About Neumann
President's Message
Something wonderful is about to happen. You are on a virtual path to discovering Neumann College, a College that may look like others
you have visited or explored but isn't like any of them. It is a College
that offers varied major areas of study like many others but doesn't
offer them in quite the same manner. It is a College that provides
many opportunities for co-curricular activity, like athletics, clubs,
and performing arts, but doesn't provide them for the same reasons.
Neumann College is a Catholic Franciscan College where the faculty
are the most dedicated individuals with credentials that match the
best of the best . . .
What is different is that this faculty will know you
individually, by name, and will make every effort to reach your head
and heart so as to understand who you are and how your dreams and
potential can intersect and be realized.
Neumann College is a place where you will receive an excellent undergraduate
and graduate education and preparation for your career or further
study . . .
What is different is that this College will help you
to realize that while knowledge is important in and of itself, it
is when knowledge is used in service of others that human beings experience
true reward.
Neumann College is a place where all types of opportunities, in addition
to your academic major, are available: academic clubs, athletics,
cultural and performing arts, social events. There will be lots of
time to have fun and to build memories . . .
What is different is that this College will also give
you the opportunity to experience the reality that learning and living
are one; that education is truly the combination of the intellect,
the body, the heart, and the soul, and that education is about relationships
-- going deeper into your being to discover the special gift of yourself
and all creation that surrounds you.
As the President of Neumann College, I welcome you and ask that you
take the time to continue your virtual tour of Neumann so that you
can learn more about it. Whether you live nearby and commute, or you
live farther away and plan to be a residential student, Neumann College
can assist you in achieving your hopes and dreams for a college degree
while providing you with an experience that meets your personal goals
as well. In short, at Neumann you will experience a sense of community
and receive an education that will serve as grounding for a life that
is productive, rewarding, and socially responsible. Therein lies the
secret of Neumann's success as an institution that believes in and
provides a liberal arts-based professional education in the Catholic
Franciscan tradition.
I look forward to meeting you here on campus. I hope you plan to visit.
Don't try to determine your college choice by yourself. Consider college
as a critical stepping stone toward the rest of your life. You will
find that Neumann is a friendly place, and the people on campus --
faculty, staff, students, administration -- want to assist you and
each other to become the very best we can be. From the smallest beginning
to the realization of tomorrow, at Neumann College, we live and learn
and together we grow.
Dr. Rosalie M. Mirenda
President
