Marian University recently made a donation of 125 pounds of peanut butter to the Salvation Army for their summer peanut butter and jelly program.

“The Marian community came together and donated peanut butter as part of our ‘Living the Mission: Sustaining Creation’ theme from the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes, who are the sponsor of the institution,” said Cathy Mathweg, associate vice president for Mission and dean of Academic Advising and Academic Services. “This project aligns with Marian’s Core Value of Service and Community, and allowed faculty, staff, and students to collaborate for such a worthy program.”

Marian University was founded in 1936 by the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes in Fond du Lac, Wis. The institution has one of the lowest student-faculty ratios in the state, and strives to live its core values as a community committed to learning, dedicated to service and social justice and joined together by spiritual traditions. Marian offers undergraduate, adult, master’s and doctoral degree programs at its main campus and in facilities throughout Wisconsin.
