Office of the President

From the President

A brief conversation with Father Steve as he shares more about himself, key initiatives underway and his gratitude for the Seattle University community.

Having previously served as Seattle University’s president for 24 years and, more recently, as chancellor, this university holds a special place in my heart. As interim president, my focus will be forward-looking. My responsibility is to help ensure that Seattle University and the major initiatives already underway are on a strong path and well positioned for the next president to carry forward. This period calls for active stewardship, not new direction or change, and my intention is to support and advance what is already in motion.

To our students, know that you are the center of our mission. To our faculty, staff, alumni and friends, thank you for all you do for Seattle University and our students. I look forward to working together with you and supporting you during this time as we build on the university’s great momentum and prepare to welcome a new leader.

Stephen V. Sundborg, S.J.
President
