It is with heavy hearts we share the news of the recent passing of Kurt Blaugher, Ph.D. In 2023, he was named Professor Emeritus after 36 years of dedicated service to the Mount and to the Department of Visual and Performing Arts. He shaped generations of aspiring artists through his encouragement, generosity of spirit, and kind-hearted nature. May he rest in peace.

Today the Mount community celebrated Sr. Mary Kate Birge who, after 25 years of teaching in the theology department, will be retiring at the end of the semester. Here she stands with her colleagues in the theology department, past and present. “The Mount has been formative for me as a teacher, as a theologian, and as a human being,” she said. We wish her well as she is called to her next adventure in life.

Congratulations to the Applied Behavior Analysis Program on earning full recognition as a Tier 2a program from the Association for Behavior Analysis International! Tier 2a recognition is the level immediately before accreditation in the organization’s Tiered Education Model, and it reflects a program’s alignment with rigorous standards for curriculum, training quality, and faculty qualifications.

This distinction is especially meaningful because not every ABA program pursues or earns this level of recognition. For the Mount’s MSABA program, it signals strong, independently evaluated preparation for future behavior analysts and reflects the program’s commitment to high-quality, research-informed education grounded in the Mount’s mission.

Special thanks to Program Director Dr. Griffin Rooker, Associate Director Dr. Kwadwo Britwum, and the faculty, staff, and administrators whose dedication helped make this achievement possible. We are proud of our students, faculty, and the program we have built together, and we celebrate this recognition as a reflection of that shared commitment.
