Levels of Giving

Mrs. Dorothee Coleman was the moving force behind the foundation of the Newman Apostolate here at EIU. She helped to start the Catholic Study Club in the Fall of 1939, which became the Newman Club in 1940. Her concern for the faith life of Catholic students was only overshadowed by her love and enthusiasm for life. She was truly a witness of what it means to walk in the light of Christ. Her activities on behalf of the Newman community will forever be remembered.

In recognition of their crucial support for NEWMAN, Coleman Associates receive from Bishop Daniel Ryan, Bishop of Springfield in Illinois, a personally inscribed plaque suitable for wall hanging.
