Welcome from the President
Thank you for visiting Saint Louis University at its online home. I am so pleased you have chosen to come to our Web site. I hope you take the time to look around and learn more about our great institution, which since 1818 has not only offered a superior and challenging education, but it also has instructed tens of thousands of SLU alumni in the grand Catholic, Jesuit tradition of being women and men for others.

If you are visiting today because you are interested in applying to SLU, I want to tell you a little bit more about our fine university. At SLU, you will receive instruction from professors considered some of best in their fields. In addition to the comprehensive, second-to-none educational experience, you also will come to understand the importance of using your education to help others. I am proud that our students, faculty and staff contribute more than 850,000 hours of volunteer service to local and international communities and institutions each year.

I encourage you to explore our site to see everything Saint Louis University has to offer you and your family. After your online visit, I hope you take the opportunity to schedule a tour of our SLU campus.

This is why our campus life is so rich: to encourage you to become more complete, stronger, more you.
