Newman University Mission Statement
Newman University is a Catholic university named for St. John Henry Newman and founded by the Adorers of the Blood of Christ for the purpose of empowering graduates to transform society.
The mission is expressed and expanded through our:
Core Values
1.Catholic Identity
Newman finds guidance in Ex corde ecclesiae and other teachings of the Catholic Church and draws nourishment from its relationships with surrounding Catholic communities. At the same time, our Catholic identity is distinctively shaped by the influence both of our founders and sponsors, the Adorers of the Blood of Christ, and the Catholic theologian and educator St. John Henry Newman. From the Adorers, we receive our mission of developing and empowering our graduates to work for the betterment of society—a mission. From St. Newman, we inherit our vision of the university as an institution that educates the whole person to seek the truth and to lead a meaningful and purposeful life. Our curriculum honors the richness and vitality of our Catholic intellectual heritage while affirming the value of dialogue involving persons of varied cultures and religious traditions.
2.Academic Excellence
A firm grounding in the liberal arts strengthens all our programs and instills habits of lifelong learning that will accompany graduates as they pursue a variety of personal, academic, and professional goals. Newman’s faculty strives to utilize best practices in instruction, the insights derived from scholarly research, and a culture of assessment to promote classroom and program improvement. Newman University has a special mission—to make an environment of academic excellence available to a diverse range of students and to empower those students to transform the world. It is the development of the intellectual, moral, and spiritual capabilities of the entire university community combined with our collective dedication to the promotion of peace and social justice that characterizes academic excellence.
3.Culture of Service
The passion to serve others is integral to the missions of both Newman University and the Adorers of the Blood of Christ. We foster a distinctive culture of service in which each member of the community is encouraged to find personally fulfilling ways of growing through giving. Time and talent are visible symbols of our commitment to transforming the human condition and service is also transformative for the student who successfully develops a critical consciousness that hungers and thirsts for justice and peace. Through our commitment, we honor that common mission which we share with our founders and sponsors, namely that of developing and empowering people.
4.Global Perspective
Newman University is committed to promoting an interdependent global perspective formed by a critical consciousness that hungers and thirsts for justice and peace. More than just an awareness of other cultures, such a perspective affirms the interdependent nature of all of creation. It speaks to the ideal of the educated person in the modern world: a person who possesses a strong sense of self yet embraces difference; a person who not only seeks knowledge but effectively applies it; a person of wide vision who remains well grounded. To this end, we seek to engage a diverse array of students in outstanding educational experiences designed to cultivate the knowledge, skills, and values they will need to become leaders in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
