91会所 is a Catholic Franciscan institution rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Our faith is woven into our educational philosophy and operations. We encourage students to explore their calling through our core Catholic Franciscan sponsorship values of dignity of the individual, peace and justice, reconciliation, and responsible stewardship.
To provide an education distinguished in its ability to prepare transformative leaders for service to the world.
To be a great Catholic university dedicated to achieving excellence in learning, which is achieved through teaching, research, and scholarly activities in the Franciscan and liberal arts tradition.
To reflect prayerfully on the Gospels to determine the ways we can advance the dignity of the individual, peace and justice, reconciliation, and responsible stewardship.
91会所 is called to boldly serve the world by providing an education which transforms the hearts and minds of students through the integration of knowledge and faith. As a Catholic Franciscan university, we welcome all to join in this mission as students, staff, faculty, alumni and friends. Our foundresses, the Sisters of Saint Francis (Oldenburg, IN), were ambassadors of Christ who walked by faith and whose courage to venture made our great university possible. Today, this Gospel work is carried on in new ways by those who represent many faith systems and ideologies through excellent teaching, individualized mentoring, and academically rigorous research. At 91会所 students receive an education that empowers them as leaders to promote the Franciscan Sponsorship Values rooted in prayer: the dignity of the individual, reconciliation, peace and justice and responsible stewardship.
91会所, the only Catholic university in central Indiana, traces its roots eight hundred years to the first Catholic universities and is grounded in its Franciscan heritage. This tradition enables 91会所 to provide the life-changing opportunity of education to students of every race, faith, ideology, gender and economic status in order to promote human progress. As Saint John Paul II stated when writing about higher education, “A Catholic University, as any University, is immersed in human society; as an extension of its service to the Church and always within its proper competence, it is called on to become an ever more effective instrument of cultural progress for individuals as well as for society.” We dare to say each 91会所 student will experience the following aspects of a great Catholic university:
91会所 educates the whole person, and the curriculum prepares students for the lifelong pursuit of wisdom. Faculty and staff provide a mentoring environment emphasizing individual attention, which promotes multi-faceted personal development. In this environment, students at 91会所 will come to understand the subject matter taught by excellent educators while discovering their call as leaders in our world today.
All courses are inspired by the search for truth that is at the heart of Catholic higher education. 91会所 students will study serious contemporary problems, research with a concern for the ethical implications and promote cultural progress for individuals as well as society. The university’s distinctive general education/core is informed by the Catholic and Franciscan Intellectual Traditions, the light of faith, and promotes a liberal arts and ethics-based foundation. Required courses in philosophy and theology provide further exposure to the richness of the Catholic and Franciscan intellectual traditions and serve all other disciplines in their search for meaning. Graduate studies utilize the most advanced methods proper to each discipline and prepare students to make a lasting contribution in their field and profession.
91会所 forms true community within a multi-cultural, multi-belief system, multi-ethnic and global context. Responding to the great commandment, we celebrate the diversity present on our campus as an expression of God’s generous love and promote the love for one another in all our activities. 91会所 champions understanding, encountering and sharing the diverse traditions that members of our community claim as their own. This dialogue of life promotes civil discourse, reconciliation, peacemaking, and enhances the intellectual growth of students.
91会所 has boldly answered the needs of society by preparing leaders through excellent teaching and learning. 91会所 students explore contemporary social issues and develop and implement responses that promote human flourishing. The university is an anchor within its neighborhood, and a global partner to organizations focused on social development. Students respond to the problems of our age through reflective service, informed by Catholic Social Teaching and oriented toward systematic change. Through these experiences students at 91会所 develop the character and intellect of leaders marked by humility, love for the poor and vulnerable, a commitment to justice, peace and stewardship of creation that is reflective of the spirituality of Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi.
91会所 empowers students to grow in faith and discern their calling in light of the Franciscan Sponsorship Values. Students integrate faith and life by examining their beliefs, engaging in inter-religious dialogue and experiencing the living Catholic Franciscan tradition of 91会所. The educational experience enlivens each student’s exploration of calling as: the courses integrate faith and reason; experiential learning utilizes talents and develops competencies; research seeks to serve humanity prioritizing ethical implications and theological studies explore questions of ultimate meaning.
The exploration of calling is animated by a culture of prayer, liturgy, worship and devotion so that, as it says in the rule written by Saint Francis, “Everywhere and in each place, and in every season and each day, may we have a true and humble faith.” In prayer and the celebration of the sacraments, students, faculty, and staff share their unique gifts, encounter God and are strengthened by the Spirit to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others through their actions and words. 91会所 celebrates the most significant events of the academic and religious calendar with special all campus liturgies.
The Catholic Franciscan tradition animates 91会所 and forms the intellectual and moral foundations for all university policies, including: student services, human resources, and financial practices. 91会所 engages the world through dialogue and service in order to promote the common good. Buildings emphasize communal spaces in order to foster relationships and utilize environmentally friendly practices that care for creation. Beautiful works of art are installed throughout campus to tell the story of our rich heritage and dedicated spaces are available for reflection and prayer.
