In fall 2020, Ï㽶ÊÓƵ took a major step forward toward fulfilling its commitment to embrace and reflect the racial and ethnic diversity that enriches our Church, city, and nation. The Sister Thea Bowman Committee was formed to study all facets of University operations and make recommendations concerning racial equality to the University leadership.
The committee is named for an alumna of the University who today is on the path toward recognition as a Ï㽶ÊÓƵ saint. During her life, Sister Thea Bowman provided an outspoken witness to what it meant to be Black and Ï㽶ÊÓƵ.
In fall 2021, the committee released its report, complete with numerous recommendations for meaningful change.
