INTERNATIONAL MARIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE (IMRI) Kathleen M. Webb Gloria Falcão Dodd Dean Director of Academic Programs

Founded by the Marianists of the University of Dayton, the Marian Library/International Marian Research Institute has the universal mission to make the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, better known, loved and served. This global, scholarly and pastoral privilege is fulfilled above all through the operation of the Marian Library, founded in 1943 and today recognized as the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of printed materials on the Blessed Virgin Mary, as well as through the International Marian Research Institute (IMRI). The International Marian Research Institute was established in 1975 at the University of Dayton in affiliation with the Pontifical Theological Faculty Marianum in Rome. IMRI offers a graduate program from the Marianum leading to a Licentiate of Sacred Theology (S.T.L.) and a Doctorate of Sacred Theology (S.T.D.). The program is accredited by the Marianum and approved by the Congregation for Catholic Education at the Vatican. Presently there are only two places in the world, Rome and Dayton, where students can earn the Licentiate of Sacred Theology and the Doctorate of Sacred Theology with specialization in Mariology.

DEGREE — LICENTIATE OF SACRED THEOLOGY Father Christopher George Roberts  Union City, Indiana Thesis: “Ullathorne’s The Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God (1904): Foundation and Doctrinal Content”

46 GRADUATION MEDAL

With the entire Marianist Family throughout the world, the University of Dayton celebrated in 2011 the 250th anniversary of the birth of Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, the founder of the Society of Mary (Marianists). That year, the University began a new tradition that grounds us in our mission and demonstrates the University of Dayton’s commitment to act boldly and imaginatively in community. Honoring that tradition, we entrust to graduates a medal bearing the image of Blessed William Joseph Chaminade on one side and the seal of the University on the other.
