Welcome to Saint Vincent!

The Department of Academic Affairs works to support the faculty and students of the College to create an environment of academic excellence, characteristic of our mission and values. We strive to live out our motto -- Knowledge vindicates truth and justice.

Another key aspect of an education at Saint Vincent College are the ten hallmarks of a Benedictine education -- love of Christ and neighbor; prayer; stability; conversatio; obedience; discipline; humility; stewardship; hospitality and community.

 As Vice President for Academic Affairs and Chief Academic Officer, I oversee all academic programs and supervise faculty and academic administration. I work closely with the faculty and deans to promote professional development, convene meetings and support the Academic Affairs Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Office of Academic Affairs is located on the second floor of Headmasters Hall. Here you will find the Dean of Studies, Associate Dean of Studies, Study Abroad, Institutional Research and Assessment and the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

 Please feel free to stop in anytime with any questions you might have.

Dr. John Smetanka, Vice President for Academic Affairs
