their students and clearly demonstrate
what we mean by personal attention; and
alumni who show that success has many
different meanings.
You also will receive an update on our five
colleges and schools. Each is dedicated to a
tradition of sophisticated scholarship that
encourages our students to think broadly,
engaging them in academic programs that
demand they use the best of their minds to
discover who they are and prepare them to
become leaders in their chosen fields.
You will see why I believe in Villanova.
You will understand why it is so important
to keep Villanova, Villanova.
As 2008 comes to a close, I acknowledge that
the recent economic climate will continue to
present challenges moving forward. But with
challenges also come opportunities. We are
steadfast in our mission of providing an excellent
educational experience to our students and
to moving forward in a thoughtful manner
to assure that Villanova remains on strong
financial footing and accessible to a diverse
student population.
We recommit ourselves to providing distinctive
value for our students and a uniquely engaging
academic environment characterized by a strong
liberal arts foundation and our Augustinian and
Catholic tradition.
