We are so excited to introduce something new, and to do it with someone truly extraordinary.

*Voices of The Legacy Funds of HNU* is our new interview series celebrating the people whose lives and service define our mission. And our very first story belongs to Sister Carol Sellman, SNJM.

A 1969 Holy Names University alumna, Sister Carol devoted 42 remarkable years to HNU — ultimately serving as Immediate Past President of The Legacy Funds of HNU (LFHNU). In this candid conversation with LFHNU CEO Soraya Wright (HNU Class of 1985), Sister Carol opens up about what first drew her to Holy Names, her proudest memories from more than four decades of service, and why she believes LFHNU represents a powerful new beginning.

"I am consoled by the fact that we were able to utilize the endowment to continue the kind of work that the Sisters and the university have done for over 150 years," she shared.

Her story is a testament to what happens when purpose meets perseverance. We hope it inspires you as much as it inspires us.
