About Me:
The purpose of Franciscan University is to further the higher education of men and women through programs of liberal, professional, and pre-professional studies leading to the conferral of the baccalaureate and master degrees in the arts and sciences.
It is the further purpose of the University, publicly identified as a Catholic and a Franciscan institution, to promote the moral, spiritual, and religious values of its students. The University is guided by the example and teaching of St. Francis of Assisi. To accomplish this mission, the University embraces the following general policies:
Intellectual and Faith Community: The specific vocation of a student is intellectual development.
Evangelization: Through academic and co-curricular programs, the University promotes the ongoing and deepening of life in the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Church.
Dynamic Orthodoxy: The University has embraced this concept as a policy standard for its life, thereby striving to promote and maintain a balanced commitment to truth and life in its faith community.
Christian Maturity: The University recognizes that its ultimate purpose is to graduate men and women who are able to take a mature, responsible approach to life.
Good Stewardship: The University recognizes that its greatest resources are its people and pledges to treat each person with dignity and respect.
Finally, the University commits itself to this mission believing that it is promoting a normal, mature, Franciscan, Catholic, Christian way of life for its students. It believes that its norms for both academic and co-curricular development are rooted in long and proven tradition and are as relevant today as they were in times past. The University commits itself to ongoing prayer so that it may be humble before the face of God and receptive to those graces and blessings it needs to serve this mission.

"i would want to kill myself" in that
last testimonial. what i really meant is
i would really be unhappy.
i shouldnt use such strong language...
you at times, but i know if i spent three days in
your polluted scenery i will want to kill myself.
but no, seriously, the catholic faith is not an easy
thing to live. i am trying my damndest in this
crazy world, but i appreciate the ease with which
you welcomed and encouraged us to practice and
live and love catholicism... and i know that when i
am ready to give up, i think of your hallowed hills
and all the steubenvillians who are going about
their day in the state of grace, and i drag myself
to confession and start over. THAT is the miracle
of steuby u. it is like the smell of food in your
clothes when you leave the caf. it never really
goes away.
here after being inspired by one of its
alumni that taught at my school...and
that's where it all began. It has been
somewhat of a love hate relationship (as
most interesting ones are). Despite its
unfortunate location and infamous
quirks, I liked the place overall. If I chose
a school based on aesthetics, I would've
gone to a university in California (which I
could've for a lot less). But that wasn't
my most important criteria. In the end, it
was about the people. And though some
people loved to judge like it was their
job, I was fortunate to find people who
accepted me for where I was at;
spiritually and intellectually. I grew in
knowledge from dorm conversations with
some pretty cool people, made friends
during parties, and experienced many
3am epiphanies about life. I will always
love FUS for being the place where I met
my closest friends and accomplished so
many things in life. Shout out to Theta
Phi Alpha sisters (Love ya!), TTM, and
the Delts.
you at the same time. I remember the
great times of constantly harassing you
in The Gadfly and attending classes in
your smelly yellow halls. Do you
remember the time you said I was going
to graduate but then made me stay for
summer because of one science
credit? That was pretty funny. It was
almost as funny as the time I stole one
of your benches for a party off campus.
Do you still have the camp signs that
still display the names of the buildings
as if it where being attended to by a
camp councilor? In the end we became
good friends and we got something from
each other. I got a good religious
education and a degree and you got my
dignity and $50,000.
I think I got the short end of the stick.
Oh well. *hug*
