®
Marian University grew out of the dedication and vision of Sister Theresa Hackelmeier and the
Sisters of St. Francis, Oldenburg, Indiana, who established a school in Oldenburg, Indiana, in 1851.
After a number of transformations, the school became Marian College in 1936. The college moved
to Indianapolis in 1937 and classes began on September 15 in Allison Mansion.
On July 1, 2009, Marian College became Marian University. On May 4, 2011, Marian University
received pre-accreditation status for a new medical school. On August 24, 2011, the university broke
ground on the Michael A. Evans Center for Health Sciences that houses the Marian University College
of Osteopathic Medicine and the Leighton School of Nursing. On August 6, 2013, Marian University
held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception for the Michael A. Evans Center for Health Sciences.
The College of Osteopathic Medicine matriculated its first class in August 2013.

Honorary Degrees
The Most Reverend Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R.
Doctor of Public Service
The Most Reverend Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R., was appointed Archbishop of Indianapolis by Pope
Benedict XVI, on October 18, 2012. Before his appointment as Archbishop of Indianapolis,
Archbishop Tobin served as the Archbishop Secretary of the Vatican Congregation for Institutes of
Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life.
Archbishop Tobin, a Redemptorist priest, is a native of Detroit. He was born May 3, 1952, and is
the oldest of 13 children. He was educated at Catholic schools. He studied at Holy Redeemer
College in Waterford, Wisconsin, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy in 1975.
He also studied at Mount Saint Alphonsus Seminary in Esopus, New York, where he received a
master’s degree in religious education in 1977 and a master of divinity degree in 1979. Archbishop Tobin speaks several languages
including Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese.
Archbishop Tobin professed perpetual vows as a member of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (the Redemptorists) on
August 21, 1976, and was ordained a priest on June 1, 1978. He was ordained an archbishop on October 9, 2010, in St. Peter’s
Basilica in Rome following his appointment on August 2, 2010, by Pope Benedict as the Archbishop Secretary of the Congregation
for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. In this role, Archbishop Tobin worked in the Vatican to oversee the
more than one million men and women worldwide in religious orders.
Archbishop Tobin has served as a parish priest in the inner city in Detroit and Chicago. As associate pastor of Holy Redeemer
Parish in Detroit from 1979 to 1984, Father Tobin was responsible for ministering to the Hispanic community. He served as pastor
of Holy Redeemer Parish from 1984 to 1990. He then served as pastor of St. Alphonsus Parish in Chicago from July 1990 until
October 1991.
Archbishop Tobin served as General Consultor of the Redemptorist congregation from 1991 to 1997 and as its Superior General
from 1997 to 2009. He was appointed by the Pope to five Synods of Bishops in 1998, 1999, 2001, 2005, and 2008.
Archbishop Tobin has served as the co-chairman of the North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation since
June 2013. He has also been a member of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Sub-Committee on the
Church in Africa since June 2013. He is the chairmen-elect of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on
Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations and will become chairman following the USCCB’s fall general assembly in 2016.
On March 29, 2014, Pope Francis appointed Archbishop Tobin a member of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and
Societies of Apostolic Life.
Marian University is honored to award an honorary doctorate to this humble servant of the Catholic Church who has employed his

consumed throughout the world, exporting to over 60 countries and producing 1.1 billion pouches of microwave popcorn. This is

The Weavers’ commitment to addressing the needs of the community in central Indiana and beyond has afforded them the

Army for two years before earning his MBA in marketing in 1972. Mr. Weaver joined Weaver Popcorn Company in 1972 and became
president in 1980. The company, now a fourth generation, family-owned business, was founded in 1928 by Ira Weaver, Mr. Weaver’s
grandfather and a United Brethren minister.
Together, the Weavers have three children and 10 wonderful grandchildren, ranging in age from two to 23. Mr. and Mrs. Weaver’s
twin grandsons currently attend Marian University.

OUR VISION
Provide an education that profoundly transforms lives, society, and the world.
At Marian University we achieve this vision by preparing graduates who are:
• knowledgeable and professional;
• inquisitive in a broad, multi-dimensional, and critical way;
• ethically informed and holistic in perspective; and
• spiritually mature.
OUR MISSION
Marian University is a Catholic university dedicated to excellent teaching and learning in the Franciscan and
liberal arts traditions.
OUR FRANCISCAN SPONSORSHIP VALUES
Our campus welcomes students of all faiths who seek an educational experience that emphasizes a
Franciscan understanding of the sponsorship values of dignity of the individual, peace and justice,
reconciliation, and responsible stewardship, informed by prayer.
Upon this strong foundation are three pillars of strength, on which all of the accomplishments of the
Marian University community rest:
• a commitment to excellent teaching and learning;
• curriculum and programs in the liberal arts, Franciscan, and Catholic traditions; and
• a campus community that creates a rich faith, culture, and social environment that nurtures high
academic achievement and the ultimate purposes of higher education.
We create remarkable futures for those who attend Marian University by strengthening and building on
these pillars.
