Giving the Gift of Yourself

St. Thomas of Villanova, as Archbishop of Valencia, lived a life committed to service to the poor and marginalized. He developed social programs that provided food and clothing to those in need. Through his efforts, shelter was made available to orphans and dowries were provided to young women, so that both could live in dignity. Thomas emphasized that "justice and love are the guiding rules of virtue and learning."

For more that 150 years, the Villanova University family has shared the adventure of learning in the Augustinian tradition, gathering the wealth of wisdom and learning - treasures of the mind. In all things, we seek to imitate Saint Thomas, "recognizing that like love itself, what we have learned together is a gift which we possess never so much as when we give it away."

Villanova University offers its students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends a wide variety of opportunities for service. To contribute your own time and talent to the less fortunate, check out service opportunities at Villanova with Volunteering and Campus Ministry.

Transforming Minds and Hearts: The Campaign for Villanova offers opportunities for annual giving to support ongoing operations at the University. Confident in its future, Villanova University is ever mindful of its commitment to building on the traditions it cherishes most – faith, learning, and community. These traditions keep the Villanova experience always fresh and always transformational. Now, at the beginning of a new century, Villanovans are ready to use these values and traditions to make a difference in the world.

Help Villanova to realize its vision to be recognized as one of the nation’s leading Catholic universities by virtue of the vibrancy, effectiveness, and distinctiveness of the undergraduate education it offers, the quality and impact of its graduate programs, and the excellence of its faculty.
