Benedictine University Announces Partnership with Des Moines University to Expand Healthcare Career Opportunities for Students Benedictine University (BenU) is proud to announce a new collaboration with Des Moines University (DMU) to provide its students with a direct pathway to successful careers in medicine and health sciences. "Benedictine University is thrilled to join forces with Des Moines University to enhance our students' opportunities in medical and health sciences careers," states Joseph Foy, PhD, president of Benedictine University. "This collaboration underscores our dedication to academic excellence and creating pathways for students to reach their academic and professional aspirations. With guaranteed interview slots, concurrent degree options, and reserved seats in DMU's esteemed programs, we are providing our students with the skills and chances they need to become future healthcare leaders." This strategic partnership offers a multitude of benefits for BenU students, including: Guaranteed Interview Opportunities: Qualified BenU graduates will be guaranteed interviews for admission into several of DMU’s prestigious programs, including Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), and more. Streamlined Degree Options: The agreement facilitates the pursuit of concurrent degrees, allowing BenU students to earn their undergraduate degree while beginning coursework relevant to their chosen DMU graduate program. Priority Admission Consideration: A designated number of seats will be reserved for BenU graduates in DMU’s Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) and Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OT) programs. This collaboration aligns with BenU’s mission to empower students from all backgrounds to pursue their passions and serve their communities. Like DMU, BenU places a strong emphasis on increasing diversity within the healthcare workforce. The University’s Master of Science in Integrative Physiology program is specifically designed to address this critical need by creating opportunities for underrepresented minorities in healthcare professions. “Through this innovative partnership, BenU students will gain a significant advantage in their pursuit of healthcare careers,” concluded Dr. Foy. “We are confident that this alliance will produce future generations of compassionate and skilled healthcare leaders.”

Benedictine University Announces Restructuring Amidst Higher Education Challenges Benedictine University is proactively addressing the unprecedented challenges facing higher education with a series of strategic adjustments designed to adapt to the evolving landscape and secure the future of the institution. As President Joseph J. Foy completes his first year, his vision emphasizes adaptation, resilience, and growth. "Facing these challenges head-on, Benedictine University is committed to embracing the future with optimism and resilience," said Dr. Joseph J. Foy, President of Benedictine University. "Our institution must adapt and evolve to thrive in a rapidly changing educational sector and meet emerging needs." Over the past several months, Benedictine University has engaged in intensive planning and collaboration among the Board of Trustees, the faculty and staff governance committees, and the wider community. While the full strategic plan will be finalized and unveiled in late fall, preliminary steps have been taken to ensure the university's long-term health and stability. As part of these necessary adjustments, Benedictine University has made the difficult decision to restructure, resulting in a reduction of force impacting 40 employees. “This decision was not made lightly, and we deeply feel the loss of these wonderful colleagues," Dr. Foy said. "This is going to be an adjustment for our community, but we are taking the proactive steps necessary to reposition today so as not to face more significant and potentially insurmountable challenges tomorrow.” Key preliminary initiatives of the forthcoming strategic plan include: Enhancing Academic Excellence: Initiatives to promote academic innovation and excellence across all disciplines. Expanding Access to Opportunities: Programs designed to increase accessibility and inclusivity for a diverse student body. Ensuring Financial Stability: Measures to secure the financial health of the university and support sustainable growth. Deepening Community Engagement: Efforts to strengthen the bonds between, and meet the needs of, the university and the broader community. "We are navigating this period with the seriousness it deserves, honoring our legacy while addressing the real and pressing challenges facing higher education," Dr. Foy emphasized. "We are committed to fostering an environment where our students can excel and our community can flourish." In the coming months, Benedictine University will unveil its new strategic plan and the transformative impact it is expected to have.

Authenticity: The Key Ingredient for Effective Evangelization How we communicate the Good News of our faith can sometimes be just as important as the news itself. Do we need to flaunt our meatless Fridays, catechetical dogmas, or moral teachings in people's faces in order to evangelize well? Do we need to hide and abandon our desks, classrooms, and offices in order to create some safe and protected Catholic utopia? The answer to both of these questions is, of course, no! All we need to do is live as the early Christians were taught - to "live in the world, but not be of the world." In a word: to live authentic lives and let our love and joy speak for itself! Come and join Fr. Nathan Ford, SJC on Tuesday, May 14th at Benedictine University for YCP's monthly speaker series and explore what authentic evangelism looks like! Registration is required.
