Focus on Faculty
2012
Message from the President
This book celebrates the scholarship, service and excellence of our
faculty at Bellarmine University.
Our students, of course, are always our primary focus – the very heart
of our mission. But in addition to their commitment to high-quality
instruction and personal attention to students, our faculty also devote
themselves to many pursuits beyond the classroom. Whether those
pursuits involve conducting research, making presentations at scholarly
conferences, publishing in journals and books, leading study-abroad
courses or service-learning trips or creating art, our faculty’s significant
accomplishments bring recognition to Bellarmine University and are
worthy of celebration.
Bellarmine University’s Strategic Plan identifies the following goals in
pursuit of Vision 2020:
• Celebrate our Catholic Identity in the inclusive Merton spirit as the
Foundation to our commitment to student fulfillment and global
consciousness.
• Establish and sustain a climate of excellence throughout the university.
• Integrate an international focus and sensibility into all curricular and
co-curricular programs.
• Create a sustainable future for our region, nation, and world through
an abiding respect for nature, through interdisciplinary environmental
education, and through moral leadership grounded in our Catholic
heritage.
• Enhance our reputation, expand our market, and dramatically grow
our enrollment.
• Develop our financial, physical, and human resources to the level
required to achieve our vision for the new Bellarmine University.
This book is organized around these goals, which are integral and
central to our work at Bellarmine.
The achievements listed in these pages represent research and service
completed in the 2012 calendar year and underscore our commitment
to being the premier Catholic university in the South, and thereby the
leading private institution in the Commonwealth and region. Please join
me in congratulating and thanking our faculty for the tremendous
successes outlined in this book.
In veritatis amore,
Dr. Joseph J. McGowan
