Reflections on Donnelly's Enduring Mission

Donnelly's Mission Then and Now

Donnelly College co-founder Sister Jerome Keeler, OSB once said, “To maintain Catholic community colleges, even when they are conducted with as little expense as possible, will call for great sacrifices on the part of our community."

This holiday season, please consider a gift to help Donnelly continue to provide faith-filled education to students who would not otherwise be served. Your gift will immediately impact essential programs that support students academically, emotionally and socially.

“Now that I’m older, I have degrees from three different colleges, and they were all good institutions, but I’ve always felt that Donnelly had something about it that was different... Donnelly had an ingredient that the others didn’t have – that I felt a part of the community.”

-- Bill Reardon '61

“For as long as I’ve been a student here, Donnelly has embodied a deep commitment to its students and its community. The staff genuinely makes us their priority, listening and attuning to our needs. They promote a drive for excellence in each of us, always with a guiding hand and an open heart.”
-- Jesafin Xiong '25
