The University of Scranton is a Catholic, Jesuit educational institution serving men and women, and is committed to affirmative action to assure equal opportunity for all persons, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, disabilities, sex, sexual orientation, age or veteran status.

Message from the President and Student Government

Dear Students,

Welcome to the University of Scranton or welcome back. As we begin a new academic year, your personal journey starts or continues here at this great Catholic and Jesuit University. This experience will be exciting, challenging and most importantly fulfilling as you enter a new chapter of your own lives. My hope for you is that you find, or continue to find, this place as welcoming and supportive as I do and you experience the best of what we have to offer.

This University--your University--is a special place. The people and the mission make it so. The University is animated by the vision of St. Ignatius and his initial companions. The Society of Jesus is over 470 years old and continues to educate young men and women in the spirit of Ignatius. One of the key phrases capturing the charism of Ignatian spirituality is "to love and serve in all things." In Ignatius' Spanish it reads "en todo amar y servir." To make this charge your own, I ask you to take time and experience the University fully during your years here. This is something that you need to do intentionally. College is a busy time and it is easy to get lost in the day to day minutia. Ignatius would encourage you to take time each day to reflect on the positive and negative experiences of that day. Please heed this sage advice.

Our University has a proud tradition of success in place and we expect that you will rise to the challenge and achieve the same types of successes. That may be overwhelming at first but be assured you are ready and you will succeed. You have special gifts and the University of Scranton will challenge you to develop and use those gifts so that you may as Ignatius hoped, "Go and set the world on fire."

As we begin this exciting journey together, may God bless us all and may God bless The University of Scranton.

Sincerely,

Kevin P. Quinn, S.J. President

Dear University of Scranton Students,
