Garvey Welcomes Class of 2015, and Calls for a Year of Service

In his speech to first-year students and their parents, President John Garvey said that faith and virtue are key to academic success.

“We believe that the work of a university, the search for truth and beauty, is done in the dark if it is not illuminated by the light of faith,” he said.

In his remarks at the annual Mass of the Holy Spirit, the president called for a renewed commitment to service.

"As we begin our anniversary year, we acknowledge the special role that serving others plays in the life of the university. We urge you to do something more than service, though. We urge you to serve virtuously. If you go to Jesus first, he will transform your service into acts of charity," Garvey said.
