VISION: To be a Catholic leader in higher education
MISSION : The University of Dayton is a comprehensive Catholic university, a diverse community committed, in the Marianist tradition, to educating the whole person and to linking learning and scholarship with leadership and service.
OUR CATHOLIC AND MARIANIST HERITAGE: SOCIAL JUSTICE AT UD
The beliefs and convictions of the Catholic and Marianist traditions of education are given priority in shaping the mission, vision, and practices within the University of Dayton community. These traditions call us to a universal view of God’s love for all people, and to an inclusive, participatory culture where all persons in the community are treated with respect and seen as possessing gifts that can enrich our community. “Our Catholic, Marianist approach to higher education is committed to social justice and dignity of the person. Members of the University community undertake the intellectual life as a form of service in the interest of justice; they work with the broader community to enhance social justice; and they design curricula to education about social justice. In addition, Marianist universities have a special concern for the poor and marginalized and a responsibility to promote the dignity, rights and responsibilities of all persons and peoples.” This quote is excerpted from: The President’s Council Statement on Diversity in Community at the University of Dayton. All initiatives to enhance inclusion and diversity at the University of Dayton are within the context of this commitment to achieving social justice. We acknowledge that the University recognizes that a lack of inclusiveness is a social injustice. This plan reflects the imperative the University places on increasing inclusion and diversity on our campus.
The University of Dayton is a private Catholic university operated by the Society of Mary located in Dayton, Ohio. The full-time undergraduate student enrollment around 7,500. Total student enrollment is approximately 11,000.
The University of Dayton is one of the ten largest Catholic schools in the United States and is the largest of the three Marianist universities in the nation. It is also home to one of the largest campus ministry programs in the world. The university offers more than 70 academic programs in arts and sciences, business administration, education and allied professions, engineering and law. It was first in the country to offer an undergraduate degree program in human rights.
In 2006 the University of Dayton's entrepreneurship program was named to the top 5 in the nation according to the Princeton Review and was in the top 10 of Entrepreneur magazine's "Top 100 Entrepreneurial Colleges for 2005". To complement the entrepreneurship program a student run organization called Flyer Enterprises was created in 2000. The university's law school is noted for its Program in Law and Technology, which emphasizes intellectual property law (patent, trademark, and copyright). UD was also recognized in 2006 as the third best university in the country in positive contribution the institution has made to the welfare of its surrounding community, and ranked number one in international student satisfaction compared with other universities both in the United States and overseas, according to the International Student Barometer, the largest survey of international student satisfaction in the world.
Rev. Leo Meyer purchased the land that the University sits on from John Stuart with a medal of St. Joseph, and a promise of $12,000 during a cholera epidemic in the 1800s. The land, that at the time was known as Dewberry Farm, was and was primarily vineyards and orchards.
The university was founded in 1850 as a day school and boarding school for boys called St. Mary's School for Boys, later St. Mary's Institute. In 1913, the city of Dayton experienced a massive flood when the Great Miami River overflowed its banks; the university responded by sending faculty, Marianist Brothers, and students out in row-boats to rescue Dayton citizens. Thus in 1920, in order to reflect UD's commitment to its surrounding community, it assumed its current name. Currently, UD is the largest private university in Ohio.
