I take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Irma Becerra on being
selected to serve as the seventh president of Marymount University. This is an
exciting and historic announcement in the history of Marymount University and
Dr. Becerra will surely build upon the great work and incredible progress made
under the leadership of Dr. Matthew Shank. In my time as Bishop
of the Diocese of Arlington, I have continued to learn about
and appreciate Marymount's commitment to educating the whole person, which
Marymount appropriately recognizes in their mission as being the “intellectual,
ethical, and spiritual” needs of the individual. I look forward to working with
Dr. Becerra to ensure a stable foundation for the university's Catholic
identity and fidelity to the Magisterium, as these are hallmarks of every
authentically Catholic university and learning environment. Rooted in Our
Lord’s mercy, love and compassion, may Dr. Becerra and all of the students,
faculty and staff of Marymount University enjoy a prosperous future
now, and always.
