Our webinars offer an opportunity for individuals to gather virtually for a timely presentation and conversation on Marianist topics and their relevance for our context at the time.

Marianist Education Webinar

To commemorate 200 years of Marianist Education, NACMS hosted two different webinars in 2019 that featured a panel of Marianist educators addressing this question.

The first webinar, "Gift of Marianist Education for Middle and High Schools," featured a panel of three educators from Marianist middle/high schools: Kate Beskid (Chaminade College Preparatory Middle School, West Hills, CA); Bill Raddell (Villa Angela St. Joseph High School, Cleveland); and Matt Dailey (Chaminade College Preparatory High School, St. Louis).

The second webinar, entitled "Gift of Marianist Education for Universities," featured a panel of four educators from the three Marianist universities: Susan Ferguson (University of Dayton); Bro. Ray Fitz, SM (University of Dayton); Jessica Gonzalez-Uhlig (St. Mary's University, San Antonio); and Koreen Nakahodo (Chaminade University, Honolulu). 

Both webinars were recorded in two parts that are viewable in the YouTube player below, or on our YouTube channel. A list of resources consulted during the webinars here.
