Respecting Differences Is A Non-Negotiable, Moral Imperative, John J. Petillo

Fear and ignorance are blissful companions when it comes to intolerance. It assumes innumerable forms. Sometimes it is blatant and obvious. But oftentimes its posture is ambiguous, disingenuous or lacking overt hostility.
The Value Of A Four-Year Degree Is Increasing, John J. Petillo
The Value Of A Four-Year Degree Is Increasing, John J. Petillo
SHU Faculty Publications
The value of a four-year college degree has never been greater. This is particularly true for graduates in comparison to their peers who have lower levels of education.
The globalized job market is hyper-competitive, and a four-year degree is increasingly a base requirement that’s necessary just to get your foot in the door for an interview. Millennials recognize this reality since a third of them hold at least a bachelor’s degree. This makes them the best-educated generation in history.
A college education enriches not only the person who receives it, but society overall. We must never forget that an informed …
Lessons From Pope Francis In Managing A University, John J. Petillo
Lessons From Pope Francis In Managing A University, John J. Petillo
SHU Faculty Publications
Pope Francis is trending as the model for transforming corporate cultures through humble leadership. As a Roman Catholic University, Sacred Heart is perhaps more attuned than most colleges to what might be called "The Management Secrets of Pope Francis," but they can be applied to institutions of higher learning anywhere. Whether administrators, faculty or staff, we are here because of the students. It is imperative that we consider their interests in everything we do. Like Pope Francis, we must shed the trappings of our titles and serve.

Developing Leaders, Not Followers, John J. Petillo
SHU Faculty Publications
Many higher education institutions are attempting to discover ways to create that elusive balance required for young people to become self-reflective, highly prepared leaders in the world we know today.

Getting Our Priorities Straight In Higher Education, John J. Petillo

Higher education is not just about the schools. It is about the individuals and what society needs to flourish, prosper and grow.

The Process Of General Education Reform: An Impossible Dream ... Almost!, Thomas D. Curran, David F. Curtis, Frances S. Grodzinsky
SHU Faculty Publications
The simplest explanation for why Sacred Heart University began a review for creating a new general education curriculum is that the last university strategic plan (1989-94) called for it and a faculty survey showed strong support for it.

Let's Not Forget The Students, Thomas Patrick Melady
SHU Faculty Publications
As a university president, I sense a serious danger in higher education today. We administrators are failing to measure up to our responsibilities because in our well-meaning but time-consuming efforts to achieve fiscal stability, we are losing sight of the human equation in the university experience. We are failing to spend the time to nurture meaningful relationships with students. This strikes at the heart of our responsibilities, and I believe that this problem merits our immediate attention.
