Ursuline Education Network

The Ursuline Education Network (UEN) is thrilled to announce Rosann Whiting as its next Executive Director. UEN was created 30 years ago to foster collaboration among the Ursuline sponsored schools across North America.

Whiting joins UEN this fall. She most recently served as President of Ursuline Academy in Dedham, MA, where she led the school for 11 years. Her impressive credentials include degrees from Creighton University, Our Lady of the Lake University and the University of Notre Dame. She has been an Associate of the Ursulines of Mt. St. Joseph, Maple Mount, Kentucky for more than twenty years. Some of her accomplishments include physical enhancements to Ursuline Academy, growth of the student body, expansion of course offerings and a passion for Catholic education. Whiting’s knowledge of the Ursuline charism is demonstrated in her articulation of mission. She has always worked to be seen as a strong role model for the faculty, students and families of Ursuline Academy.

Whiting begins in her now role at the end of September and will attend the UEN Conference: Becoming Agents of Justice: Compassion and the Ursuline Charism. She follows Judy Wimberg, former President of Saint Ursula Academy in Cincinnati, who is retiring.

Students attending the Ursuline Education Network's Student Leadership Conference in June each modeled their unique school uniforms for participants from other Ursuline schools. They had a great time seeing the variety of uniform styles and colors.

Sisters Janet Marie Peterworth and Jean Ann Zappa , founding mothers of UEN, were presenters at the student leadership conference in Louisville, Ky last week. We thank them for their vision and for sharing their wisdom with Ursuline students from around the nation.

As the UEN student conference continues in Louisville, students met with Sisters Janet Marie Peterworth and JeanAnn Zappa, who led a moving session on Servant Leadership.

The 2018 Student Conference hosted by UEN is underway in Louisville, KY. Students from Ursuline schools around the country are working together. Today, the program encouraged Ursuline students to consider the personal gifts each of them bring to leadership.

UEN sends greetings to all Ursuline schools on the feast of St. Ursula. May we seek to emulate this woman’s faith, courage and great love.
