Since 1910, Rockhurst has carried the nearly 500-year-old tradition of Jesuit education. A tradition of learning, leadership and service that has transformed students’ lives for generations.
And now, it's time to celebrate that tradition.
On April 24, we invite the Rockhurst community to come together for a celebration unlike any other. We need your help to raise to continue providing transformative education in the Jesuit tradition.
