As a first-year president and two-time alumnus of Marian University, four words come to mind: blessed, excited, grateful, and inspired.

• Blessed to be part of a truly mission driven organization in the Catholic Agnesian tradition, focused on community, service, learning, always advocating for social justice, and celebrating the wonders of spiritual traditions.
• Excited to be part of an organization in a good financial position – poised and thirsty to become a premier university, not only in Wisconsin but in the world.
• Grateful for our founders, the tough, determined, loving women of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes, who in 1936, started their own college, rather than bow to the state.
• Inspired by a welcoming and supportive student body, staff, faculty, alumni, and community – as well as our beautiful campus, that stirs a sense of awe and wonder.

Whether you are embarking on your new college adventure, making a change, or just visiting – we invite you to join us at Marian: embrace opportunities, serve as caring, compassionate, and bold global citizens, and have fun along the way.
Here is to Us, the strong foundation we are fortunate to stand upon, and the great future ahead.
Sincerely,
