Spring 2020: A Mother’s Blessing Serves Her Children Well

Zach Baeseman

Shortly after Mother’s Day last year, Dr. Zach Baeseman ’05 sent us a moving letter in which he described a quiet walk across campus and celebrated his alma mater – his “nourishing mother,” to translate the ancient idiom from the Latin. His thoughts had been running on motherhood after a return visit to campus to teach at the Medical College of Wisconsin-Green Bay [MCW-Green Bay]. Baeseman, a physician, specializes in family medicine with obstetrics, so he himself serves as a blessing to new mothers every day. This is Baeseman’s letter. Given its theme, we knew we’d have to hold it till the holiday came round again before we could share it with you now. Perhaps that was a blessing in itself. For, if ever there was a time we all needed a little maternal TLC, it is now. From St. Norbert College, blessings and love to all our mothers as we get ready to honor you this weekend.

Spring/Summer 2020: A Norbertine at Yale

Mike Dauplaise

The Rev. Matthew Dougherty ’09 arrived at St. Norbert College on a path he confesses was headed more toward atheism than the priesthood.

Dougherty was ordained a priest in 2015 and is now a Ph.D. candidate at Yale University in the school’s department of ecology and evolutionary biology. He spoke about his journey with Mike Dauplaise ’86.
