Quotes from Prominent Figures
I see a university that is deeply immersed in the work of the world, but engaging that work with values, humanity and compassion. I see a university in which we embrace a rich, diverse interfaith community not in spite of our Catholic heritage and mission, but because of it.
—Joseph J. Foy, President
