BENEDICTINE UNIVERSITY

Benedictine University was founded by the Benedictine monks of St. Procopius Abbey in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago in 1887. The Benedictine Order bears the name of St. Benedict, born in 480, who is acknowledged as the father of western monasticism. In 528, he established the famed monastery of Monte Cassino... Benedictine University is a dynamic institution with a diverse and engaged community of students, faculty, staff and alumni... At Benedictine University, we talk about "The Red Thread" as a metaphor for the uniqueness of our institution and community. The Red Thread ties us all together as a family, stitches together our collective experiences and cultures for the greater good. It connects us through inspirational, academic, professional and social interactions. And it continues to embroider our mission and transformational values since 1887. We invite you to take hold of The Red Thread of Benedictine University and together, we will create a vibrant future.
