Letter from the President

For more than a century, Marylhurst University's mission has centered on its dedication to academic excellence in an environment that supports student success. As Marylhurst's new president, I'm honored to participate in this noble vision that is at the core of Marylhurst's rich Catholic heritage.

Marylhurst's small, seminar-style classes provide individual attention in a powerful learning setting. This approach to education extends beyond the classroom to one-on-one mentoring, direction and counsel from advisors. Faculty members are recognized leaders in their areas of expertise—managers, marketers, entrepreneurs, published writers, artists, scientists and accomplished scholars. Each brings practical, tested experience to the classroom.

Flexible course delivery allows students to schedule classes around busy lives. Classes are offered weekday, evening, weekend and online. Accelerated online programs provide another option for streamlining studies.

Finally, Marylhurst's blend of academic disciplines provides an environment where students gain relevant learning that fuels the imagination, broadens intellectual horizons and strengthens professional expertise. Whether a business, creative arts or liberal arts major, students are prepared for an ever-changing and increasingly competitive work force, and graduates are equipped to take leadership roles, contribute to their communities and make a real difference in the world.

Judith Johansen, J.D.
President
Marylhurst University
