Remembering Bobby Mulligan

Bobby Mulligan was a member of Dominican’s men’s basketball team when he tragically passed away on August 30, 1987, before the start of his senior year. A talented and determined competitor, Bobby was known for his perseverance on the court and his loyalty off it.

He had already scored 912 career points and was on track to reach the 1,000-point milestone. Following his passing, Bobby was posthumously inducted into Dominican’s 1,000-Point Club.

Forty years later, his memory remains part of the Dominican community. The Bobby Mulligan Memorial Scholarship Fund honors his life by helping students pursue their education.

Remembering Sue Heller

Sue Heller was the first Lady Charger to score 1,000 career points. A fierce competitor, she took tremendous pride in her Dominican accomplishments, including her 1998 induction into the Dominican University Athletic Hall of Fame.

A 1980 graduate, Sue earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and certification in special education. Following her passing on January 17, 2001, Dominican renamed its women’s basketball 1,000-Point Club the Sue Heller 1,000-Point Club and dedicated an annual women’s basketball game to her memory.

The Sue Heller Memorial Scholarship Fund continues her legacy by supporting Dominican students.

Join us as we remember Bobby and Sue, reconnect with fellow Chargers, and help carry their legacies forward.

Donor Enrollment Drive: LiveOnNY

JOIN US for our Donor Enrollment Drive and sign up to help save lives in honor of former
Dominican University New York grad, Lauren Shields. A childhood heart transplant recipient and,
later, a kidney recipient, Lauren had a lifelong passion of advocacy for donation. Her work led
to legislation in New York named "Lauren's Law," which helped increase donor registration rates
at DMVs. She worked as a Community and Public Affairs Liaison at LiveOnNY, raising awareness
and providing education for donation.

💙 Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and through her gift of donation as a tissue donor.  💙

Free and Open to the Public

"My daughter Sarah is not just my daughter, she's my best friend. In the holiest places around the globe, I prayed for her to get married. Finally, that prayer was answered. So why was my relationship with my precious daughter falling apart?"

What should have been the best year of a mother's life becomes her hardest. At her lowest point, a powerful dream sends her on an unexpected journey through Morocco and Egypt.

Searching for Sincerity is an intimate, inspiring storytelling experience about mental health, spiritual journeys, and the art of letting go.
