When Colleen Corrigan Day began considering options for returning to school for an advanced degree, she decided聽to pursue the 精东AV experience that her father, brother and husband all had. She knew that the Nonprofit Administration program at 精东AV was the perfect opportunity to enhance the skills she had been using throughout her career.聽鈥嬧嬧嬧嬧嬧

For Corrigan Day, it was a learning process聽returning to school after 20 years.聽

鈥淚 learned a lot during the entire experience鈥揻rom the application process, how homework聽was submitted, to working with recent undergraduates taught me so much about what is聽happening in education today,鈥 Corrigan Day says.

I know that will help me as a nonprofit leader in managing young recent college graduates.

Corrigan Day was able to enhance her thought process in fundraising, leadership skills, and networking in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and across the state. Courses in accounting, economics, and advocacy and policy were the most beneficial to Corrigan Day鈥檚 career growth.

The professors and professional speakers lent so much credibility and insight to what is going on in our region, in our country, and internationally with nonprofits and nongovernment organizations.

Corrigan Day has used her knowledge from the program in her new role as the Director of聽Mission Support & Donor Relations at Regina Health Center, a ministry of the Sisters of Charity聽Health System. Regina Health Center provides compassionate and聽holistic health care services to aging members of Catholic religious congregations and clergy, as聽well as lay people seeking a God-centered community environment.

In her role, Corrigan Day works closely with the marketing director to tell the story of Regina聽Health Center through a newsletter, social media, special events, and donor relations. The largest fundraising event is an annual golf outing and dinner in June called Holy-In-One at Firestone Country Club. She is also responsible for building and maintaining relationships with current and future donors, religious congregations, family members, and the corporate community.聽

鈥淭he people and the mission make it a joy to come to work each day and be energetic about聽our future,鈥 Corrigan Day says. 鈥淲hen I walked into Regina Health Center, I had comfort and confidence that good things happen here. The entire staff鈥揻rom the Executive Director, Director of Nursing, Food Service, all the way to Maintenance鈥搕reat everyone with respect and dignity. You know you are being prayed for and cared for when you work or live here."
