IT IS OBVIOUS THAT BENEDICTINE COLLEGE IS ATTRACTING BOTH MORE STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST. OVER 80% OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS LIVE ON CAMPUS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COLLEGE'S STRONG RESIDENTIAL TRADITION. TO KEEP UP WITH ITS GROWTH, BENEDICTINE COLLEGE HAS OPENED 11 NEW RESIDENCE HALLS SINCE THE YEAR 2000. LAST YEAR, THE COLLEGE OPENED THE MURPHY RECREATION CENTER, A NEW HEALTH AND FITNESS FACILITY WITH EXERCISE MACHINES, ROOMS FOR FITNESS AND SPINNING CLASSES, TWO BASKETBALL COURTS, AND AN INDOOR TURFED FIELD. IN ADDITION, RENOVATION AND EXPANSION OF THE DINING HALL WAS COMPLETED LAST YEAR AND A NEW STUDENT SUCCESS CENTER WAS BUILT. A NEW BASEBALL STADIUM AND A NEW SOFTBALL FACILITY OPENED A YEAR AGO. NATIONAL SURVEYS PLACE BENEDICTINE'S STUDENT LIFE PROGRAM HIGHEST IN OVERALL RESIDENT SATISFACTION AND BENEDICTINE COLLEGE'S RETENTION RATE IS CONSISTENTLY ABOVE 90%.

IN THE AREA OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, BENEDICTINE IS NOW ONE OF THE FEW CATHOLIC COLLEGES IN THE NATION OFFERING ABETACCREDITED PROGRAMS IN CHEMICAL, CIVIL, ELECTRICAL, AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND IS THE ONLY CATHOLIC COLLEGE TO OFFER BOTH ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE DEGREES. ALSO, SEVERAL NEW MAJORS HAVE BEEN ADDED IN RECENT YEARS, INCLUDING ART, CRIMINOLOGY, ENGINEERING PHYSICS, FINANCE, INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS, INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, EVANGELIZATION & CATECHESIS AND NURSING. THE COLLEGE HAS NOW GRADUATED THE FIRST FIVE CLASSES OF BENEDICTINE ENGINEERS AND NURSES.

A RECENT ENTHRONEMENT OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS STATUE IN THE HEART OF CAMPUS WAS A HIGHLIGHT OF THE FALL. THE 2004 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER, WANGARI MAATHAI, A 1964 GRADUATE, WAS ALSO REMEMBERED WITH A STATUE IN ST. SCHOLASTICA PLAZA. THE BENEDICTINE MONKS AND SISTERS WHO BRAVED THE AMERICAN FRONTIER OF THE MIDDLE 1800S WOULD BE PROUD OF THE INSTITUTION THAT STILL REPRESENTS THEIR VISION OF COMMUNITY, FAITH AND SCHOLARSHIP IN SUCH AN OUSTANDING WAY.
