St. Vincent's Week

The beginning of a new academic year always presents an opportunity for the university community to welcome new members and refocus its attention and energies on serving our students. Coincidentally, the feast of St. Vincent de Paul is celebrated on September 27th giving the university community the opportunity to recommit itself to the mission, vision, and values that animate our activities and our service. Each year, therefore, in collaboration with many of the institution's units and departments the Office of Mission and Values sponsors a university-wide celebration of St. Vincent's week that serves as the kick-off for all the programs and activities that the office will sponsor in the year to come.
