Trainor ’83 Inaugurated as Mount St. Mary’s 26th President

Mount St. Mary’s University celebrated the inauguration of its 26th president, Timothy E. Trainor, Ph.D. More than 1,000 students, faculty, staff, alumni and distinguished guests gathered in Knott Arena, PNC Sports Complex for the installation ceremony and Trainor's inaugural address, which focused on the theme of preparing students to lead lives of significance. Trainor broadcasted the message that Mount St. Mary’s is poised to build on that proud history. “The most significant history regarding the Mount is yet to be written; it will be that created by our current and future students and seminarians. And we will prepare them to do so by carrying out our new mission statement,” Trainor said. The mission statement, approved by the Board of Trustees earlier this month as part of a strategic plan, states: “As a Catholic university, Mount St. Mary’s graduates ethical leaders who are inspired by a passion for learning and lead lives of significance in service to God.” Full Story»
