“King’s is proud to call itself a Catholic university. We believe that it is our Catholic character that provides us with an inside advantage on educating intelligent, reflective, courageous and compassionate graduates; young women and men who are not only prepared to achieve academically and find meaningful employment, but who are not afraid to take on the difficult challenges offered up by an increasingly complex world.” Principal David Sylvester, PhD
What does it mean to be a Catholic university? As a Catholic institution, King’s emphasizes the value of each individual and the importance of social justice. Students from all faiths and backgrounds are most welcome. Respect for the human person is behind our commitment to diversity, accessibility, social justice and to building the common good. It is also why King’s has been a leader in service learning and outreach programs which connect the classroom to communities in greatest need. Members of Catholic universities are also challenged to build relationships based on integrity and respect. An inclusive, supportive community is one of King’s greatest strengths. At King’s we believe that the exchange of differing ideas and perspectives builds mutual understanding.
