Honoring Marist’s strong foundation and embracing the possibilities ahead
On January 29, 2025, Marist officially became a university—a milestone that reflects decades of academic growth, global reach, and an unwavering commitment to student success. The transition signals more than a name change; it’s a moment of evolution that honors Marist’s strong foundation while embracing the possibilities ahead.
That same day, Marist unveiled a bold new university logo and launched a global storytelling campaign celebrating the impact of a Marist education.
From Florence to Poughkeepsie, the entire Marist community was invited to imagine more, become more, and share their stories along the way. This pivotal shift positions Marist to amplify its voice, deepen its mission, and bring its distinctive blend of serious learning and spirited community to an even wider stage.
“We’re thrilled to use this pivotal moment to look boldly ahead, introducing Marist University to new audiences and achieving national and international recognition, while honoring the values that have defined the institution from the very beginning," said President Kevin Weinman.
