Dialogue with President Beth Paul

Dear students, I believe in you! As we finish this year of learning and persistence, I hope you feel accomplishment and strength as never before because you’ve been the best example to the world — Nazareth is recognized this year as one of the most resilient and caring college communities in the nation. We have put commitment to community first in protecting family, neighbor, friend, and stranger alike. During a time of struggle and loss, our community also has put our values of equity and inclusion into action — living them and spreading them .

As we kick off Graduate Student Appreciation Week, I am reflecting on how vital our graduate students are to our community, bringing a wide range of backgrounds and contributing new perspectives, life experiences, and passions for their life’s work. Graduate programs have been part of Nazareth College since the 1950s. Today, our 650 graduate students are an important part of our Nazareth community, making up about one-quarter of our student body.
