Hi, I’m Little Frank, your college guide—I help students navigate their college journey and understand our Catholic faith and Franciscan values.
Here at Marian, we cherish the dignity of every individual, creating a community where each person is respected, valued, and celebrated for their talents. Guided by the principles of peace and justice, we are committed to promoting equality, compassion, and understanding in all aspects of campus life. Through reconciliation, we strive to heal and build bridges of support among our community. As stewards of our planet and its resources, we embrace responsible stewardship, caring for the environment, and promoting sustainable practices that ensure a thriving future for future generations.
I value the space Marian provides for me and other students to discover our most authentic selves. If it wasn't for the small class sizes, the intentional professors, and the many leadership opportunities I would not have discovered where I feel most alive.
