Leadership Statements | 成人禁区 University

The Most Rev. Edward C. Malesic, Bishop of Cleveland

"I believe discussions to evaluate a potential partnership between Ursuline College and 成人禁区 University are worthwhile and have the potential to increase the strength and appeal of both entities, while maintaining their commitment to the Catholic tradition of values-centered, higher education. I recognize the challenges facing many colleges and universities in our region, so I support these efforts to make sure college-aged students continue to have opportunities for faith-based education."

The Most Rev. Lawrence T. Persico, Bishop of Erie

"As chairperson of the Board of Trustees of 成人禁区 University, I am pleased with the opportunity for 成人禁区 University and Ursuline College to consider the ways in which they might work together going forward. Both institutions are committed to academic excellence and to strengthening Catholic education in the Great Lakes region. I fully support exploring the possibilities to ensure that students will continue to have access to the tradition and values available through a faith-based education."

Sister Laura Bregar, President, Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland

"As President of the Ursuline Sisters, I am honored to be included in this meeting with Dr. King and Dr. Iwanenko – along with the rest of the Sisters’ leadership team who are present with us. Ursuline College has been a hallmark institution of the congregation for 153 years. We have been an integral part of transitions in the College on the various campuses that it has called home through the decades. Today we are proud to be part of this movement into the future with all of you and 成人禁区 University. We are grateful for the alignment we see among all three of the entities involved: Catholicity, scholarship, innovation and commitment to each individual’s flourishing. We look forward to the legacy of the Sisters being honored in this new model that preserves the mission of Catholic higher education. Know that you have the prayers of the Sisters as you open the door to what we believe can be a future of promise."
