The Core Values of Marywood University: Then and Now

2004-2005

Marywood's Core Values, formulated by the Marywood University Community in 2003-2004, were reviewed by the Board of Trustees and approved by the President of the University on April 17, 2004. In this, Marywood's 90th year, we reflect upon Marywood's representation of those Core Values since 1915. This exhibit features a sampling of the archives from Marywood's rich history.
