O’Neill Library Plaza

The university remains the place where fundamental questions that touch the person
and community can be aired, in the areas of economics, politics, culture, science, theology, the search for meaning.
The university should be a bearer of human and ethical values;
it should be the critical conscience of the society;
it should illuminate with its reflection those who are addressing the problematic of the modern or postmodern society;
it should be the crucible where the diverse tendencies in human thought are debated and solutions proposed.
