Record-setting Freshman Class Enters Walsh University

President’s Message
ere e Grow gain!
Another academic year began at Walsh on August 23rd as we welcomed our largest
freshman class ever—516; our most students ever—nearly 2,900; and our most employees
ever—801. And if you think we’re bored with these record numbers, you’ve been away too
long. Walsh is fueled by the enthusiasm of its students, its faculty, and its staff. We continue
to be excited about our students, our programs, and our development. Truly, the seeds we
have planted all these years are being harvested because we do believe that “…God gives
the increase.”
It’s our 49th year of education at Walsh. We do it in 24 buildings and nearly 550,000
square feet under roof. We do it with nearly 120 faculty and twice that in staff and
administrators. We do it with a belief that we are very good and we must become great. In
our words, we need to be “…a Catholic university of distinction.”
And so we’ll continue to finish our new community counseling clinic and our sports center.
We’ll complete our work on reaccreditation and we’ll plan our 50th anniversary in grand
style. We’ll add programs, seek funds for a new academic center, and build endowment to
support financial aid. We’ll monitor and examine all of our procedures, and we’ll improve in
every possible way.
Walsh University is an
independent, coeducational
Catholic, Liberal Arts and
Sciences Institution.
Founded by the Brothers of
Christian Instruction, Walsh
University is dedicated to
educating its students to
become leaders in service
to others through a valuesbased
education with an
international perspective in
the Judeo-Christian tradition.
inally, we'll passionately pursue our mission and seek to create a lasting
legacy. nd we'll do it all with a smile and a sense of hope. ruly, we have
been blessed.
