ºÚÁÏÉç

On a crisp fall day, campus came alive as alumni, community leaders, and friends gathered to explore some of ºÚÁÏÉç’s newest spaces. From collaborative labs to outdoor gathering areas, these additions reflect our commitment to creating environments where students can learn, connect, and recharge—spaces designed to support curiosity, creativity, and community at every stage of the ºÚÁÏÉç experience.

ºÚÁÏÉç continues to expand academic programs and partnerships designed to open doors, strengthen career pathways, and meet students where opportunity is growing. These new offerings reflect our commitment to preparing students for what’s next.

It doesn’t take long for ºÚÁÏÉç alumni to start making a difference. With the skills they’ve gained and the values they carry from their Jesuit education, they’re out in the world creating real impact in their communities and their careers.

A NASA-funded research grant took Dr. Christopher Bass and two ºÚÁÏÉç students to the summit of Maunakea in Hawai‘i, more than 14,000 feet above sea level, to study rare volcanic asteroids.

Using NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF), the team conducted astronomical observations in one of the world’s leading research environments, turning classroom learning into real-world discovery.

From campus organizations to large-scale initiatives like D.I.V.E. Day, ºÚÁÏÉç is leading the way in building meaningful connections with our neighboring communities.

If you haven’t visited our campus in awhile, you might not recognize us. Recent enhancements include a new pedestrian square, renovation of our largest academic building, library refurbishment, and the LEED-certified McNeil Science Complex. Next up: we’ll be renovating a historic firehouse.

SGA president Legende McGrath ’26 helped ºÚÁÏÉç earn a top 20 national ranking from the Princeton Review, reflecting student leadership and impact.
