Summer break is always busy for physical plant staff, but COVID-19 made it busier. Adapting classrooms, residences, and common spaces became a priority, in addition to working on the FSPA Prayer Garden, an expanded VAC strength training facility, and replacement of Murphy Center windows.

The nation's focus on racism and social justice in the wake of George Floyd's death was translated into action with the creation of the Greg and Diane Lind Nursing Diversity Scholarship.

Greta Mousel ’19 followed in the footsteps of her mother, Vickie (Bjork) Mousel ’78, getting her nursing degree at Viterbo and then going into the same specialty her mother has worked in for 40 years, obstetrics. “We talk shop several times a week,” Greta said. “The bond we have is the most meaningful I have ever experienced.”

Tina Janzen ’96 calls getting her master’s degree in education at Viterbo one of the best things she ever did for herself, both as a teacher and a person. Now, her twins are both juniors at Viterbo. Nathan is going for a double major—music and finance—with possible careers as an opera singer or financial advisor. Jessica plans to become a pediatric oncologist and is majoring in biology, with two minors related to health care.

Growing up in a small town, Quinn Hause ’98 was attracted to Viterbo’s small size and personal touch. “I absolutely loved everything about Viterbo, the small class sizes, professors who knew who you were,” said the longtime social worker. “You weren’t just a number. They actually wanted to see you succeed.” Her daughter, Caitlin, grew up in that same small town and will start her freshman year as a biochemistry major at Viterbo in the fall, drawn to the university for many of the same reasons that attracted her mother.
