A Higher Education I Cabrini College students lead in sports, academics, and service. nspired by St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first American citizen to become a saint, Cabrini College was founded in Radnor, Pennsylvania, in 1957. photos courtesy of cabrini college Over the college’s 55-year history, St. Frances Xavier’s order — the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus — transformed the magnificent Woodcrest Estate into a small but extraordinary liberal arts college. Throughout its history, Cabrini’s commitment to “education of the heart” has set it at the forefront of social-justice learning among colleges and universities. Nationally, Cabrini was among the first in higher education to add community service into its curriculum, and is the first in the state to require community service of all undergraduates. In 2011 Cabrini led the way nationally, announcing it would lower undergraduate tuition and fees by 12.5 percent for the 2012–13 academic year and pledging to keep tuition increases under $1,000 through May 2015. Offering more than 30 majors, the college is also known widely for academic excellence and leadership development. Cabrini welcomes learners of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds. Here, students excel both in and outside the classroom. Its powerhouse men’s basketball team missed winning the NCAA Division III championship game by just three points in March 2012. The school graduates large numbers of Pennsylvania teachers. Other top majors include communication, business, psychology, and the sciences. Academics are characterized by small classes and personal attention from highly qualified professors. And Cabrini has the numbers to show that this combination works; within ten months of graduation, 95 percent of graduates are employed or in graduate school. Co-op and internship experiences include the White House, network TV affiliates, and major biotech, pharmaceutical, and financial companies. On campus and beyond, Cabrini students and alumni live out the college’s tagline: “Do something extraordinary.” Below: science students; studentathlete Jon Miller; recent graduate James Calamia, operations manager at Roxborough Development Corporation 610 king of prussia road philadelphia, pa 610.902.8100 cabrini.edu Generosity Well Spent The Philadelphia Foundation serves as a bridge between people who care and causes that matter. usairwaysmag.com march 2013 127 http://www.cabrini.edu http://www.cabrini.edu http://www.usairwaysmag.com
