Dear Friends,
I am excited to report that Maryville University continues to lead a higher education revolution with unprecedented growth, new and innovative programs and a national awareness campaign that is trumpeting our success far and wide. And we are doing this with a profoundly student-first approach that is committed to one thing—outstanding student outcomes.
In this issue, you will explore a wide array of faculty and student achievements using cutting edge technology of today and tomorrow. You will also explore how students are owning their learning journey and shaping it to grow, mature and improve their lives and the communities in which they live. Whether it is April Huber’s use of her graphic design talents to spread the Maryville message, our diverse L.E.A.D Council making our community more inclusive or the sophisticated use of virtual and augmented reality to educate, enlighten and empower, you will experience what the nation is coming to know; Maryville is a leader in innovative education and tangible student outcomes.
You will also read about an extraordinary leader: Dan Viele. Dan has designed, shaped and lead THE model for quality online education in the United States right here at Maryville. And his story is inspiring and compelling for all who get to know this consummate professional and innovator.
In the weeks and months ahead, you will hear and explore even more growth and changes as we reshape the face of higher education. Together, faculty, staff, students and alumni will carry the message around the nation and the world that Maryville University is an innovative leader in quality education for students of all backgrounds and experiences, and that our students will shape their communities and their world with the knowledge and tools they experience at Maryville University.
Warmest wishes,
