Past Presidents

From its founding through the present day, a strong line of visionary presidents has led Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. Guided by the Franciscan core values of collegiality, contemplation, humility, peacemaking, and service, each president has left their own unique, indelible mark on the institution.

 

With great respect, we value their contributions and honor the tremendous impact each has had, both on the institution and within the community.

 

Thanks to their leadership, Alvernia is well prepared to fulfill its promise to form ethical leaders with moral courage to do well and do good.
