FROM THE PRESIDENT

The 26th Street project is the most significant construction effort Marymount University has undertaken in four decades. This project could not have become a reality without the cooperation and collaboration of many in the wider community. As the construction moves forward, Marymount University will continue to bear in mind its responsibility to be a good citizen and good neighbor. We are committed to keeping the community informed and responding quickly to any issues that may arise. This Web site has been established to help keep the lines of communication open. We hope that our friends and neighbors will visit it often, to see project updates and to use the contact information listed here if questions or concerns should arise.
