Since 1950, Marymount has transformed lives through a values-based education grounded in: 

  • Academic excellence 
  • Student-centered learning 
  • Intellectual, ethical and spiritual development 
  • A focus on educating the whole person 

We want to shape students who learn with purpose and are rooted in our values of intellectual curiosity, service and a global perspective. 

Looking Ahead: A Bold Vision for Marymount’s FutureA mock-up design of the new Reinsch Pierce Family Campys Hub depicts a white building with columns and large windows in the middle of a walkway. College students walk past and sit in blue Adirondack chairs outside.

To continue our tradition of excellence and impact, Marymount is: 

  • Enhancing campus facilities, like the new Reinsch Pierce Family Campus Hub 
  • Introducing new graduate degree programs 
  • Recruiting distinguished faculty-scholars 
  • Providing strong scholarship support to attract and retain top students 

Marymount celebrates Class of 2025 and 75 years of excellence during Commencement Weekend. Graduates in cap and gown walk across the field to prepare to walk across the stage.The Power of Alumni Engagement
