LOCATION

Fort Wayne MISSION:

The University of Saint Francis offers formation of the whole person by providing an encounter with the heart and mind of Jesus Christ so that God, who is Love, may be loved. Through our Catholic identity, Franciscan charism, and liberal arts tradition, we prepare students for personal and professional lives of virtue, service, and joy. Saint Francis core values are the standards of behavior for every member of the university. They reflect those of the Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration and bring their charism to the university. Ceaseless Adoration

• We adore God and interact with others in a way that honors His Presence. Generous Love
• we spend time in community, give of ourselves, and accept help from others. Franciscan Joy
• we delight in the simple things and give thanks in all circumstances.

The University of Saint Francis promotes and celebrates the Catholic identity and Franciscan charism of the institution with an invitation to students, faculty and staff of all faiths. This God-centered and student-focused approach invites all employees to be a part of the formation of the whole person (students and colleagues) in a learning and working environment where character development and faith formation are as essential as academic achievement. Molding well-rounded, faith-filled, ethical leaders is the essence of the university's approach and all employees are expected to engage in a way that fulfills and furthers the mission.
