Mary Rainforth Theiler’s Story

“I came to Doane because the basketball coach sent me handwritten notes throughout my high school season, and that impressed me, so I scheduled a visit.

As a student, I was involved in basketball, a sorority, and tutoring.

Doane had and still has an amazing sense of community! You’re not just a number, people truly care about you!

I donate to Doane because I want to continue to see Doane thrive and carry on the traditions that have made Doane so special.

I am excited about the Our Time to Lead Campaign because it proves Doane is committed to a high level of academic success but is also working to impact communities outside of Doane’s campuses. This campaign not only supports the physical improvements to campus but also allows Doane to expand learning opportunities through new programs.”
