No college or university in the world looks, acts, serves or inspires like the University of the Incarnate Word.
Ours is an extraordinary community of faith and education quite unlike any other. We follow in the footsteps of visionary women religious – the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, who through faith and dedication to their community answered a call and changed San Antonio forever. We are committed to contributing to their legacy and to being changemakers – as an institution and via our 40,000 alumni all over the world.
Our students' journeys and whole-person development is at the heart of everything we do. Through transformative education, rooted in our Mission and in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, UIW prepares students from all corners of the world and with every professional aspiration to become the type of leader who will use their education to serve others and the greater good. Whether as healthcare professionals, educators, business leaders, scientists, creatives, or digital innovators, UIW graduates are known throughout the region to be exceptional professionals that work to create positive change, push their professions forward and advance industry and the region.
I invite you to learn more about our exceptional University and how we are moving forward, strategically and effectively, to ensure we continue to be the Word in the world, for generations to come.
Praised be the Incarnate Word!
Dr. Thomas M. Evans
Enriched with the wisdom gained from the challenges and changes of the previous year, the UIW community moved forward in 2021 making significant advancements toward our goals. From infrastructure improvements, to new academic offerings, to a stellar athletics season, exciting progress was felt across the University.
As always, UIW remains driven by our Mission and united by our shared values. With those as our guides, our university community remains rooted in our great purpose and focused on the future our students will inherit.
Whether it is the purchase of additional buildings at our Brooks campus, establishing Founders Hall, uniting academic programs and opportunities across campuses, strengthening our ties to other ministries of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, we are making significant advancements toward our strategic plans.
Guided by our vision and our eight strategic priorities, we are building on our legacy of excellence in Catholic higher education that began more than 135 years ago by realizing our vision for a new century.
UIW has grown and changed much since its founding more than 100 years ago, yet our heritage and our Mission remains at the heart of all that we do. They will continue to guide us as we look to the future and prepare the next generation of students to be the Word in the world.
