Welcome to A Passion for Learning, sponsored by the Provost’s Office of Mount St. Mary’s University. A Passion for Learning draws on the ideas and interests of Mount St. Mary’s faculty, students, and alumni who are “inspired by a passion for learning.” We believe that the cultivation of our intellectual life will make us better people, looking for greater understanding and becoming more compassionate, to the end that we can “lead lives of significance in service to God and others.”
