LEAD & INFLUENCE: The Campaign for the Next Level of Excellence: Our Students
An endowed scholarship fund has been established in honor of the late Mary (Kevin) O’Hara, CSJ, ’45, PhD. A beloved philosophy professor, Sister Mary graced the St. Catherine campus with a towering intellect, imposing physical stature, and dedication to mentorship that helped advance the careers of many academics and professionals.
The $1.5 million fund was created as a bequest of the estate of Agnes Hyungnam Moon, PhD. The Sister Mary L. O’Hara Scholarship Fund will provide tuition support for students with financial need. The bequest will also create a second endowed scholarship, the Anna Jayoung Chung Endowed Scholarship Fund, named after Moon’s mother, who was a woman considered to be ahead of her time in early 20th century Korea for her commitment to women’s education. Both funds will be awarded with a preference for students studying philosophy.
