One Word: Engagement

The University of the Incarnate Word aims to educate men and women who will become concerned and enlightened citizens within the global community during and beyond their academic career. This can be accomplished via leadership opportunities, service learning experiences and engagement in one’s global community to support and address the needs of those that are poor, sick, voiceless and in need.
