Lourdes University fosters a community that can shape, reshape, and transform individuals’ life journeys. We continue to promote emotional and social experiences that empower our community members to explore the world around them and begin to learn important skills for life.

Growing with the Sisters of St. Francis, we continue to embrace our mission of empowering individuals to think critically about the world around them and the impact they can have. As a university formed around the liberal arts and professional programs, our community continues to engage in respectful conversation that allows individual expression, exploration of ideas, and interpersonal connection. Our faculty, staff, students, and alums continue to immerse themselves in our Franciscan Values as they live the mission beyond our campus.

We create meaning in our interactions here at Lourdes and work diligently to meet students where they are in their journeys. I welcome you to our community and what we are so very proud of.

Pace e Bene (Peace and all Good),

William J. Bisset, Ph.D.

President, Lourdes University
