Adrian Dominican Institute for Mission and Leadership

Mission and Student Engagement

About the Institute

With the retirement of Barry’s sixth president, Sister Linda Bevilacqua, OP, PhD, in June 2019, the Barry University Board of Trustees created “The Adrian Dominican Institute for Mission and Leadership” in her honor and her five predecessors:

The Dominican Sisters of Adrian, Michigan (the “Adrian Dominicans”) founded Barry College for Women in 1940. In 1975, by action of the Board of Trustees, Barry became fully a co-educational institution, and in 1981 Barry became a university.
