in Kenya.
If you do not sit for the registration
exams, known as the KCPE Exams
(Kenyan Council of Public Education),
you cannot go on to secondary school.
I came into this milieu and worked for
three-and-a-half years to get this school
registered. The enrollment when I came
was only 89 pupils. Today, the school
has 350-plus students, so we have
grown considerably. Since then we have
bought a school bus and have built some
additions. So the school is doing quite
well, it will function.
As I would head to Meru Town, I would
have to walk to get to the matatu, which
is a public conveyance – a sort of public
taxi. I had to walk almost a kilometerand-a-half or two, so I would take a
shortcut through the market area.
In doing that, I encountered a gang of
street kids that were always digging
through the rubbish, dirty as all get
out, searching for glue bottles. They
were sick and emaciated kids. I would
stop and greet them, talk to them a
little bit. There was always one in the
group that could understand English.
who will make sure they go to school?
They’ll be so hungry, they’ll sell their
uniform to get something to eat. It’s
the most natural thing in the world,
isn’t it?”
I talked to some young men who I knew
from the area. A couple of them had
worked or were working for me. I asked
if they could help me find a place to rent.
We searched around and many people
were skeptical of our moving in with a
bunch of street kids. People were very,
very negative. Owners would not rent
to me, because they would lose some of
their renters. So I was
a little disappointed,
but the guys said to
me, “Sister, we’ll keep
looking.”
One day, one of those
fellows, Ken, came back
and said, “Sister, we
found the ideal place.
You won’t have any
opposition. It’s self
contained.” I was so
optimistic and hopeful.
It turned out to be an old
slaughterhouse.
I could always manage to speak a little
Kiswahili, which is the native language
of Kenya. Eventually, I befriended
these kids a bit, they gained a little
confidence, and one morning a group
of them stood in front of me and said,
“Sister, we want to go to school!”
I decided to speak to the pastor about
this. He said, “Oh, Sister, that’s simple,
just buy them a uniform and send them
to school!” But I had a little more vision
than that, because in my mind I was
saying, “Where will these kids sleep?
Where will they eat? Where will they
wash their clothes? Who will supervise
them?” So I said to Father, “That doesn’t
seem to be a solution, and furthermore,
When I looked at
this place, I thought
“impossible.” The back section of this
compound was open to the sky. It had
a cement wall about four feet high to
contain the animals and was painted
bright red. Up front, there was one
small room, maybe about 10 by 12 feet.
It was what they called a hotel. You
could buy a cup of tea, maybe a chapatti
(a bread substitute), or ugali (a dish
made of corn meal, possibly including
a few vegetables or a little meat sauce
on slaughtering days, when meat was
available). The only other salvation in
this place was a very matchbox-sized
kitchen where they built the charcoaled
fires so they can cook this stuff.
The place was a disaster – dirty, a lot

So I asked them what
rules must we have to
make a happy home.
of rubbish in it – and there was not
anything about it that would say it was
habitable, except for animals. There was
no electricity, no running water. I was
discouraged, but the guys said to me,
“Sister, we can make this work.”
After a lot of encouragement from these
guys who promised to help, we moved
in with brooms, wheelbarrows, shovels,
and soap and water and cleaned up the
place. I think we filled a whole trash
container with garbage that was left
in that building. But still, we couldn’t
survive without light and without
water. We solved the light issue by
putting in a small solar panel. Then
I went to the water corporation and
begged for a water connection. They
gave me one tap, and it would have
to serve everything – bathing, kitchen,
cleaning. We built an outhouse where
the open sky was, and two bathing
cubicles, and finally we were ready to
move in.
We never advertised at all. Many people
came around to see what we were doing.
The night we opened the doors, within
10 minutes, there was a horde of some
50 or 60 kids who wanted shelter. This
place was so small I could only take 15.
So the first 15 that arrived were the ones
that were considered lucky, and the rest
went away in tears and disappointment.
It was a very gripping experience.
After we moved into our little
slaughterhouse accommodation, we
sat down and talked about the rules.
When we live together, I told them, we
are family, so we have to act like family.
8
The kids said first rule
was “no fighting.” I
thought that was a good
rule. The second rule
was “no glue bottles.”
That was also welcome,
because these kids
survived on their glue
bottles. They agreed
they had to do little
chores. My rule was if
you want to stay in the
project, you have to go
to school. I thought
I would have a real challenge to get
the kids to go to school. I did in a way
because the normal school did not want
to take these kids. They feared that the
boys would be very undisciplined and
that the school’s scores would drop
considerably because the boys had not
been in school. However, we went to
the district education office (DEO), and
we asked permission to keep the boys
in school for one semester, without
incorporating them into the school
roster. Then we didn’t have to count
them with the median scores. He agreed
and gave us one semester of leeway.
Amazingly, at the end of the semester,
most of the boys from the project were
doing better than the normal school
kids. At the end of every semester, we
have prize giving day. Boys receive
awards for being tops in their class or
tops in a subject. I only had 15 boys, but
we walked away with 21 prizes. Four
or five boys were first in their class, all
the rest were tops in their subject. After
that, the teachers were very willing to
take these kids to their
normal roster.
The mayor of the town
got interested in what
I was doing. He’s
called “The Chief” by
the Africans. He said
“Sister, do you have
plans for the future?”
I said to The Chief,
“We would like to buy
a couple acres so we
could build a proper
home for these kids.”
And the mayor looked at me and said
“you want to buy land?” I told him
I didn’t know another way. And he
said “There’s government land around,
Sister, and you are doing social work.”
He contacted the counselor who is
representative of the government, and
in about two weeks the two of them
came back and said, “We want to show
you a piece of land.” The piece of land
they showed me was about 5 kilometers
away from the school I was working in.
It was 19 acres filled with brush and
overgrown with weeds and trees and
a lot of rubbish on it. One young man
that was with me, the maintenance man,
said, “Sister, take it, take it.”
There was one problem – there were
about eight families that had occupied
part of this land. They were “squatters,”
meaning they had no right to this land,
but they had settled there and built their
homes there. I could not see displacing
these people and their families.
I asked The Chief what arrangements
could be made for them. He said,
“It’s simple, they have no right to this
land.” But I said, “They are human
beings and have a right to the pursuit
of happiness.”
I suggested that a portion of the 19 acres
be set aside for these people to relocate,
so the government gave us 15 acres and
four of the acres were set aside for these
folks. So, today, we have been able
to accommodate 26 children, because
we have moved to our new location.
We can house up to 75, and we have
built a nice kitchen, a dining room, an
administration building, and a house for
the sisters that are working there. We
also have a large sport field.
You may ask why I have such a big
building and only 26 kids, but I don’t
take a large number of boys at one time.
They have to go through a taming stage.
They’re so used to being independent
and doing what they want, when they
want. They have to learn to follow a
schedule, they have to learn to sleep
in a bed, and they have to keep their
belongings in order. So I take four or
five at a time, so we can work with them
in a special way, and bring them into the
whole milieu of living in a group.
There’s a real spirit of camaraderie
among the boys. We only have boys
at this point, we are considering girls,
but that’s a little down the line because
the money isn’t there to build a dorm
for them. The boys are so helpful to
one another, and so proud of their
space. Without any coaching at all, they
planted flowers, rose bushes, trees, and
a little garden. In almost all of their
gardens, the primary product is corn,
because they live on maize. They love
maize. When it’s mature enough, they
build a little fire and then they roast
their corn. The boys also help with
the cleaning – they all have a little job
to do.
Working with these kids is both
challenging and also very rewarding.
Contrary to what I experience in
the United States, the kids there
are extremely grateful for any little
attention.
One of the things they have learned
to like so much is popcorn, something
they had never experienced before. For
some strange reason, they say, “Sister,
let’s have peepcorn.” They never get
it right. They have a language all their
own. They don’t go walking – they
go footing. If their bicycles are out of
order, they say, “Sister, I have to take
my bike to the Mekaneec ,” instead of
“mechanic.”
The boys know little about their
backgrounds. I assume the majority
of them are AIDS orphans. There is
unusual preponderance of AIDS patients
in our area, Mitunguu. Mitunguu is an
area that is blessed with irrigation and
an irrigation system that was installed
by a German company, one which
covers large acreage. People come to
the area hoping to latch onto a small
portion of land because the water
supply will be good, and they’ll be
able to grow something. However, the
people who come with expectations
of getting a small piece of land are
very disappointed because land is not
available. Thus, many come into the
area for a short time, maybe cohabitate
with somebody, and after a very brief
span of time, they are on their way
again.
This mobility has
caused a lot of
problems, because
the infrastructure
is very weak. The
family structure is
extremely weak. The
whole social life is
almost non-existent.
Many people come
and go and leave
their problems
behind. Because of
that, we have a very
high level of AIDS.
There are many
truckers that come and go, because
the bananas and whatever they grow
on the land are grown for export. The
truckers come to take them to Nairobi,
about 250 kilometers away. There’s a lot
of moving in and out, so many of these
boys are left behind. Many of the boys
don’t even know who their mother or
father is or was.
The boys don’t know when their
birthdays are. Most of them don’t
know how old they are, so I guess they
are between 6 and 16. I have to fill
out forms for the children’s court. We
have to be licensed to run a place like
this. One day I was trying to get some
information out of the boys, and one
question was “how old are you,” and
one of the little boys raised himself up
as far as he could and he said, “15!”
They don’t know how old they are, they
just guess.
We have a social worker that does a lot
of work with the boys, because, once
they get a little older, they have fears
about AIDS themselves, especially if
they know their background has been
related to AIDS illness, or families
with AIDS. The social worker does
a lot of counseling. Some of the boys
feel rejected and lonely. One of the
reasons why we put them in the normal
schools is because we want them to
be incorporated, integrated into the
society.
The boys feel very much at home in
the school community, and they have
made some special friends. One of the
issues is the boys in the projects feel they
don’t have access to money. They don’t
have access to all the things they would
like to have. They see other children in
school with computer games, so these
are areas in which the counselor does a
lot of work with the boys, and by and
large, they come around and realize
that all these superfluous things are
not necessary, though they would like
to have them.
We don’t know if any of the children
belong to the Catholic faith, because
they don’t know. But we teach them
moral values, we teach them to believe
in God and to love one another, because
we want them to grow up to be good
Christian people and good citizens. A
few of them have asked to be baptized,
but that has to be their choice. We do
not enforce it.

A Note...
During fiscal year ’10 (July 1,
2009-June 30, 2010), our office is
providing a new option for donors
to consider: Automatic Transfers.
A letter describing the automatic
transfer option will be forthcoming in
the mail. You can make a significant
impact in helping us reach our
Annual Fund goal of $1.5 million by
signing up for a monthly donation
from a checking/savings account or
credit/debit card. Gifts totaling $250
or more during the year ($20.83/
month) will qualify the donor to
receive an invitation to the annual
Donor Appreciation Dinner held in
October 2010. Gifts of $1,000 or
more ($83.33/month) will put donors
into the prestigious Lampen Society.
Your gifts will go a long way in helping
to offset the recent cuts to the State
Student Assistance Commission of
Indiana funding levels, enabling our
students to continue their educations
at Ancilla College. Your support is
very much appreciated.

Cover Feature
Not Just Monkey Business
B
y her own account, Jennifer Sullivan
(AC ‘05) is not one who lets stress
eat away at her. An owner of not
one, but two daycare licenses, that trait
seems to be a prerequisite for the career
path she’s chosen.
“All the classes I took at
Ancilla helped me learn how
children behave, ways to
teach them, all sorts of things
like that,” said Sullivan. “It
was a great experience.”
“If you can’t handle stress, you aren’t
built for the job,” said Sullivan, owner of
Monkey Business, located in Plymouth.
“It’s a lot different than having your
own child. You have at least 16. When
parents tell me they want to go into the
daycare field, I tell them to get as much
training as they possibly can before they
commit to it.”
Now in charge of her own
daycare, Sullivan consistently
finds that no two days as a
provider are alike.
With the two licenses, Sullivan is able
to care for 32 chi ldren, ranging from
toddlers to 12-year-olds. She operates
out of her own house and is assisted
by fellow Ancilla graduates Amber
(Fletcher) Wilcox (AC ‘08) and Amanda
Talaga (AC ‘09).
A typical day’s schedule for Sullivan
involves waking up no later than
5:00 a.m., making sure everything is
prepared before the first child arrives
at 6:30. From there, a day will consist
of activities, preschool education, nap
times, and four separate meals during
the day. She doesn’t typically close shop
until 6:00 p.m.
“I don’t need very much sleep, I guess,”
said Sullivan. “I try to get enough sleep.
I’m usually in bed before 10:00 p.m.
I’ve always been a morning person, so
I guess that helps too.”
Even then, one would argue that her
job doesn’t end when the daycare
closes for the day. Sullivan has a twoyear-old of her own that she cares for.
On weekends, she also provides home
healthcare for her grandmother. In her
words, every week is “a long week.”
In fall of 2002, Sullivan began work on
her associate degree in Early Childhood
Education. During this time, she was
a part-time student while working at
the Kid Club Daycare and Preschool in
Plymouth. It was there that she would
cut her teeth in the daycare industry.
Sullivan eventually graduated in 2005
as a member of the second graduating
class in the Early Childhood Education
concentration.

“There are, of course,
behavioral problems,” said
Sullivan. “Parents often raise
their children different than I
was raised. We have different
beliefs as far as behavioral.
“Another challenge is trying to please
the parents as far as the education and
learning opportunities we provide
their children is concerned. We have to
make sure my house is set up correctly
for the children, that I have the right
educational items and toys available,
items for coloring...all the little stuff
counts.”
The most unpredictable - and unsettling
- moment came earlier this year when
a girl suffering from Reye Syndrome
stopped breathing while at the daycare.
Sullivan, who has been well-trained in
CPR, tried her best to resuscitate the girl,
but was unsuccessful.
“Once you experience something like
that, it changes your life,” said Sullivan.
“You think of all the training you go
through, and you don’t really think
that you’re going to have to use this
stuff in real life. You don’t realize
how important it is until you have to
perform it.
“It was a very big learning experience
for all of us, for me, my staff, and my
husband. Her siblings are still here.
The family very much supported us
through all this.”
Sullivan’s efforts as a daycare provider
have not gone unnoticed, especially
in the Ancilla College community. In
2007, Sr. Carleen Wrasman, PHJC and
Chair of the Department of Education,
approached Sullivan about serving as
the official daycare provider during the
College’s graduation ceremonies. On
these days, she typically operates out of
the Charger Lounge, providing care for
approximately 20 children at a time.
“We never know how many children
we’re going to have,” said Sullivan.
“We bring our own toys there. I try to
provide a snack for them, let them play,
and try to comfort the ones who are
missing their mommy and daddy.”
“Jennifer has a reputation for good
childcare in a caring environment,” said
Wrasman. “Jennifer and her helpers
bring their toys, supplies, and expertise
to share with Ancilla’s graduates and
their families during the graduation
ceremony, and their services have been
well received by the graduates.”
Ancilla College employee April
Woodward, Center for Student
Achievement Advisor, has both a son
and daughter who attend Monkey
Business. Her reviews of Sullivan and
her staff have been nothing short of
stellar.
“Jenny is truly a Godsend,” said
Woodward. “Jenny and her helpers go
above and beyond what many daycares
would. She has even taken my son to
a doctor’s appointment when I was
unable to leave work!
“I also attribute my daughter being
potty-trained and knowing her ABCs
by 18 months to Jenny and her aides.
My children adore her, and I can see by
her actions and in the way she speaks to
them that she feels the same way about
them. I honestly hope that my children
can continue to attend her daycare and
preschool for as long as possible. I do
not and would not want to go anywhere
else.”
