WELCOME!
Perhaps the best introduction to Mount Aloysius College is to start with our Mission Statement The first sentence demonstrates our commitment to a worthy goal: The mission of Mount Aloysius College is to respond to individual and community needs with quality programs of education in the tradition of the Religious Sisters of Mercy. You will learn that we are responsive to the needs of those seeking professional education and training by investing in and delivering state-of-the-art academic programs And we also respond to workforce needs by bringing in new pathways to professional education when the community reaches out to us Embedded in this educational experience, whether in established or new programs, are the Core Values of the Religious Sisters of Mercy: Mercy, Justice, Hospitality, and Service.
Our aim is to prepare you for life as a contributing member of society. Indeed, the concluding sentence in the Mission Statement makes this manifest: Each student will have the opportunity to acquire knowledge and to develop values, attitudes, and competencies necessary for life-long learning within an environment that reflects a liberal arts orientation and a Catholic, Judeo-Christian heritage. In short, the key result of a student’s experience at the Mount is that you are ready for life-long learning, in order to stay competitive and inquisitive about your profession and the world around you, and to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Please visit our campus soon to learn about our mission and see it in action We use words to describe what we say we do, but when you are here, you will see how we live the mission every day. From our outstanding faculty to our campus life professionals, to the support staff in student services and the library, our entire community has an unwavering commitment to your learning and growth. I absolutely believe you will find no better place to begin your adult life and your journey as a contributing member of society.
Sincerely,
John N. McKeegan, J.D. President, Mount Aloysius College
