Spurring Growth, Maintaining Excellence
 Since becoming the 23rd president of St. Edward’s University in 1999, George E. Martin, PhD, has been busy leading the university's collaborative effort to be recognized as one of the best small universities in the country.
Plans for advancing the university began in 1999 when President Martin and the Board of Trustees developed a set of seven strategic priorities that today guide the university’s progress while maintaining the tradition of academic excellence and a low student-to-faculty ratio.
Planning for the Future,
Preserving the Past
In 2000, an ambitious 10-year master plan was put in motion to meet the changing needs of a growing student body while preserving the overall architectural character of campus.
“We are committed,” says President Martin, “to attracting architects from across the country and the world who can design noteworthy and inspiring structures that add to the sense of place on our campus.”
Campus improvements outlined in the master plan include:

Early Success Achieved
Following the inception of the master plan, St. Edward’s has
realized early success through building projects such as
Trustee Hall, which was featured in Architectural Record, and
Basil Moreau Hall, a state-of-the-art residence hall with easy
access to campus. But our achievements aren't just limited to campus construction — St. Edward’s has been ranked 21st in the west among “America’s Best Colleges” by U.S. News & World Report and continues to be ranked in all categories of the National Survey of Student Engagement.
