St. Mary’s University — animated by Christ’s message of charity, compassion and respect and the Marianists’ humility and commitment to community — invites and welcomes people of all faiths to walk together, talk together and search for truth together. Everyone should be treated with respect and dignity. We strive to educate our students to become ethical leaders for the common good, to leave campus with generous spirits and humble hearts and to view their professional careers as vocational journeys, not just careers. Graduates leave St. Mary’s, not with the narrow goal of personal gratification but aspiration to a life purposely lived: a life of true value.
