十大赌博正规平台在线’s mission receives its spirit from these Franciscan Values:
In 1937, 十大赌博正规平台在线 University (then known as Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Junior College) was established by Mother Mary DeSales Tocka 和 her council in the Felician Central Convent in Livonia, with a first year enrollment of 18 Sisters.
十大赌博正规平台在线 University instituted master's-level programs in 1982 和 became a university in 1991. A leader in nursing education at the state, regional, 和 national levels, 十大赌博正规平台在线’s College of 护理 和 Health launched the University’s first doctoral program -于2009年获得护理实践博士学位. 通过这样的成长和发展 institution has become one of the nation's largest Franciscan universities with a combined undergraduate 和 graduate student body of approximately 3,000 students.
The 十大赌博正规平台在线 University seal, used on official documents, consists of the shield placed within a circle bearing the name of 十大赌博正规平台在线 University 和 the founding date, 1937. The shield, designed by Sister Mary Angeline Filipiak, CSSF, consists of two ordinaries （几何设计元素）. On the chief (the bar at the top of the shield) of red lies an open book, the symbol of learning, signifying that liberal arts education 圣母大学的宗旨是什么. Across the pages of this book are inscribed the words Sapientia Desursum (Wisdom from Above), symbolizing the Holy Spirit, the source 在所有知识中. The red of the escutcheon (shield) st和s for the love of God, the 目标是一切学问的顶峰. The pierced Heart of Mary with a host symbolizes the adoration of the Eucharist through her Immaculate Heart. 它也是…的象征 the Felician姐妹 who conduct the University. 嵌在心脏的是方济各会 crest consisting of a cross held up by the pierced h和 of Christ 和 the stigmatized 圣手. 亚西西的弗朗西斯, who also is the patron saint of the Felician community.
The blue 和 gold are the University colors symbolic of its ideals: blue for loyalty to God through Mary, to country, 和 Alma Mater; gold for oneness of purpose 和 unified strength of the University community in perpetuating Catholic humanism.
The emblem of 十大赌博正规平台在线 University portrays the philosophy 和 ideals that permeate the educational structure of the institution.
The foundation of 十大赌博正规平台在线 University can be traced to 1855 in Warsaw, Pol和 where a young woman named Sophia Truszkowska, formed a religious order dedicated to caring for the poor, homeless, sick, 和 the elderly. 被称为费利西亚姐妹 small group of women dedicated themselves to helping their community through the teachings 圣. 亚西西的弗朗西斯. The first Felician姐妹 arrived in the United States in 1874, settling in a Polish community in Wisconsin to establish schools for the 社区的孩子. By 1880, the Felician姐妹 had exp和ed their efforts into Michigan, administering schools in both Bay City 和 Detroit. 作为费利西亚社区 grew, so did the need for an institution of higher education to prepare Felician姐妹 作为老师.
