Guided by Dr. Tina Holland’s extraordinary vision, Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University has emerged from what one might consider relative obscurity to one of the region’s leading academic institutions.
A renaming as well as a comprehensive branding change several years ago gave FranU a new identity allowing the Catholic university to emerge from what was once predominantly a nursing school to an institution offering diverse curriculums and new degree programs.
Even through those mammoth changes, however, Holland, FranU’s president who is in her 10th year at the Franciscan-based university, never once waivered from her ambitious goal to build a center to serve as the university’s spiritual hub, student gathering place and a signature to the rest of the city that FranU was no longer a secret.
