EMPOWERING THE UNDERREPRSENTED
 “Our mission at Holy Names University is to liberate minds and transform lives. We empower those who are most in need and most underrepresented and allow them to earn an education that will transform the world. We instill in our students that the value they bring to others is critical to who they are,” says Sister Rosemarie Nassif, SSND.
Sister Rosemarie began her ministry as president of Holy Names University in Oakland, California, seven years ago. Prior to joining Holy Names University, Sister Rosemarie had served in various leadership roles, including ministering as president of the College of Notre Dame of Maryland and as president of The Fund for Education Excellence in Baltimore.
