The Founders' Week tradition, as we know it today, was inaugurated in 2008 by President Sister Linda Bevilacqua, OP, PhD to serve as an opportunity to celebrate Barry's history, Catholic identity and Adrian Dominican foundation.
Through scholarly and fun events, we highlight the University community's faithfulness to Barry's identity, Mission and Core Commitments.
