On behalf of the faculty, staff and administrators, I want to welcome you to Saint Martin's University. You are joining a community of faculty and staff that are dedicated to helping you achieve your academic and professional goals.

Saint Martin's University is strongly influenced by the spirit of the Benedictine monks who established the institution more than a hundred years ago and who have established a warm and caring community at the University. You will work closely with faculty, staff and students on a continuing basis. Education at Saint Martin’s not only takes place in the classroom, it also takes place in countless other ways -- by participation in curricular and co-curricular activities, informal conversations with faculty and fellow students, the athletic program and intramural sports program, residence hall activities, and interaction with a diverse student body from all parts of the world.

Saint Martin's University provides a unique educational experience. You are joining a community of teachers and scholars who are respectful of different peoples and cultures. You will be encouraged to examine your values and understand diverse viewpoints as a student at the university.

We believe that this environment enriches the college experience. You will grow and develop as a person at the university.

If I can be of assistance to you, please feel free to contact me at the office. We are here to try to serve your needs and interests.

Sincerely yours,

Richard L. Langill, Ph.D.
Interim Vice-President for Academic Affairs
