-Mary Anne Schofield, Ph.D., and her current dog, Mr. Knightley

Mary Anne Schofield, Ph.D., is not a Cabrini College alumna, nor a Trustee or parent of a student. Her connection to Cabrini is unique.

“In 1983, my dad began walking our Scottish terrier and basset hound mix, Oliver Twist, on Cabrini’s campus. On the walks, our dog befriended the dog of former academic dean and acting president Sr. Barbara Leonardo, MSC—Blackie.

"The dog walks began my family’s story with Cabrini, and we found ourselves on campus for many events, including mass in the Chapel and Sunday concerts in the Mansion. Cabrini College and the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus have a special place in the Schofield family’s heart. My decision to gift my estate to the College was just the natural progression from this long relationship.”
