About Cardinal Stritch University

The Stritch story
We all have a story, and every day creates a new page. Stritch's story is integrated with more than 38,000 others - the stories of our alumni who are positively impacting the communities in which they live, work, serve and lead.
And it all started with the story of one man from Italy - St. Francis of Assisi.

Celebrating 85 years
