When Rockhurst University last updated its vision statement, one very specific word was included — “transformative.”

It’s a term University leaders use often, and one that alumni evoke when describing what their education meant to them.

It’s also a fairly apt description of “For the Greater,” the fundraising campaign underway now that will pave the way to the University’s future. The $55 million campaign’s name echoes the Jesuit motto represented by the initials AMDG, “ad majorem Dei gloriam,” or “for the greater glory of God.”

As it stands, the University is approximately 96% of the way toward that goal, and alumni and friends are invited to be part of this historic opportunity by supporting the campaign.
 

At the center of “For the Greater” is the reimagining of Sedgwick Hall, with the cornerstone of our campus becoming the home of Saint Luke’s College of Health Sciences at Rockhurst University after an extensive renovation that will add a state-of-the-art simulation lab, new learning spaces for the University’s health care programs, and a new glass façade on the side facing the Kinerk Commons, all while preserving 90% of the historic building’s construction. A new AR iOS mobile app helps users visualize Sedgwick’s “before and after.”

But “For the Greater” is much more than the renovation of a single building. It has already resulted in the construction of the MAC and the renovation of Town House Village, and the campaign also seeks to support the annual fund and endowment, bolstering efforts to serve the University’s students for years to come.
