The Saint Francis University educational experience leads you to “Reach Higher, Go Far.” Building on that exhortation, the theme of my Pres. Inaugural year is “onwards toward the highest principles,” inspired by Pope Francis. My prayer is that your experience at Saint Francis University will allow you to explore new ideas, and, in the words of Pope Francis, “stake your lives on noble ideals.
