BUILDING THE FUTURE

The day we broke ground on our new Athletic Field House was one of those perfect days – blue skies, brilliant sunshine and a special feeling of energy that comes when you mark a milestone on the way toward a brighter future.

Mission Statement

Care for Others

When it’s complete, the multimillion dollar Field House investment will change our virtual campus as much as it alters our physical one. That’s because building a new home for our Bruin athletic teams and supporters opens up opportunities for us to enhance the support and services that we provide to more than 18,000 students around the globe. One example? The Freeman Lozier Library, already one of the best college libraries in the country, will be able to expand the resources in its collection and its services, and undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students all stand to benefit.

In this issue of The View, you’ll see other cases of the future being built, as well. Alumni like Susan Fields, Anna Rossetti and Kristy

Morales were already making a difference at Driscoll Children’s Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, and their impact and influence has only increased since the three of them pursued and earned their MHA degrees together. You can read more about their joint journey starting on page 4.

New programs also shape our collective future. Earlier this year, we launched a 100% online Mental Health Technician certificate program to bolster the entry-level workforce in one of the country’s highest-need career fields. The credits in the credential are stackable, so students can build their own futures and apply the credits toward a bachelor’s degree.

Armed with an applied Bellevue University education, I am confident that graduates of this program and all of our 60,000plus alumni will meet whatever challenges the future holds.
