Welcome from Jacqueline Powers Doud

As president of Mount St. Mary's College, I am pleased to introduce you to this institution and welcome you to explore the ways we connect students to a world of possibilities.

Mount President Jacqueline Powers Doud

Since its founding in 1925 by the Sisters of St. Joseph, Mount St. Mary's has empowered women to realize their full potential and to contribute enormous talents in Southern California and around the world. Housed on two beautiful campuses, Mount St. Mary's serves one of the most diverse student bodies in the nation.

From our hilltop Chalon Campus in West Los Angeles to the historic Doheny Campus near downtown Los Angeles, the College provides a transforming education centered on bringing ideas to life.

In the past 15 years, 20 women's colleges nationwide closed, went coed, or were acquired by larger institutions. Despite this trend, Mount St. Mary's continues to thrive and its degree programs remain viable and vital in contemporary society.

Our professors teach students to move from the realm of ideas to real-world applications. This mission extends to all programs at the College -- associate, baccalaureate, graduate, and certificate programs.

An education at Mount St. Mary's will give you the skills and habits of an educated person: the ability to communicate effectively, to solve problems, to work cooperatively, to live a life of curiosity and engagement, and to contribute effectively to your communities.

I look forward to greeting you in person when you visit the College!

Sincerely,

Jacqueline Powers Doud
President
