Engage Owensboro to launch Thursday The Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce Engage Owensboro, an interactive database designed to more fully engage citizens in Greater Owensboro.

Brescia University alumna Dr. Dori Howard to speak at September Rooster Booster
Future is bright at Brescia Since its origins as the Mount Saint Joseph Junior College for Women in 1925, Brescia University has maintained a single overarching goal – Student centered education as directed by the four pillars of its mission: Catholic, Liberal Arts, Career Preparation, and Service to Others. Inspired by St. Angela Merici, the faculty and staff of Brescia University strive to understand the unique needs of contemporary students and to address those needs with an education customized to the individual student. The result: Values driven graduates who use their talents and skills to build successful careers, to nourish strong families and make a difference in the lives of others, the life of the Church, and the life of the community. Brescia University graduates include physicians, lawyers, teachers, social workers, business people, engineers, coaches, priests, religious, moms and dads, and a multitude of other life vocations – Many of whom call the Greater Owensboro area HOME. The driving force that propels Brescia University is the belief that through education, lives are transformed and through those lives, the world becomes a better place. With one foot firmly planted in a rich history and the other planted in an innovative and visionary future, Brescia University is poised to continue its legacy of transforming lives for many years to come. Onward, Brescia!
