Ursuline College Welcomes Four New Board of Trustee Members
Ursuline College has recently named Sister Donna Marie Bradesca Marilyn O’Neill, Christine Stevens and Rajanee Shendure as Board of Trustees members.
“These four individuals represent a depth of experience in the spiritual, educational, financial and healthcare fields and will undoubtedly be an asset as we move forward in the continued success of the College,” said Ursuline President Sister Diana Stano, Ph.D.
After receiving a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in education from St. John College, Sr. Bradesca well understands the mission of a women-focused College. She currently serves as pastoral associate for St. Ambrose Church and an adjunct professor for St. Mary’s Seminary, both Cleveland area organizations. This Brunswick resident received her Doctor of Ministry from United Theological Seminary.
Widow of longtime Ursuline board member, Patrick O’Neill, Marilynn O’Neill comes to her new role with a great deal of familiarity with the College. After hearing her husband talk about Ursuline for over 14 years, she was eager to get involved. This mother of six grown boys resides in Shaker Heights.
In addition to being a new board member for Ursuline, Stevens serves as Board President for the Alzheimer’s Association of Cleveland. She brings to the College an extensive background in medical and health services as well as community development. She is married, has three children and lives in Shaker Heights.
Shendure brings to Ursuline’s Board a special interest in the education of women, financial management and investments. Currently the Vice President and Treasurer of BDS Financial Services, she moved to the United States from India more than three decades ago. She is married, has two children and lives in Chagrin Falls.
Ursuline College’s Board of Trustees is comprised of 30 individuals from diverse backgrounds and various professions who serve as College representatives and have a strong commitment to the College’s mission.
