Serve

Seeking to Serve

Our passion for service stems from a powerful belief about what we can accomplish by working together in community.

As a Catholic, Marianist university, we are deeply committed to the common good. Our spirit of hospitality and inclusiveness permeates campus, and we educate for service, justice and peace. Join us in working toward a brighter tomorrow as we serve on campus, in Dayton and around the world.
