Mount Mary University's vision is to be recognized as a diverse learning community that works in partnership with local, national and global organizations to educate women to transform the world.
All are welcome at Mount Mary University. Our teaching and learning environment fosters unity in a divided world. Core values of compassion, competence, community and commitment promote a holistic education that welcomes students from diverse backgrounds and emphasize the development of the whole person.
Founded by the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND), the university was built upon their unwavering belief in the transformational power of education. The SSND ministry works to create a society in which everyone can reach their fullest potential, and to build a global community that promotes respect for the environment, spirituality and human dignity.
The SSND constitution, You Are Sent, states that “Believing that our international presence gives us a unique global responsibility, we address urgent needs of our time, particularly those of women, youth and those who are poor.”
