Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College is welcoming a new set of board officers for the Alumni Association Board.
Margaret “Peggy” McCormick-Platz ’88, ’21G is serving as president. She earned an undergraduate degree in music education and returned to The Woods for her Master in Leadership Development. She has served as the Community Service-Learning Coordinator at St. Ursula Academy in Cincinnati for the past 17 years. Along with being on the Alumni Board at SMWC, she serves on the Board of Trustees for the Ursuline Education Network. In her spare time, she volunteers as a music minister at her parish, All Saints.
The new vice president is Catherine “Cathy” Schueth Thomas ’88. She has a degree in education and has been in the field for more than 20 years. She and her husband, Bill, lived in Italy for four years, where she started her company “Tesoromio.” Since moving back to the States, Thomas has worked in sales and corporate events for McNamara Florists in Indianapolis. She recently started her own educational consulting practice. She has three daughters, one being an SMWC alumna.
Danielle Isbell ’19G is the secretary for the board. After earning her Master in Leadership Development, she wanted to use it to pursue opportunities she never thought were possible. She works in the nonprofit sector and is currently the director of resource development at United Way of the Wabash Valley. One of her goals through the board is to help online students and alumni feel connected to the College.
