Hilltop Welcome

Welcome to the 2024–2025 academic year at St. Edward’s University! It is a joy to see our vibrant community come together once again. To the Class of 2028 and new members of the hilltop familia, a heartfelt welcome to this special place we call home.

This year is particularly special as we celebrate our 140th anniversary. Our history is rich, and our commitment to our mission and to appreciating and supporting one another remains steadfast.

I look forward to the exciting journey ahead, being with you and sharing in the achievements and milestones we will accomplish together. 

Toppers always Up!
