Brescia University As the longest-standing provider of higher education in Daviess County, Brescia University is firmly rooted in its student-centered mission to provide transformational education that meets the individual needs of each student in pursuit of higher education. Since 1925, when it first formed as the Mount Saint Joseph College for Women, to 1948 when it moved to the heart of downtown Owensboro in order to be most accessible to the needs of Veterans returning from WWII, to present day where it serves as the “Gateway to Downtown,” Brescia University has been a cornerstone in the foundation of the Greater Owensboro Community as well as the global population it serves. As we near the completion of Brescia University’s first century, Brescia’s spiritual founder, St. Angela Merici’s instruction to “read the signs of the times and adapt” is as critical today as it was when St. Angela first spoke these words to her community of Ursuline sisters in 1535. In the most recent strategic plan, centered around caritas, Brescia’s faculty, staff and students are guided by the words of Jesus that we must love one another as we have been loved by God. Brescia University will strive to embody the call to love, consistent with our Ursuline legacy, by creating a culture of diversity and inclusion that promotes Authentic Communities and that seeks to find and remove unjust barriers that hinder learning and human flourishing with the intentional use of Universal Design. Brescia is focused on producing servant leaders whose lives exemplify leadership capabilities balanced with the responsibility of service. It is what we call the Brescia Difference: Respect for the Sacred; Devotion to Learning; Commitment to Growth in Virtue; and Promotion of Servant Leadership.
