The University Seal (on Cover)
The official seal of Franciscan University of Steubenville is a symbol used for academic purposes only. It represents the
University’s Catholic, Franciscan, and educational mission, all of which are symbolized by various components in the seal.
The seal, except for the name change to Franciscan University of Steubenville, is an exact version of the original image
created in 1946.
Description of the Seal
Emblazoned on the left side of the shield is the coat of arms of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis. The top section
shows a clothed arm representing St. Francis of Assisi; the other arm is the arm of our Lord. The hand of Christ bears one
of the wounds of his passion; the hand of St. Francis bears the stigmata of his passion. The crossing of the arms forms the
Greek letter Chi the first letter of Christ in Greek. Below this is a crown of thorns. This crown, along with the letters OPC
(Omnis Passionis Christi, Latin for “All for the passion of Christ”) and the three nails of the Passion, distinguishes the Third
Order branch of the Franciscan family.
The right side is the coat of arms of Baron Frederick Wilhelm Augustus Von Steuben (from whom the city of Steubenville
takes its name), plus a flaming heart to represent the Province of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, the division of the Third
Order Regular that operates the University.
A band encircles the seal and bears the inscription Franciscan University of Steubenville and A.D. 1946 (founding year of
the University) between two crosses.
On the sides of the shield is the motto “with fortitude and prudence.” The same motto, Fortitudo et Prudentia, is located
on the coat of arms of one of the oldest family names in Ireland, Aeoghan, more recently spelled Egan. Father Dan Egan,
TOR, served as the first president of Franciscan University.

HISTORY
At the end of World War II, as young men returned home from the front with limited educational and employment prospects, the Most Reverend John King Mussio, the bishop of the newly created Diocese of Steubenville, issued an invitation to the Franciscan Friars of the Third Order Regular: “Come to our city and establish a college.” The friars accepted his invitation, committing an initial $350,000 to what would prove to be a great education venture. In June 1946, the friars purchased the Knights of Pythias Building at 420 Washington Street. Six months later, on December 10, 1946, the College of Steubenville officially opened its doors to 258 students, most of them veterans and seven of them women. As enrollment grew, other buildings were bought or leased, until it became evident that proper expansion required enough land for a permanent campus. In 1953, the friars purchased a 40-acre tract on a site overlooking the city of Steubenville, and development of the present hilltop campus began. Although construction was not yet complete, classes began on the new site in 1961. Twenty-four years later, as the school continued to expand both its offerings and reach, gaining an international reputation for excellence in Catholic higher education, the name was officially changed to Franciscan University of Steubenville. Today, Franciscan University enrolls over 2,300 on-campus students from all 50 states and 18 countries and over 700 online students. They choose from 80 programs including 44 undergraduate degrees, 7 online programs, 9 graduate programs, and a popular study-abroad program in Austria. The University encompasses a 241-acre campus with 26 buildings, plus a multi-building apartment complex housing students and offices for University staff and associated ministries. The University’s evangelistic conferences, started in 1975, now reach over 60,000 Catholics through 30-plus events for adults, young adults, and high school youth. In the spirit of its patron, St. Francis of Assisi, Franciscan University strives, in all things, to heed the words first spoken by Christ to Francis in the little church of San Damiano, “Francis, rebuild my Church.” Committed to engaging the culture and renewing the Church, Franciscan sends forth graduates who are having a transforming effect on society as leaders in law, government, business, education, catechesis, evangelization, healthcare, and more. For its efforts, Franciscan has been consistently named as an elite First Tier school by U.S.
News and World Report’s “Guide to America’s Best Colleges.” It also has received recognition from The Templeton Guide, National Review’s Guide to America’s Top Liberal
Arts Schools, the Young America’s Foundation Top 10 Conservative Colleges List, Kiplinger
Personal Finance Magazine, Forbes, and the Cardinal Newman Society’s Guide to Choosing a
Catholic College.

MISSION
The purpose of Franciscan University is to further the higher education of men and women through
programs of liberal, professional, and pre-professional studies leading to the conferral of the
baccalaureate and master degrees in the arts and sciences.
It is the further purpose of the University, publicly identified as a Catholic and a Franciscan institution,
to promote the moral, spiritual, and religious values of its students. The University is guided by the
example and teaching of St. Francis of Assisi. To accomplish this mission, the University embraces the
following general policies:
• Intellectual and Faith Community: The specific vocation of a student is both an intellectual
and faith development.
• Evangelization: Through academic and co-curricular programs, the University promotes the
ongoing and deepening of life in the Lord Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and in the
Church and desires to lead others into this way of life.
• Dynamic Orthodoxy: The University embraces Dynamic Orthodoxy as a standard for its life,
thereby striving to promote and maintain a balanced commitment to truth and life in its faith
community.
• Christian Maturity: The University recognizes that its ultimate purpose is to graduate men
and women who are able to take a mature, responsible approach to the Christian life.
• Good Stewardship: The University recognizes that its greatest resources are its people and
pledges to treat each person with dignity and respect.
These five general policies are the basis for many specific policies, including:
• Academic: The University is a teaching institution, which values research primarily for
advancing the scholarship of the faculty. The University requires some specific courses and
some balanced selection of courses to promote liberal arts education and the importance of
theological studies and basic philosophy. The University, which observes the 1940 AAUP
statement, “guarantees its members academic freedom, so long as the rights of the individual
person and of the community are preserved within the confines of the truth and the common
good” (Ex corde Ecclesiae, No. 12).
• Student Life: The University desires all its programs to be guided by the law of love. Specifically,
the University welcomes entertainment and recreational activities that upbuild the lives of those
involved; promotes participation in physical health programs and athletic activities; promotes
personal and spiritual development, particularly through faith households; provides, within its
means, counseling and other support services as appropriate; supports Christian morality and
respect for life; embraces a Catholic worldview; encourages service off campus to the poor as an
essential part of a student’s educational experience.
Finally, the University commits itself to this mission believing that it is promoting a normal, mature,
Franciscan, Catholic, Christian way of life for its students. It believes that its norms for both academic
and co-curricular development are rooted in long and proven tradition and are as relevant today as they
were in times past. The University commits itself to ongoing prayer empowered by the Holy Spirit, so
that it may be humble before the face of God and receptive to those graces and blessings it needs to
serve this mission.

ALUMNI AWARD RECIPIENTS: 2008-2019
As a 40-year old insitution with over 5,000 graduates, in 1987, Franciscan University established a series of
Alumni Awards to identify those of its graduates who faithfully live the Franciscan mission and to recognize
their achievements in all walks of life.
In 2008 the Alumni Awards were restructured. This process included the consolidation of some awards,
modification of others and the creation of a new award. The results of this process are reflected in the awards
listed below. Awards given in previous years are listed on succeeding pages.
"Presented to graduates who have excelled in the areas
of healthcare, human services or life sciences. Recipients are
leaders in their specialties and provide an excellent example for
current and future alumni to follow."
"Presented to a recent alumnus or alumna who has
distinguished him or herself academically, professionally,
in community service or by demonstrating outstanding
personal achievement."
"Presented to an alumnus or alumna in recognition for
distinguished or faithful service to the Catholic Church through
vocational ministry in the local Church organizations or through
missionary work."
"Presented to an alumnus or alumna for oustanding
volunteer leadership or distinguished community
service, thus bringing honor not only to their alma
mater, but to their community at large."
