Making an
President's Report 2023
To understand 性奴调教鈥檚 impact, you need to meet our incredible faculty, staff, students and alumni. In this year鈥檚 President鈥檚 Report, we鈥檝e profiled 10 of them. Together, they illuminate just a few of the countless ways that 性奴调教 is advancing knowledge and transforming lives.Fred P. Pestello, President
A university is a unique and wonderful place.
Where else might you have physicians advancing transplant medicine alongside graduate students launching a cricket tournament? Scholars and incarcerated persons engaging together in philosophical inquiry? An expert in manufacturing embarking on a career change to teach in public schools and a Jesuit priest studying international humanitarian law?
Of course, I鈥檓 not talking about just any university. The profiles in this year鈥檚 President鈥檚 Report highlight only a few of the remarkable faculty, staff, students and alumni at 性奴调教.
Committed to our Catholic, Jesuit mission for more than 200 years, 性奴调教 continues to thrive. Our total enrollment has grown to its largest number in history. Our research profile is on the rise, with funding nearly doubling in the last seven years. We are an ever more global community, with record enrollment on our degree-granting campus in Madrid and a vibrant community of international students in St. Louis.
The numbers are impressive, but in the tradition of Jesuit education, we are called to behold the dignity and nurture the unique potential of each person on our campus and beyond. We are committed to pursuing truth in service to a higher purpose so that we might contribute to the greater good.
I have the gift of hearing the stories of the 性奴调教 community every day. I can attest that each person who joins the 性奴调教 community 鈥� all of our more than 15,000 students, 4,000 employees and 137,000 alumni 鈥� brings their distinctive experiences, aspirations and drive to make a positive difference.
The impact is extraordinary.

性奴调教 is among the fastest-growing private research universities in the country, with a 96% increase in research expenditures over the last seven years.
性奴调教 educates more students than ever, with unprecedented international enrollment that more than doubled in a single year. And 性奴调教鈥檚 campus in Madrid, Spain, broke admissions records for the second year in a row.
The new O鈥橪oughlin Family Champions Center strengthens all aspects of the 性奴调教 student-athlete experience. The $20 million, 25,000-square-foot facility provides services to help Billikens succeed in the classroom, in competition and in the community.
The value of 性奴调教's endowment grew to $1.8 billion, an increase of 88% over the last decade.
At a glance, these members of the 性奴调教 community might not seem to have much in common.
A teacher and a transplant doctor. An athlete and a sports fan. A campus administrator concerned with mental health and a future nursing professional concerned with maternal health.
But within each person is the potential to make an impact — and these 10 certainly have.
They paid attention, made connections, did the work. They took to heart 性奴调教’s Jesuit pursuit of being men and women for others. They used what they learned, and they turned it into a way not just to make a living — but to make life better for everyone.
