3. We are extremely pleased to announce the successful completion of the largest fund-raising
campaign in the 83-year history of Mount St. Mary’s College. Thanks to your generosity, we
were able to end the Invest in the Mount campaign six months early and above goal.
The strong support we received from you,our donors,and from our trustees,regents,graduates,faculty,
staff, and current students is cause for great pride. Throughout this campaign, we joined together to
strengthen the institution we hold dear and to make a tangible difference in the lives of the many new
students who come to Mount St. Mary’s College each year.
On behalf of all of us, we offer our thanks and gratitude for your participation and support of the
College’s mission to provide a superior education, enable our students to build leadership skills, and
foster a spirit to serve others.
In this President’s Report and Honor Roll of Donors, we mark the end of the Invest in the Mount
campaign, which began in January 2005. We now embark on a new stage in the life of the College.
With the momentum we have created and the investments we have made in students, programs, and
facilities, the College is positioned to improve our service to students and to the larger community.
On page 16, we acknowledge the leaders whose vision and commitment made the• Invest in the
Mount campaign possible.
On page 5, you will find photos from our Finale Celebration, held earlier this fall.•
Student leaders from both our campuses share a few words on page 4 about how changes on•
campus—in classrooms, residence halls, and other student spaces—are already having a positive
impact.
The photos on pages 6–15 showcase the amazing transformation the College has undergone. As•
you will see, the College has used the funds raised to upgrade and construct multiple buildings
on both campuses, infuse new monies into endowed scholarships, and give additional support to
academic program development.
Starting on page 20, we also give thanks to the thousands of donors and friends who helped make•
the Invest in the Mount campaign such a resounding success.
Once again, we thank you for your heartfelt generosity and dedication to Mount St. Mary’s College.

5. 4 President’s Report January 1, 2005–June 30, 2008
What an exciting year it has
been at Mount St. Mary’s
College. As a member of the student
government, I saw how much the
Chalon campus was transformed by
the Invest in the Mount campaign.
One of the more exciting
renovations, at least for me, was the
move of the Student Activities Office
from the Humanities building to Leavey Commons. Right next
door is the new Student Lounge, formerly the Lecture Hall,
which brings commuter students and residents closer together.
I’m not a science major, but I have many friends who really
appreciate the renovated labs and science classes in the St.
Joseph Administration and Seaver Science Center. They thank
the donors for their generous contributions!
The renovation of LittleTheater,now known as theWilliam
H.Hannon Theater,was monumental.A lot of clubs on campus
used this facility for events like Mount Community Night and
Pangkat Pilipino Cultural Night.
I would also like to thank the many donors who gave
directly to scholarships. As a scholarship recipient myself, I
know firsthand what a difference scholarships make in the life
of a student.
On behalf of the entire Chalon student body,I would like to
extend our gratitude and appreciation for the many wonderful
changes to our campus. Not only did the renovations enhance
the social and academic life at Chalon, but our campus is even
more beautiful than before.
Sincerely,
Taline Hanna
President
2007–2008 Associated Student Body
Chalon Campus
As the 2007–2008 associated
student body president for the
Doheny Campus, I want to personally
thank you for all of your contributions
to Mount St. Mary’s College. My
fellow classmates and I are grateful
for the many improvements to our
beautiful campus as a result of your
generosity during the Invest in the
Mount campaign.
We are thankful every day for the improvements to the
Ahmanson Weingart Hall classrooms. Professors say that the
technology makes it easier to teach their classes and that students
are more focused. The Rose Hills Auditorium has become the
best place on campus to have student workshops and special
ceremonies such as the Laurel Day Awards.
Everyone is looking forward to using the new Ken Skinner
Parking Pavilion and enjoying the gardens and sculptures along
the Adams Art Walk. And thanks to the new Hannon Hall, the
residents there feel like they have a home away from home.The
study room,the balcony patio,and the first floor lounge are great
places for girls to get together, study, and relax.
Your contributions have helped us all in many ways, for
which I want to thank you. My fellow classmates and I are more
than grateful.
Sincerely,
Ocaidy Hunziker

Mount Celebrates Completion of Largest-Ever Campaign
Mount St. Mary’s celebrated the completion of its Invest in the Mount campaign at the Chalon Campus in Brentwood in September.
Approximately 300 people attended the finale event, which included a campus tour of renovated facilities and the unveiling of a
donor wall commemorating leadership gifts.
The day began with a Mass celebrated by Monsignor Royale Vadakin in Mary Chapel.It was followed by a luncheon program where
MSMC President Jacqueline Powers Doud announced that the Invest in the Mount campaign, which started in January 2005, ended six
months ahead of schedule and above goal. With an original fund-raising goal of $45 million by December 31, 2008, the College closed
the campaign on June 30, 2008, having raised nearly $54 million.
The event also featured two speakers, student Cassandra Krieger, a senior majoring in English and minoring in pre-law and
an award-winning Mock Trial Team member, and Helen Boutrous, associate professor and chair of the History and Political Science
Department. Boutrous personally thanked donors on behalf of the Mount faculty. “With your generosity,” she said, “our students can
have the facilities and the resources they need to gain all they can from their college experience—and to thrive beyond this campus and
throughout their lives.”
The program closed on a musical note, with Leslie Cunningham ’90 singing “The Impossible Dream” from the musical Man of La
Mancha.
The Campaign Finale Celebration had many highlights, including a speech by student Cassandra Krieger (top left); a reception and luncheon in the Campus Center (top right);
reunions with friends (bottom left); and a song by Leslie Cunningham ’90 (bottom right).
