Wheeling Jesuit envisions a dynamic leadership role for the University in the lives of its students and in the world at large.
SERVICE WITH AND AMONG OTHERS

Wheeling Jesuit University firmly believes its graduates will enter the professional world prepared to use their God-given talents not solely for personal fulfillment but as men and women in service to others.
