INCLUSION IS IN OUR DNA... One Woods

“We are all united under one true blue flag!”

Our legacy of inclusion began with our foundress, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, a French immigrant who understood the value of belonging. She embraced the opportunity to teach girls at a time when only boys received an education. Then, in the 1960s, we saw young mothers drop out of college to focus on their families and created our distance program that morphed into today’s online program. That program has made college flexible and possible for thousands of students. The culture of educating through inclusion continues today through connections and conversations with campus groups and programs.

“It just instantly felt like home. It’s truly different than any other college I toured or visited or was admitted to. I’ve met people from across the country, from across the world, all brought here by the same thing, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin and our beautiful College. There are just these invisible strings that all tie back to The Woods and the people you meet here.”

“I had that Avenue Moment when I was about 10 years old and I knew I wanted to come here. Being in the SMTG (Saint Mother Theodore Guerin) Scholarship cohort and my Exercise Science cohort they are both really supportive and we’re always making sure that everyone is accounted for and getting the education that they need.”

“I just thought. Okay, I’m going to go there. It’s just meant to be. I think I will always associate personal growth with this school because I’ve gone through so much of it while I’ve been here.”

“What brought me to The Woods was that special connection to the faculty. They made sure to let me know that they wanted me here. I really like the family connection that I have with the faculty here.”

“I quickly realized that everyone here was so willing to help me succeed and wanted me to succeed. Not only the faculty but also my peers. I’ve never been in a place where the students weren’t competing against each other, but just wanting everyone to do their best.”
