Message from the President

Forging Our Future

AT BARRY, we work diligently each day to transform lives and foster a community of individuals committed to drawing upon their unique skills and talents to make the world a better, more just place. Lately, we have been focusing a great deal on what that looks like in the future—on ways to ensure the growth and prosperity of our beloved institution as we forge ahead in realizing our mission.

Our strategic enrollment planning process has been ongoing since early 2020, and we have made some exciting strides as an institution. Already, we have seen the implementation of several initiatives to enhance the student experience, from the expansion of first-year programs, student employment, and support for students as they navigate their financial relationship with the university, to investments in academic programs with high growth potential. Beyond that, we have taken a close look at all our programs and the alignment of our Schools and Colleges to design them in a way that promotes synergy and ultimately prepares our students for the ever-changing workforce.

This past May, we also marshaled in a new era with respect to how we celebrate the achievements of our graduates. It was wonderful to host a weekend full of graduation events, welcoming graduates and their guests both to our institutional commencement ceremony at loanDepot park, home of the Marlins, and also to campus to send them off in a personal and meaningful way.

This is an exciting time at Barry University, as we continue to carry our Mission and our Core Commitments forward and shape what our future holds. We are very proud that so many of our talented alumni have joined us in staying connected to Barry and supporting future generations of Buccaneers. While much is changing, we are steadfast in our ideals, in our core commitments, and in maintaining all that makes Barry so special.

I look forward to many great things to come and to continuing on this journey with all of you.

Sincerely,

Mike Allen, Ph.D.
President.
