As a Catholic university, we are committed to the unfettered pursuit of truth under the mutually illuminating powers of human intelligence and Christian faith.
Our Catholic identity is expressed in our choices of curricula, our sponsorship of programs and activities devoted to the cultivation of our religious character, our ecumenical outlook, and our support of Catholic beliefs and values.
Precisely because Catholicism at its best seeks to be inclusive, we are open to all who share our mission and seek the truth about God and the world, and we are firmly committed to academic freedom as the necessary precondition for that search.
We welcome and benefit enormously from the diversity of seekers within our ranks, even as we freely choose and celebrate our own Catholic identity.

Lord, teach me
to be generous.
Teach me to serve you
as you deserve;
to give and
not to count the cost;
to fight and
not to heed the wounds;
to toil and
not to seek for rest;
to labor and
not to ask for reward
save that of knowing
that I do your will.
— Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556)
