(Mission statement of Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts) As our mission statement indicates, the mission of the college is an integrated one, consisting of a primary academic dimension and a spiritual dimension. The latter nourishes and orients the academic dimension while providing the animating principles of the larger collegiate culture and its ultimate purpose. Though these two aspects may be distinguished conceptually, in the lived experience of our community they are one. The natural outgrowth of this mission is a collegiate culture characterized by integral formation for human flourishing oriented to vocation through the free giving of self: “Man can fully discover his true self only in a sincere giving of himself” (Gaudium et spes § 24).

  • Rise of the New Catholic Colleges
    Rise of the New Catholic Colleges BY TIM DRAKE; REGISTER SENIOR WRITER September 23-29, 2007 Issue | Posted 9/18/07 at 11:31 AM The Register’s annual college guide (see special section) is bigger than ever this year. And it’s no wonder. A Catholic higher education renaissance is in the air, from the new John Paul the Great University in San Diego to Southern Catholic College near Atlanta. Sacramento University was given a donation of 200 acres of land for their campus, while Ave Maria University just finished building on its new campus in Naples, Fla. Even older colleges like Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina are seeing new programs — the school is now home to the Envoy Institute, applying Catholic teaching to cutting-edge issues. But at least seven entirely new Catholic colleges and universities have been created over the last few years. Their foundation has led to a debate about the nature of Catholic higher education and whether the newer schools are altering the landscape of Catholic higher education. “Growing a half dozen new schools isn’t going to reach many of the 85% of Catholic students who are going to schools that are not Catholic-sponsored,” said Richard Yanikoski, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, representing more than 200 of the nation’s Catholic colleges. “From the Church’s point of view, the mission is far larger.” Yet, it’s impossible not to notice the fact that nearly all of the schools established since the Second Vatican Council embrace their Catholic identity in a way much different from the schools founded prior to the council.

As a result, the WCCC worked on behalf of the colleges and, in some respects, the University of Wyoming and private institutions to ensure student success and operational institutions. The WCCC worked across the funding sources of three primary components of CARES funding to focus on three specific phases of operations: 1. Mitigation; 2. Recovery and Re-Entry; and 3. Return to the New Normal. In order to achieve supporting the community colleges and higher education students statewide, the institutions had three primary sources of CARES funds: • HEERF Funds—Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund provided a direct distribution from USDE to the IHE equally split between institutional operations and student grants.
