Inspired by a welcoming Catholic tradition and a dynamic Franciscan spirit, Villa Maria College offers individual attention and fosters compassion, justice, peace, respect for human dignity and a commitment to service. Vision Villa Maria College will be the premier student-centered college in Western New York, characterized by an unyielding commitment to serving the needs of individual learners, with: • Cutting edge pedagogy guiding and empowering students through individual pathways to academic success; • Compassionate and caring faculty members who nurture emerging talent; • Robust student life experiences fusing academics and student life into a vibrant whole; • Opportunities for the personal development of life skills that help students realize their full potential as human beings; • Prudent fiscal management and stewardship in support of a Felician Franciscan environment and student- centered atmosphere. History Villa Maria College was founded by the Congregation of Sisters of St. Felix (Felician Sisters) as a teacher-training center for its sisters in the education apostolate. The congregation, founded by Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska in Poland, is a Franciscan community dedicated to providing education, social service, and health care to the poor and needy. The congregation’s mission spread to America and one of the provinces was established in Buffalo, New York. Mother Mary Annette Guzowski, Provincial Superior of the Buffalo province, together with the congregation, founded Villa Maria College in 1961. The College was established as an affiliate of the Catholic University of America. In 1961, a provisional charter was secured from the Board of Regents of the State of New York to grant Associate in Arts (A.A.) and Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees to women religious. In 1965, the charter was renewed and extended to include lay women who wished to pursue an associate degree. In 1968, the College was granted an Absolute Charter and was recognized as a co-educational institution. In 1974, the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree was added. In 1972, the College became fully accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Reaffirmation was received in 1978, 1983, 1988, 1993, 1999, 2003 and 2008. In 2005, the Absolute Charter was amended for the College to offer its first baccalaureate degree. Villa Maria College is a member of the Association of Franciscan Colleges and Universities. Villa Maria College is a Felician Franciscan Sponsored Ministry. Accreditations Villa Maria College is chartered by the Board of Regents of The University of the State of New York.

  • A Look Ahead New Chapter Inside: Begins Annual Report 2005–06 2 President’S View
    Fall 2006 A Look Ahead New Chapter Inside: Begins Annual Report 2005–06 2 President’s View I WAS NOT SURE WHAT I WOULD FIND WHEN I ENTERED HILBERT COLLEGE’S CAMPUS DINING HALL on Oct. 13 with the noise of the generator in the background and the windows the only source of light. Yet the tables were filled with resident-students eating their hot lunches, albeit on paper plates, while sharing strategies for living without computers, television and phones. President Emeritus Sister Edmunette Paczesny and her family occupied another table celebrating her birthday by sharing lunch with students and staff rather than the gala dedication for Paczesny Hall and the William E. Swan Auditorium that was cancelled by the October surprise snowstorm. Staff shared stories of how they walked to campus in the midst of the storm and prepared meals for students in a kitchen illuminated by flashlights. Facilities staff cleared downed trees and maintained generators to provide heat for resident-students and the Campus Center. Hilbert Campus Safety maintained contact with local officials to coordinate emergency response efforts. What a powerful example of our mission and Franciscan values. Despite adversity, student well-being was our primary concern. This year Hilbert celebrates 50 years of building a learning community that has enabled graduates to make a positive impact on their professions and communities. This year Hilbert As we prepare for the anniversary celebration and presidential inauguration on April 20, 2007, the Hilbert community will complete a strategic plan to guide celebrates 50 decisions through 2012.
