Why Stritch?
"There are MANY reasons why Stritch is a great place to be. Like a microcosm of the world in which we live, it is diverse. It embodies the Christian / Franciscan heritage and values, while also being open to all. It is a place that makes learning exciting and fun. Stritch's faculty, staff and students show sincere care and concern for one another. At a time when safety is a big concern, Stritch is a safe place to study, learn, and live. Because of our relatively small size, faculty and students get to know one another. This helps the learning process and creates an atmosphere where respect and learning can thrive. I could go on and on, but the only way to know "why Stritch" is to come and learn for yourself. Welcome!"
