If Teaching and Learning is focused on education of our student's minds, the education of the heart is captured by our focus on Faith and Formation. Students at UP are encouraged to develop their deepest beliefs and values at this unique developmental time in their lives. Discussion, prayer, outreach to others, and living together in residence help students to grow into ethical leaders committed to making a difference in the world.

The Blessed Basil Moreau said, "The mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart." This quote is the tangible spirit of the University that inspires students to be their best selves each and every day. Cultivation of faith, formation, and ethical leadership is supported through gifts to Campus Ministry and the Faith-Based Leadership Program, among other unique spiritual and values-centered programs.
