 | | | The Lewis of Tomorrow Begins With YouA college degree today means more than it ever has. Exponential increases in knowledge, economic volatility, and a highly competitive job market demand graduates with critical thinking skills, relevant knowledge, stron g values, and the ability to successfully interact with people from diverse backgrounds. Lewis University graduates are prepared to meet these demands. A Lewis education is grounded in challenging academic training within a compassionate environment. Our students understand how Lewis teachers touch both hearts and minds. They know that faculty at Lewis do not just teach, they care. Small classes foster close relationships between teacher and student and encourage hands-on learning, both hallmarks of a Lewis education.  Since our beginnings as a technical school in 1932, Lewis has been on a transformational journey. Today, with an enrollment of nearly 6,000, Lewis is prepared to take the next step in our aspiration to become one of the finest mid-sized Catholic universities in the Midwest.
This goal is well within our reach. The way forward requires a shared vision and the collective hearts, minds, and resources of the entire Lewis community. We hope you will join us in the next phase of our journey. Together, we can shape a University that will touch the hearts and minds of generations yet to come.

| This very dramatic 80,000 square foot addition and enhancement to the existing Science Building will integrate new laboratories, spaces for undergraduate research, as well as gathering spaces that foster collaborative learning and greater faculty-student interaction. |
| One of the most highly-used buildings on campus and home of the Phillip Lynch Theatre, Lewis’ largest auditorium and meeting space, the Oremus Fine Arts Center hosts hundreds of student performances, concerts, community events and lectures each year and is visited by more than 28,000 patrons from surrounding communities. |
