00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.972
>> SMALL BUT MIGHTY COULD BE A
GOOD WAY TO DESCRIBE SAINT
MARY-OF-THE-WOODS COLLEGE IN
VIGO COUNTY. INDIANA'S OLDEST

2
00:00:05.972 --> 00:00:17.250
CATHOLIC COLLEGE - WITH AN
ENROLLMENT OF 530 STUDENTS -- IS
ON A BIT OF A ROLL.
THE COLLEGE IS CHRISTENING A

3
00:00:17.250 --> 00:00:22.922
NEW DINING AND RESIDENCE HALL IN
THE WEEK AHEAD...THE FIRST IN
MORE THAN A CENTURY. SAINT
MARY-OF-THE-WOODS IS ALSO

4
00:00:22.922 --> 00:00:28.628
DEBUTING A NEW PH.D PROGRAM IN
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP AND IS
STARTING UP A MEN'S BASKETBALL
TEAM THIS FALL.

5
00:00:28.628 --> 00:00:33.700
FOR MORE ON THE GROWTH AND
DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE JOINED BY
SAINT MARY-OF-THE-WOODS
PRESIDENT DOTTIE KING.

6
00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:39.773
PRESIDENT KING, AS ALWAYS,
WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR
HAVING ME.

7
00:00:39.773 --> 00:00:48.848
>> THERE IS A LOT GOING ON. I
KNOW YOU UNVEILED FACILITIES, A
MASTER PLAN A FEW MONTHS AGO,
BIG DEVELOPMENTS IN THAT IN THE

8
00:00:48.848 --> 00:00:56.089
WEEK AHEAD AS YOU'RE CHRISTENING
A NEW DINING HALL AND RESIDENCE
HALL, THE FIRST IN MORE THAN A
100 YEARS.

9
00:00:56.089 --> 00:01:03.897
>> WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT. THE
STUDENTS ARE. THERE IS A SENSE
OF AWE AS THEY WALK AROUND, FUN
TO SEE ON THEIR FACES.

10
00:01:03.897 --> 00:01:10.703
>> I KNOW YOU HAVE A NEW NAME
FOR THE RESIDENCE HALL.
>> WE DO.
WE WERE FOUNDED BY -- WE STAYED

11
00:01:10.703 --> 00:01:19.746
WITH THAT THEME, THE NAME
IS...IT MEANS "THE WOODS".
>> THESE ARE SIGNIFICANT
INVESTMENTS, OBVIOUSLY. THE

12
00:01:19.746 --> 00:01:31.624
RESIDENCE HALL, I THINK WILL
HAVE ROOM FOR NEARLY 100
STUDENTS, POINTS TO YOUR VISION,
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE, FOR

13
00:01:31.624 --> 00:01:37.197
CONTINUED GROWTH.
>> IT DOES. I HAVE TO TELL YOU,
I'M A LITTLE AFRAID, I THOUGHT
WITH THE FIRST RESIDENCE HALL IN

14
00:01:37.197 --> 00:01:43.703
100 YEARS, WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD
HOLD US FOR QUITE A WHILE, AND
WE'RE ALREADY COUNTING BEDS AND
WONDERING HOW SOON BEFORE WE

15
00:01:43.703 --> 00:01:50.910
NEED ANOTHER ONE. SO WE REALLY
ARE SEEING THAT.
>> TALK ABOUT ENROLLMENT GROWTH.
CERTAINLY THE WORLD OF HIGHER

16
00:01:50.910 --> 00:02:03.089
EDUCATION IS VERY COMPETITIVE,
CHALLENGING, YOU'RE LOOKING TO
WELCOME IN, I THINK, SOME REALLY
STRONG NUMBERS. HOW DO YOU VIEW

17
00:02:03.089 --> 00:02:11.664
THE ENROLLMENT SITUATION AT
SAINT MARY OF THE WOODS.
>> WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN AN
EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR STUDENTS.

18
00:02:11.664 --> 00:02:17.303
NOW I THINK WITH OUR ADDITION OF
ATHLETICS, AND REALLY THE
UPDATES WE'VE MADE TO CAMPUS. WE
MAKE IT A BETTER EXPERIENCE FOR

19
00:02:17.303 --> 00:02:23.309
THEM. I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF
THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING A LITTLE
MORE STRATEGICALLY, AND IT'S
GOING WELL FOR US.

20
00:02:23.309 --> 00:02:30.750
>> PART OF THAT STRATEGIC VISION
IS YOUR FIRST DOCTORAL PROGRAM,
A Ph.D. PROGRAM IN GLOBAL
LEADERSHIP. TALK ABOUT THAT, THE

21
00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:38.758
SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT, AND WHY
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP?
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, FOR US,
IT WAS ABOUT DIVERSIFYING, AND

22
00:02:38.758 --> 00:02:45.465
MOVING OURSELVES FORWARD. WE'VE
BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH
MASTER'S LEVEL PROGRAMS AND HAVE
SEVERAL THAT WE'RE PROUD OF. SO

23
00:02:45.465 --> 00:02:53.907
THE LOGICAL NEXT STEP. WE CHOSE
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP REALLY -- I
DIDN'T CHOOSE IT, WE HAD A GROUP
THAT STUDIED IT. WE LOOKED

24
00:02:53.907 --> 00:03:02.348
AROUND AND USED RESEARCH, AND
WHAT ARE THE NEEDS IN OUR
COUNTRY THAT WE CAN BEST ADDRESS
AND WE CAME UP WITH GLOBAL

25
00:03:02.348 --> 00:03:07.186
LEADERSHIP.
>> AS WE WERE TALKING BEFORE THE
INTERVIEW, YOU KIND OF HINTED TO
THE FACT THAT YOU THINK MAYBE

26
00:03:07.186 --> 00:03:17.997
BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, THE
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP THAT TOPIC IS
MORE GERMANE THAN EVER.
>> I REALLY THINK SO. I SAID IT

27
00:03:17.997 --> 00:03:26.873
PUT AN EXCLAMATION POINT ON OUR
DECISION, IF EVER THERE IS A
TIME THAT WE CAN SEE FIRSTHAND
THE WORLD IS GOING TO FACE

28
00:03:26.873 --> 00:03:35.114
CHALLENGES THAT NEEDS GLOBAL
THOUGHT PROCESS.
>> ATHLETICS IS ANOTHER AREA
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EXPANSION

29
00:03:35.114 --> 00:03:44.991
AND GROWTH, TALK ABOUT THAT, AND
WHY YOU'RE DOING THAT?
>> FIRST OF ALL, KIND OF FUNNY,
TO BE A HOOSIER, AND JUST NOW

30
00:03:44.991 --> 00:03:52.632
LAUNCHING BASKETBALL. BUT WE
STARTED WHEN WE ADDED MEN TO OUR
CAMPUS, WE STARTED WITH EASIER
THINGS TO ADD THAT DIDN'T

31
00:03:52.632 --> 00:04:00.673
REQUIRE FACILITIES. CROSS
COUNTRY, AND GOLF. BUT REALLY WE
GOT OURSELVES READY AND MEN'S
BASKETBALL WAS NATURAL AND

32
00:04:00.673 --> 00:04:11.851
ALWAYS GOING TO COME. SO WE HAVE
A COACH THAT BEEN RECRUITING, WE
HAD FIVE PLAYERS LAST YEAR THAT
WERE RED SHIRTING ON CAMPUS.

33
00:04:11.851 --> 00:04:18.424
OCTOBER 30 WILL BE OUR FIRST
HOME GAME. THERE'S A LOT OF
EXCITEMENT AROUND THAT.
>> TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE AND

34
00:04:18.424 --> 00:04:27.166
GROWTH. I MENTIONED 500 PLUS
STUDENTS, 530 OR SO STUDENTS ON
CAMPUS. BUT YOU ALSO HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT ONLINE PRESENCE. THE

35
00:04:27.166 --> 00:04:33.840
SECOND SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY TO
LAUNCH ONLINE MANY YEARS AGO,
TALK ABOUT WHERE YOU SEE GROWTH
OPPORTUNITIES ENROLLMENT-WISE?

36
00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:42.281
>> RIGHT NOW, I DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING WOOD TO KNOCK. I SEE
GROWTH IN ALL AREAS. SO WE DON'T
SEE A SPIKE IN ANY ONE AREA.

37
00:04:42.281 --> 00:04:51.591
THEREFORE I THINK THE GROWTH IS
SUSTAINABLE. BECAUSE WE'RE JUST
DOING A LOT OF THINGS BETTER. SO
WE'RE GROWING. I THINK WE WILL

38
00:04:51.591 --> 00:04:58.898
CONTINUE TO ADD GRADUATE
PROGRAMS, MASTERS OR DOCTORAL
PROGRAMS. THE NURSING PROGRAM
WAS ADDED A FEW YEARS AGO, IT'S

39
00:04:58.898 --> 00:05:06.039
BEEN A STRONG MAJOR. WE HAVE A
MASTERS OF SCIENCE IN NURSING
THAT PREPARES FAMILY NURSE
PRACTITIONERS, AND I COULD SEE

40
00:05:06.039 --> 00:05:11.577
ANOTHER PROGRAM COMING OUT OF
THE NURSING AREA.
>> A LOT GOING ON AT SAINT MARY
