About
From the beginning, Sacred Heart University has been inspired and propelled by this Forward Leading Spirit.
The result has been more than 60 years of growth, accomplishment and contribution, culminating in the extraordinary development of the past decade. SHU is gaining national prominence, breaking new ground in our ability to attract the best students and faculty who want the kind of educational experience we offer.
The Pioneer Journey
Like never before in our 60-Year history, Scared Heart is in a position to lead- regionally, national and internationally. In fact, the New England Commission of Higher Education described our progress over the past decade as “remarkable, historic and impressive.” This drive to lead is inspired by our students who graduate steeped in the Pioneer Spirit and ready to serve the world. SHU alumni are not only educated to think and act and build meaningful careers but also guided to develop a strong moral compass and sense of responsibility to society. Today, we need your investment like never before to seize this moment and lead Sacred Heart into the next 60 years.
How We Lead
We lead through:
- the success of our students and faculty members
- our internationally recognized academic programs (career-focused, rigorous and socially minded)
- our innovation and discovery
- our service to community
- and our alumni accomplishments
The proof is everywhere on our campuses and in every member of our learning community—and has become more visible than ever over the last decade. By supporting this comprehensive campaign, you can advance the Pioneer Spirit and SHU’s extraordinary success story.
