ESPIRITUS NOVA

THE CAMPAIGN FOR VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY

Espiritus Nova: The Campaign for Villanova University reflects the strong, generous and unshakeable spirit that connects us all as Villanovans. It’s the passion in our hearts, the warmth of our love, the strength of our Augustinian Catholic values and the generosity of our actions — encompassed in two powerful words. Espiritus Nova is more than a name. It’s a feeling and sense of community that every Villanovan truly understands.
