President of Marian College.
Sister Mary Sheila Burns '45, CSA
January 1964-June 1971
Sister Mary Sheila introduced Marian College to the people of Fond du Lac. Her talent for public relations and cooperation with the community gave the College a higher local profile. During her administration the College received North Central accreditation, moved to the new campus, assumed the St. Agnes School of Nursing and officially became a co-ed institution. Increasing numbers of students led to the building of the second student residence facility on campus, Naber Hall. The College's Planned Giving Society is named in honor of Sister Mary Sheila.
