JUDGING FROM the deafening roar and rumble of the sold-out
crowd, Hawkmania V exceeded all expectations. The March 21 event
was a non-stop thrill ride through momentous matchups and poignant
character arcs. Besides putting on an epic show, students successfully
raised $10,000 to grant a child’s wish through Make-A-Wish.
Hawkmania V was the grand finale for the event founder, architect,
and guiding star, Josh Hammer ‘16, who is graduating this year with
his Master’s of Education. Throughout the years, this event has been
a labor of love for the many dedicated participants and community
volunteers that bring it to life. Hammer explains, “Every year we proved
that what people thought was impossible was possible. The guiding
force from the very first event was to build up school spirit and bring
everyone together for a noble cause. I hope that people see the
powerful message behind the [glorious] spectacle and that the event
lives on. I plan to come back to Hawkmania X one day.”

Holy Names to study nursing, preparation that led to
a rewarding career as a nurse in a hospital psychiatric

One alumna’s tale of
resilience
renewal
NOTHING IN Maria Mendoza-Sanchez’s ’13 early life in
small-town Mexico or in her long career as a nurse hinted
at the public spotlight she would one day attract. But
two years ago, the Highland Hospital oncology nurse and
mother of four made headlines when she and her husband
were deported to Mexico, leaving behind three of their
children. Before their departure, however, Mendoza-
Sanchez put up the fight of her life, backed by colleagues,
community members, and classmates from Holy Names
University.
Homeowner, taxpayer, school volunteer. Mendoza-
Sanchez’s family’s life was deeply embedded in Oakland,
their hometown for over 20 years. Facing deportation, Maria
wondered: “What if I raise some community support?”
Friends and neighbors gathered signatures in protest of her
deportation and encouraged her to write her senator. When
all else failed, she took her case to the press.
The heart-rending immigration case, which barred the
couple from returning to the U.S. for 10 years, drew
empathy and active support from political leaders
including Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congresswoman
Barbara Lee, who worked first to prevent her deportation
and later supported her return to the U.S.
Today, Mendoza-Sanchez is back with her children in

Oakland, for at least three years. “It was a long fight, but it
ended up being worth it for my family,” she says.
At Lee’s invitation, Mendoza-Sanchez attended the February
State of the Union Address in Washington D.C., one of many
lawmakers’ guests who put a face to national issues.
Mendoza-Sanchez demonstrated determination and
resilience from a young age. At 14, she left an abusive
home just north of Mexico City for the capitol. There,
she supported herself by cleaning homes while earning a
technical degree to become an executive secretary. She
also met and married Eusebio Sanchez.
After the birth of their first child in 1994, they crossed over
the U.S. border to secure work permits and build a life of
opportunity for their young family.
CALLED TO HEAL
She knew no English but took classes to learn. Working
in housekeeping for an assisted living center in Alameda
became the gateway to Mendoza-Sanchez’s future career
in health care. She earned promotions to receptionist,
then administrative assistant. Later, while working in a
nursing home, she yearned to offer hands-on comfort. But
no nursing credential meant she was banned from even
passing residents a glass of water.
Determined as ever, Mendoza-Sanchez trained to become
a certified nursing assistant; then a licensed vocational
nurse through a community college.
As her career advanced, Mendoza-Sanchez’s aspirations
grew: She wanted to earn a BS in nursing and better
provide for her family. In 2011, she applied to HNU’s BSN
program as an adult degree-completer. She recalls a
pivotal conversation with Fay Bower, then chairperson of
the department: “Dr. Bower asked me if I could do it while
I was working full time, (because) it wouldn’t be easy,”
Mendoza-Sanchez says. “I told her that all I wanted was the
opportunity — and she gave it to me.”
“Holy Names was one of the best things that happened
to me,” Mendoza-Sanchez adds. “The day I received my
letter of acceptance, I decided to work double (shifts) to
make it happen.”
Then in 2013, with the degree finish line in
sight, Mendoza-Sanchez and her husband I think this experience is

In 1843, Eulalie Durocher, with Mélodie Dufresne
and Henriette Céré, founded the Congregation of the
Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary in Longueuil,
Quebec, Canada. Known as Mother Marie-Rose, Eulalie
had a global and globalizing approach to people and to
education. In the first brochures advertising the convent,
music, art, embroidery, and home economics were all
included in the curriculum along with basic subjects such as
French, mathematics, English and religion. In addition, the
students committed themselves to social outreach. Mother
Marie-Rose invited them to share with the needy and to
visit the sick as she herself did. Most importantly, Eulalie
learned from her mother at an early age the importance of
hospitality, which she manifested throughout her life. The
SNJM Mission Statement summarizes these values of our
foundress: “We seek the full development of the human
person through education, social justice, contemplation and
the arts, especially with people who are impoverished and
marginalized.” 
This mission and the core values of the SNJMs have been

THE LONG WAY HOME TO HNU

the Competition
THE MISSION of the Holy Names University athletics
program goes beyond the scoreboard. The program’s
coaches and staff help student-athletes develop a passion
for service and the tools to achieve life goals.
The HNU Athletics ecosystem is comprehensive: 15 varsity
teams, one club team (men's volleyball), three community
intramural sports (dodgeball, basketball, futsal), and the
Hawk Student Athlete Advisory Committee.
A high number of the student population at HNU are
student-athletes. The athletics program is an essential
component of the educational
experience for these students—they
learn by playing their sport.  
Athletics provides

for personal growth every single an opportunity for

and not giving up. Student-athletes Debbie Snell, director of athletics at HNU
make mistakes almost every day
during practice or a game—this
teaches them resilience. They learn how to get up and
show up.” said Debbie Snell, director of athletics at HNU.
Snell joined the athletics program in 2015. For Snell this
is more than just a job, “I feel called to go where I go. It’s
how I live out my faith.” Under her leadership, the athletics
program has grown and achieved many firsts: the first
varsity team in the National Collegiate Athletic Association
Championships (men’s golf), the first basketball team to
make it to the PacWest Conference Championship (men's
basketball), the first baseball player drafted
by a Major League Baseball franchise
(Aiden McIntyre'18), and
the first Golf Coaches Association of America Coach of the
Year award (Chris Oetinger).
Creating a family environment is important to Snell and
she encourages her coaches to travel with their families.
“Our coaches are mentors and examples to our students.
Through them, students see examples of how to be
good partners, fathers, and mothers,” says Snell. She
asks all new coaches before they are hired: “How can you
guarantee the student has a good experience? How can
you serve this family?”
Besides the family environment, Snell says new student-
athletes are drawn to HNU
Athletics because it’s an
opportunity to help
build a program and
make a big difference
at a small school,
both on the field and
in the community.
Snell explains that
reaching out to the local
community is an important part of the
program—student-athletes have already clocked 120
community service hours this year. Service activities
include raising money for cancer research, granting
a child's wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation,
volunteering at homeless shelters and food banks,
preparing gift baskets for children’s hospitals, and
cleaning up local community areas, like the Oakland Zoo.
“These are the experiences our students will never
forget,” says Snell. “It stays with them forever and gives
them a lifelong love of service. Through these experiences
they become strong, intentional leaders.”
Nobel Hadgu '18 finds his path as a coach
FOR NOBEL HADGU '18, 26, life began at the tail end of
a civil war whose effects would disrupt his education and
force his family to scatter across a continent by the time he
was 10. Born in Ethiopia, Hadgu spent his early childhood
in Eritrea, where schools might seat 15-year-olds alongside
second graders, and parents often pulled students out of
class if they needed them to work. Hadgu and his family
saw education as a great privilege.
Soon, his father, a physician esteemed
for his work fighting AIDS, had to flee What centers me is

later he and his younger sister reunited Nobel Hadgu '18
with the family in San Francisco, where
he attended George Washington High
School.
After a path that included junior college and working in
the worlds of fashion and culinary arts, Hadgu was ready
to go back to school and learned of Holy Names’ soccer
program through a friend.
Says Hadgu, “Being an immigrant, you aren’t hip to the
game of how you get yourself into college,” he recalls.
“When I got my acceptance letter to HNU, my mom cried.

My parents gave up everything for me to be
here in the U.S. What they want to see more
than anything is for their kids to live up to the
potential they have.”
Through coaching and working at soccer camps
for kids, Hadgu says it became clear to him that
his professional calling lies in coaching young
people. “It may have taken me eight years
to get a four-year degree, but I know what I
want to do now,” he says. “What centers me
is understanding that I’m running my own
race.”
Today, Hadgu is a soccer coach at his former
high school and works part-time at HNU as an
instructional technologist. In his role, he helps
coach faculty on the use of the University's
online learning management system and
bringing courses online. “It’s been an interesting
transition from student to consultant. I always
make sure to meet faculty where they are, similar
to coaching. I have a powerful voice as a recent
graduate, because designing our classes from the
student perspective is the most
important thing we can do.”

 COMMITMENT TO LIBERATING ACTION
An Ally & Advocate
Kristina Abella '19 builds a caring community
KRISTINA ABELLA ’19 wasn’t sure
what she wanted to be when she
started at Holy
Names University
four years ago. As
a first-generation
Filipino-American
she was treading
uncharted territory.
“I was told my
senior year in
high school that
college is about
the formative
experiences and who commits to
your success at that school,” said
Abella. “The professors, advisors, and
other students here committed to my
success.”
Abella appreciated the supportive
community she found at HNU, but
saw the need for something more—a
community within a community, a safe
space.
Through her Community-Based
Service-Learning course Abella started
an internship at Alameda County
Family Justice Center, a one-stop
center for individuals and families
experiencing violence or abuse. This
internship gave her the tools and
training she needed to begin to create
a safe space on campus. She shared
her ideas with other students and staff
members and they encouraged her to
start a new club.
“I wanted to get students to talk
openly about sensitive and taboo
subjects, like sexual assault and body
issues, and from there build an open
community dialogue,” said Abella.
She read news reports about how
other universities buried sexual assault
allegations and wanted to make sure
that didn’t happen at HNU.
14 I HNUTODAY
Abella named her new club "The
Darlings Club" in honor of her mother,
a strong and resilient
survivor of domestic
violence. “My mother
calls me and anyone she
cares about 'Darling,' and I
want to make this a caring
community. I learned from
her how important proper
support is,” explained
Abella.
In the two years since its
founding, the club has
hosted numerous community events,
including trainings with residential
advisors on how to be an ally and a
workshop with representatives from
Bay Area Women Against Rape on
available resources and advocacy
work.
The club also hosts inclusive events
on campus, such as Walk a Mile in
Her Shoes and Denim Day. “These
collective events are an accessible and
inclusive way to talk about sensitive
topics and show people who their
allies on campus are,” said Abella.
Abella found her calling through these
experiences—acting as an advocate
for children and trauma survivors. She
is currently working with children in an
after-school program and will continue
this work after she graduates in May.
“My goal for the Darlings Club is to
make noise and show that students
need more advocacy embedded into
the culture on campus. I hope the club
leaves a legacy of support for future
students and that those students can
continue to push for more education
and openness.”
Irene Woodward Grant
awarded to professor
Anastasia Prentiss, PhD
Anastasia Prentiss, PhD, assistant
professor of communication studies, has
been awarded the Irene Woodward Grant
in the School of Liberal Arts.
A gifted educator, Dr. Prentiss has taught
at HNU since 2001. “Her students call her
‘insightful’ and ‘understanding’ and—high
praise—'relatable,' and she always finds
time to mentor them,” said Ann Alderman,
Dean of the School of Liberal Arts.
Dr. Prentiss will use the grant for an
ethnographic and organic inquiry
into the important issue of human
trafficking in Oakland. She will explore
the intersectionality between human
trafficking, homelessness, immigration,
and the challenges of making
transformational change in a hostile
(costly) environment.
“I am an ethnographer, performer, and
storyteller. Sharing people’s stories
through performance is my product,” said
Dr. Prentiss.
Chronic Pain Crusader

IN OCTOBER 2018, less than a month

Chiropractic degree, Alan Bertolero ’15

He is able to help people who have

remember that this is something bigger
than myself,” he says.
Bertolero’s interest in chiropractic
medicine started while he was a
biology student studying kinesiology at
Holy Names University. Bertolero came
to HNU to play basketball, but had to
quit the team his sophomore year, after
sitting out the entire season due to
chronic knee pain.
“I saw lots of doctors to help me with
my knee pain. The first one to look at
something besides my knee as a factor
in my knee pain was my chiropractor.
SERVICE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE POOR OR MARGINALIZED
This helped me figure out what I
wanted to do for a career.” After
years of rehab he is now able to play
basketball again pain free.
Bertolero feels passionate about
his work and the difference it can
make in people’s lives. He attributes
his success to going all in even in

back from the Dominican Republic
in October 2019, Bertolero wants to
focus his career on helping athletes
overcome injury. He says, “I think
most people can accept failing at
something, but never getting the
opportunity to try [because of an
injury]. That’s something I don’t want
others to have to go through.”

HNU Professor Empowers
Young Leaders and Innovators
in Africa
In 2018, Dr. Timothy Weekes,
assistant professor of education,
traveled to Madagascar to facilitate
a week-long business development
workshop, “Disrupt This,” based on
the Design Thinking Process.
“It was an incredible opportunity. It
was my first time traveling to Africa,
and throughout the workshop I
was continually impressed with the
students’ high level of motivation
and focus. The ideas that these
students brought forth, tested, and
developed were truly innovative,”
said Dr. Weekes.
By incorporating what they learned
in his workshop, Dr. Weekes hopes
these young innovators will soon see
their ideas come to life.
Dr. Weekes will present his research
at two international conferences
in 2019: The International School

 DEDICATION TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN
A Tech Tonic
Tiana Davis Kara ‘06 empowers
teens to pursue technology careers
FOR TIANA DAVIS KARA ’06, an employment gap in
2015—when Gap Inc. downsized its marketing team,
including her job—proved to be a “beautiful blessing.”
Following a hard-charging media planning career for
brands from Mervyn’s to YouTube, she reassessed her
options. “I was constantly drawn to things that were social
impact-related (for) people of color and women,” she says.
A volunteer stint for a nonprofit providing technology
education to African American girls confirmed Kara’s
interest.
Today, as executive director for New York-based
#BUILTBYGIRLS, she’s busy setting young women’s feet
on professional pathways to tech-powered fields. The
organization connects girls, ages 15 to 22, with “no-fluff”
resources: one-on-one mentoring, network building tools,
and gets them in the door at tech companies for events,
internships and first jobs.
They are ready, they are eager, they
are determined. They’re at the point
where they say, ‘I don’t care about
a school dance. I’ve got a 24-hour
hackathon I’ve got to crush.’”
Tiana Davis Kara ‘06, executive director of #BUILTBYGIRLS
“My vision is for #BUILTBYGIRLS to truly, truly take the
industry by storm and amplify the voices of girls who
are eager to step into the tech industry but are hesitant
and concerned with its current state,” explains Kara,
referencing the lack of gender equality and diversity
among high-tech workers.
Studies forecast millions of jobs will go unfilled for lack
of trainees in the pipeline, Kara says. But as their tagline
asserts: #BUILTBYGIRLS is every future tech leader’s secret
weapon. Participants have built robots, started nonprofits,
and built apps to diagnose Parkinson’s disease and test
drinking water safety.
16 I HNUTODAY
Kara’s own secret weapon
may well have been HNU.
The only child of a single
working mother, there was
no guarantee her path
would extend much beyond
her Oakland home. “I was
obsessed with basketball
and wanted to get better,
and I wanted to leverage it
into a tool to get me into college,” she says.
A basketball scholarship to attend HNU achieved her goal.
She arrived as a biology major determined to become a
doctor but allowed herself intellectual freedom to explore.
Kara discovered a love for writing that fanned her interest
in marketing. An on-campus job at a summer camp for
children, 5 to 13, contained further seeds of the future she
would nurture for herself—and others.
“I loved it,” she says. “I tapped into their personalities and
gravitated toward the older kids. That was something that
opened my eyes to working with young people.”
And she couldn’t be more contented with her role
supporting the next generation.
“They are ready, they are eager, they are determined,”
Kara says. “They’re at the point where they say, `I don’t
care about a school dance. I’ve got a 24-hour hackathon
I’ve got to crush.'”
