Empower: The Campaign for Marywood

Our vision is to empower students to live more meaningful lives.

We empower them to go forth and pursue their dreams while having a positive impact in the world. 

We empower our community to engage with us as we create intergenerational learning experiences for our students. 

EMPOWER The Campaign for Marywood will project Marywood forward and ensure everyone is empowered to reach new heights and fulfill a vibrant vision for our shared future.

Marywood University prepares students for success and purpose throughout their lives. The knowledge and values they learn here are the foundation of all they will do. The generosity of our community is what allows us to prepare and equip our students.

It is not only our students who will benefit from a Marywood education, but also our community. Our region, like others, needs compassionate and highly skilled nurses, physicians, business owners, architects, and teachers. Marywood University is not an isolated institution, but rather a living, breathing part of the community we all share.

The future of higher education has come calling, and together, we will answer the call with the boldness, bravery, and generosity of the Marywood spirit.

Your commitment to Marywood University’s comprehensive campaign can change a life, build on our rich legacy, drive us in an exciting new direction, and help us realize our dream of empowering students and serving our community. We invite you, our alumni, neighbors and friends, near and far, to be the force behind a brilliant future.

Please join us as supporters of the EMPOWER campaign!

Gratefully,
