The purpose of the Alumnae Association shall be maintained and foster the Teresan values developed at the College of Saint Teresa: By fostering friendship and communications among the alumnae. By assisting in the establishment and development of Alumnae Chapters. By promoting education, particularly the higher education of women. In the Past During the years of its existence, more than 12,000 women and more than 800 men attended the College of Saint Teresa and felt the influence of the Franciscan ideals of service and scholarship. In 1989, the College closed; however, through the formation of the Alumnae Association of the College of Saint Teresa, successor organization to the Teresan Alumnae Association, the Teresan influence in higher education begun in 1907 by the Franciscan Sisters can live on. In the Present The gift of the Teresan Scholarship Fund has signaled what a portion of the new mission will be. After closing the college, the court ordered the remaining College of Saint Teresa endowments to be managed by the Alumnae Association as the Teresan Scholarship Fund. The principal amount of $722,444.70 must always remain intact; scholarships are awarded from the interest earned each year. The principal monies have been invested in a variety of conservative stocks and bonds. The Alumnae Association works to achieve a variety of goals. We are proud to have: Established and maintained the Alumnae Office, Independent of the College. Managed the Teresan Scholarship Fund. Enrolled over 1,500 active members each year. Carried on the Teresan Memorial and Memento programs. Begun publishing Teresan Today, the quarterly membership newsletter. Advised and facilitated, Chapter formation and events. Hosted annual reunions. Trademarked the Rose Window. Our responsibility to Teresan ideals continues. Having accepted the duty to continue to foster these ideals, the Alumnae Association will strive to promote a sense of community to bring Teresans together at reunions and chapter events. We will continue to promote the higher education of women and of those who hold our Teresan values dear, especially through administration of the Teresan Scholarship Fund and the new Saint Teresan Leadership and Service Institute. Our challenge lies in identifying and welcoming new members to our organization who, while they may not be graduates of the College of Saint Teresa, value excellence in education. The ideals of Purity, Loyalty and Truth live on in the future work of the Alumnae Association of the College of Saint Teresa.
