In the late 1990s, Viterbo President Bill Medland and members of the Board of Trustees were seeking a good way to honor D.B. Reinhart, the longtime friend of the college who had passed away in 1996. Reinhart was a highly respected businessman and leader who had built his company, Gateway Foods, into the largest privately-owned food wholesaler in the nation.

At the 1998 Viterbo Founders Day banquet, President Bill Medland announced that the university’s new Institute for Ethics in Leadership would be named to honor the memory and legacy of D.B. Reinhart, who had died in April 1996 at age 75.

Amy Jo Preisler travelled with Andean Community Partners (ACP) to the Sacred Valley of Peru and the village of Huilloc on a medical and volunteer mission trip. While there, she quickly realized it was a life-changing experience that would stay with her forever.

Like many Andean villages, Huilloc is a remote community that is underserved by both public and private entities.

What happens behind the scenes sets the stage for incredible moments when guests feel the magic and make lifelong memories, thanks to Teena Sauvola and other talented professionals like her. Sauvola is a designer and art director for internationally branded theme parks, such as Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and Universal Studios. She is part of a team that not only designs attractions, but also entire parks following a master plan.

As tribute to the 175th Anniversary of the FSPA, alumni reminisced about the well- respected and admired Sisters who had a large campus presence and an even larger impact outside of the classroom. The Sisters were teachers, mentors, role models, and friends to the Viterbo community. Sometimes funny, other times sassy or stern, but always with lifelong lessons to show up and work hard.
