  • Distinguish the university as Catholic and Diocesan;
  • Broaden the understanding of the Catholic faith, its heritage and traditions, among the university stakeholder and beyond;
  • Increase the visibility of the University locally, regionally, nationally and internationally;
  • Build community and improve communication both internally and externally.
