As president of Marian University—and a proud two-time alumnus—I often find myself reflecting on four words that capture what this place means to me: blessed, energized, grateful, and inspired.

• Blessed to lead a mission-driven university rooted in the Catholic Agnesian tradition, where community, service, learning, social justice, and spiritual exploration guide everything we do.
• Energized by the incredible momentum across campus. Marian is strong, stable, and ambitiously striving to become a premier university in Wisconsin and beyond.
• Grateful for the courageous and visionary Sisters of St. Agnes, whose bold founding spirit continues to shape our mission and fuel our passion for education.
• Inspired every day by our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners—by their warmth, resilience, and unwavering commitment to making Marian a place of growth, support, and opportunity.

Whether you’re beginning your college journey, returning to pursue a new goal, or simply exploring what makes Marian special, I invite you to immerse yourself in all we offer. Embrace opportunities. Serve with compassion and courage. Live boldly as a global citizen—and enjoy the experience along the way.

Here’s to the roots that ground us, the momentum that drives us, and the limitless horizon we’re ready to claim—together. Here is to great days ahead!

Sincerely,

Aaron A. Sadoff, President
