Marymount University is undergoing exciting new developments for the upcoming fall semester. These include introducing an innovative program in artificial intelligence, expanding facilities, adding a pep band and forming a women’s flag football team \u2014 all set to enhance the overall Marymount experience.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Expanding knowledge of<\/span><\/b> artificial intelligence<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Marymount now offers a Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/a> within the College of BILT\u2019s School of Technology and Innovation. This program was developed using foundational technology classes from existing programs in information technology, computer science and cybersecurity, and AI classes such as machine learning and robotics were added. Some courses offered within the program include Concepts of AI, Applications of AI and AI Trust, Bias and Social Impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"What\u2019s<\/p>\n

“Preparing students for the future workforce is our focus<\/span>,<\/span> and this has become so much more important over the past year with the introduction of generative AI and predictions on how AI <\/span>will <\/span>change the jobs of the future<\/span>,<\/span>” explained <\/span><\/span>Dr. Diane Murphy<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Artificial <\/span>i<\/span>ntelligence has been a rising focus not just <\/span>for <\/span>Marymount students<\/span> but faculty as <\/span>well<\/span> <\/span>\u2014 <\/span><\/span>f<\/span>rom landing <\/span><\/span>notable grants<\/span><\/span><\/a> and <\/span><\/span>fellowships<\/span><\/span><\/a> to being involved in <\/span><\/span>crucial research<\/span><\/span><\/a> and <\/span><\/span>gaining<\/span> recognition <\/span>from<\/span> major publications<\/span><\/span><\/a>. <\/span>This year\u2019s<\/span> inaugural Keegan Lecture Series event <\/span>focused its theme on <\/span><\/span>artificial intelligence within interior design<\/span><\/span><\/a> as well.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

New Campus Hub<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last <\/span>year<\/span>, Marymount <\/span>received a $2.8 million gift to transform Ireton Hall into the <\/span><\/span>Reinsch Pierce Family Campus Hub<\/span><\/span><\/a>. <\/span>Th<\/span>is<\/span> 6,240-square-foot facility <\/span>will<\/span> include a Barnes & Noble Bookstore and spirit shop<\/span>,<\/span> a <\/span>meeting and social<\/span> gathering space and Lola\u2019s Caf\u00e9, with a terrace overlooking campus and the Converse Family Field. <\/span>During the earlier stages of construction, the University honored the Reinsch family by dedicating the RSHM Chapel\u2019s John the <\/span>Baptist stained<\/span> glass window to recognize their generous contribution.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\"What\u2019s<\/p>\n

\u201cThe entire Marymount community will benefit enormously for decades to come thanks to this latest example of the Reinsch Pierce family\u2019s generosity,\u201d said <\/span>Dr. Irma Becerra<\/span><\/a>, President of Marymount University. \u201cMarymount cherishes its multi-generational bond with this philanthropic family. This transformational gift will significantly improve the quality of life for Marymount students and members of the community as a whole.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

A former classroom and multipurpose building, Ireton Hall dates back to the original horse stables of the historic Arlington estate built by U.S. Rear Admiral Presley Marion Rixey, Surgeon General of the U.S. Navy and personal physician to Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Marymount Pep Band<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This <\/span>f<\/span>all, Marymount <\/span>will<\/span> introduc<\/span>e<\/span> a new Pep Band<\/span> to promote school spirit <\/span>at <\/span>basketball games and school events.<\/span> Students <\/span>can<\/span> receive academic credit<\/span>, renewable throughout their time at the University,<\/span> f<\/span>rom<\/span> participation in the gr<\/span>oup or with the Chamber Singers organization.<\/span> While the Chamber Singers course focuses on performing choral works spanning from medieval times to modern day, the Pep Band will perform <\/span>different styles<\/span> of band music.<\/span> A search for an adjunct faculty director for the Pep Band is underway.<\/span><\/span> <\/span>
\n\"What\u2019s<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our goal for these courses is to introduce our students to many genres of music and interpretive styles, with the hope that they develop an appreciation for the performing arts as well as aid in their spiritual development,\u201d said <\/span>Dr. Kimberly Hess<\/span><\/a>, Chamber Singers director. \u201cThe impact may not always be immediately felt, but hopefully by planting seeds of faith during their time at Marymount, spiritual growth will take root in the future.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Chamber Singers have already performed at <\/span>various noteworthy events<\/span><\/a> that include Marymount\u2019s Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, leading the National Anthem at the National Archives Declaration of Independence Reading Ceremony and singing for the Archbishop of Washington, Cardinal Gregory. They will once again perform the National Anthem this upcoming July 4 in Washington, D.C.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Women’s Flag Football<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In a remarkable debut, Marymount\u2019s Women\u2019s Flag Football team <\/a><\/span><\/span>secured the inaugural Atlantic East Conference title<\/a> for the sport<\/span><\/span> after a 51-0 victory in the semifinal match and a commanding 52-0 win in the championship game. <\/span>Team staff prepared the roster of 16 athletes for the competition in under four weeks, instilling the sport’s fundamentals and a winning mentality.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Marymount<\/span><\/p>\n

“The best part was seeing the pure enjoyment the student-athletes were having playing their new sport, celebrating after touchdowns and clinching the championship,” said <\/span>Jill McCabe<\/span><\/a>, Vice President for Athletics, Student Wellness and Ministry.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The team is setting its sights on varsity competition in Spring 2025, with hopes of participating in the NFL\/RCX National Collegiate Tournament in May of next year.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

As Marymount looks forward to these developments, the University remains committed to creating a dynamic and supportive environment where students can thrive academically, socially and spiritually. Marymount’s future is bright, and we’re excited to continue developing new and engaging experiences for our community in 2024 and beyond. Here’s to a fantastic semester filled with learning with purpose!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
