effective messenger for the myriad voices of its membership. At Albertus Magnus,
we educate a diverse student body that mirrors the changing demographics of our nation,

private colleges in advocating for shared priorities, such as the Pell Grant and Federal
Work Study programs,” said Dr. Camille.

institutions and associations. It is one of six major presidential higher education
