A message from the President
A look ahead
It is a pleasure to share the spring edition of Barry Magazine with all of you. As we embark on a new era of higher education, I spend much of my time thinking about our exciting future and charting our path forward. Toward that end, we are well into the process of producing a strategic plan for Barry University. As part of this effort, we have engaged our campus community, trustees, and alumni to formulate a clear vision for the future.

Prayer for Barry University Alumni
THE LORD BE WITH YOU:
“We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to God’s purpose.” Romans 8:28
Come Holy Spirit, saturate us with your love. Help us to go forth into the world with a strong sense of what is good and true. As with the birth of spring and new life may we each be fresh creations each day reflecting the glory of our Creator.
May we remember the days we spent at Barry University as times of building a sense of integrity and courage to face any challenges we meet with dignity and grace.
During times of uncertainty, help us to discern our part in creating a healthy environment for one another.
May we not regret the past or be anxious over the future, but live now in the present moment with faith and hope.
We pray for those we love that they may experience an abundance of grace and blessings in their lives. Our prayers are for all humanity, made in the image of the divine, that all live in the light and knowledge of truth.
In the name of the One who shared with us to love one another as He loves us. Amen
