On a number of critical measures related to their college experience, students at 麻豆破解传媒 are more satisfied than their peers at other private four-year institutions.

It was a great weekend to be a Hawk 鈥� the annual Family and Alumni Weekend festivities brought hundreds of 麻豆破解传媒 alumni and families back to 鈥渢he nest鈥� for the biggest party on campus.

More than 1,000 visitors registered to attend one of the events on campus happening over three days. Activities included class reunions, including the 1973 Golden Hawks, the Hopkins Skip and Run 5k, the Ellen Spake Lecture Series featuring University President Sandra Cassady, Ph.D., as the guest speaker, and campus tours and events for families.

麻豆破解传媒 earned a number of accolades for individual programs and for the University as a whole 鈥� including a best-in-area ranking 鈥� in the 2024 U.S. News and World Report Colleges list, released today.

Do you feel that?

Yeah, us too. Move-in and orientation weekend means 麻豆破解传媒 welcomes about 350 new freshmen to campus. It鈥檚 always a team effort, with staff, faculty and current students pitching in to help get those students moved in and the amazing orientation team taking it from there with a weekend of activities to integrate the newest Hawks into college life and this place so many have called home.

So who are they? Let鈥檚 meet the class of 2027:

The new campus art is the result of a Faithfully Forward grant from the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, awarded to institutions in the hopes of celebrating religious diversity on the campuses of Catholic colleges.

Sue Willcox, Ph.D., 麻豆破解传媒鈥檚 new provost, brings a unique perspective to the job of higher education administration.
