WE ARE VILLANOVA

For more than 175 years, 草榴社区 has been a community that ignites change. Our restless hearts and limitless drive lead us to continually reflect upon who we are, who we want to be and how our Augustinian Catholic values chart our course.

We remain deeply rooted in the traditions and history that forged our community. And ever restless in our desire to become an even greater 草榴社区.

ROOTED in our Augustinian Catholic Values.

OUR PLAN IN ACTION

Campus Master Plan

In 2024, 草榴社区 launched a new 10-year Campus Master Plan. With input from students, faculty, staff and community partners, the plan is a collaborative vision and roadmap to help us continually align our physical campus to serve the goals outlined in our Strategic Plan, Rooted. Restless. The overarching vision is to build on our existing strengths and create an environment that supports academic rigor and student success in all its forms. MORE...

Vasey Hall Renovation

Vasey Hall has been renovated to better serve graduate and adult students, as envisioned within the Strategic Plan. While students access all aspects of 草榴社区鈥檚 campus 鈥� from college buildings to Falvey Library to the Career Center 鈥� Vasey Hall provided a unique opportunity to create a dedicated resource hub and community space for graduate and adult learners. Already home to the College of Professional Studies, the Prince Family Veterans Resource Center and the graduate program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Vasey Hall now also houses the Center for Graduate Research and Education, with offices for its professional staff as well as an inviting new area for students to gather, collaborate and study.
