Current Gophers assistant Ted Riverso was her coach." https://www.startribune.com/512/story/831780.html
  • "Good Question: Do Family Rituals Really Matter?" WCCO-TV, Nov. 24, 2006. "'Rituals are really at the core of family identity,' said Dr. Carol Bruess, who studies the impact of family traditions at the University of St. Thomas. 'Rituals range from the daily, very mundane, you know, bedtime rituals, dinner rituals, the greeting ritual, 'Welcome home honey' and then there's the more annual, often holiday rituals.'" https://wcco.com/local/local_story_328093514.html
  • "Personal shopper," Star Tribune, Nov. 25, 2006. "Now open: Styledlife … Boutique owner Kevin Quinn ['89] was raised in Wisconsin and came to the Twin Cities to attend the University of St. Thomas.

  • "Stacking of West Side board threatens St. Paul's grass-roots system," St. Paul Pioneer Press, Nov. 26, 2006. The editorial notes, "Several years ago, we saw the debate over how the University of St. Thomas would expand along Summit Avenue. Never did St. Thomas use its vast resources to mount a direct attack on the boards of the Macalester-Groveland or Merriam Park district councils to advance its cause. Such a move would have made compromise unworkable and would have destroyed the fragile sense of shared community that remained after real compromise was reached." https://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/opinion/16091866.htm
  • "Tradition, but with a willingness to change," Star Tribune, Nov. 27, 2006. "Dave Brennan, co-director of the Institute for Retailing at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business, said Hubert White has succeeded over the years because of its high standards. 'What they do is not only provide a superior product, they also provide a superior experience to the customer, which creates loyalty' with the store and with individual salespeople, said Brennan, an occasional Hubert White customer. New business owners take note: 'If you create customers like they have been doing for 90 years, they actually become advocates for your business,' Brennan said. The customer's relationship with the store becomes more important than the brand names or the price, said Lorman Lundsten, chairman of the marketing department at the St. Thomas business school." https://www.startribune.com/535/story/833577.html
