March 17, 2023
In November 2022, Rockhurst University etched a new chapter in its history, inaugurated its first lay, first female president, Sandra Cassady, Ph.D. In honor of Women’s History Month, we asked Cassady about her experience as a female leader and history maker in her own right. Who have been some of the female leaders you looked up to in your career — either those you personally knew or who were examples from your own life? Starting as a young girl, my mother was in the workforce. It wasn't a constant thing in our family, but she periodically would have a job...

Hydroponics Grow Room Contributes to the Caf and Sustainability
June 15, 2022
There was a unique addition to the Thomas More Dining Hall that may have caught your eye this year. Renovations to the dining hall during the summer of 2021 brought with it the introduction of a hydroponics grow room offering an alternative to soil gardening. Hydroponic gardens produce more plants quickly with less space and less water than soil gardening. This system utilizes nutrient-rich water and recycled soda bottles as a mesh-type medium that serves as the soil alternative to support the roots of the plants in grow towers.

University Dedicates “Transformed” Sedgwick Hall
June 3, 2022
Sedgwick Hall is a milestone – started in 1910, the members of the Society of Jesus who founded the University had to wait until 1914 to complete the project. Despite that initial delay, the building has stood tall ever since. Its use over the years reflects its status as both a milestone and a workhorse, serving as a residence for...
