Current Issue of the AFCU Journal

cover 2013

From the Chair:

As Chair of the Board of the Association of Franciscan Colleges andUniversities, I welcome this new edition of our AFCU Journal and takepleasure in the knowledge that it is now in your hands.

Our editor, Sr. Roberta McKelvie, with the support of Dr. Thomas Flynn of Alvernia University, has once again provided a veritable feast of published offerings to assist each of our campuses in the work of integration of Franciscan mission with the many facets of our campuses.

Next summer, we pack our bags and head to Neumann University where President Rosalie Mirenda and her faculty and staff will host our biennial practical symposium: Catholic in the Franciscan Tradition: Formation, Integration and Assessment.

Be sure to consult our AFCU web site regularly for more information on programs past, present and future Br. Gary Maciag, our Executive Director, loves to see those "hits" on our "cyber-space office."

May all our efforts find us constant in our dedication and capable of managing the significant challenges each of our member schools must address day in and day out.

Sincerely yours,
Margaret Carney, OSF
President of St. Bonaventure University
