Yesterday, the Marian University Online team stepped away from the day-to-day and leaned into what truly fuels our work: connection, collaboration, and shared purpose.
Our retreat was an opportunity to grow together, to strengthen the bonds that make us better teammates and better stewards of our mission. Through meaningful conversation, reflection, and a lot of good laughs, we left with renewed energy and alignment to support Marian University Indianapolis Journey toward 2030.
We were especially grateful for our guests, who helped us expand our thinking and connect our work to the greater impact we’re striving for each day. Dr. Kenith Britt kicked off the morning through discussion and forward thinking of the impact of online education. Angela Phelps, BBA, MA led us through Lego Serious Play exercise where our team got to think on our feet and utilize hands on learning to find our personal and team superpowers. Kristin Stapleton shared her time reminding us that a teams work is so much stronger and powerful than what we can do on our own. We got a tour from Christopher Creighton at our future home down Coldspring Road. Their presence added inspiration, expertise, and heart to the experience.
Here’s to continuing the momentum, supporting one another, challenging ourselves to grow, and building something we’re proud to stand behind.
