President's Welcome
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
