2023 President's Report: Making an Impact

February 27, 2024

Dear éÙ×ÓÊÓƵfaculty, staff, and students:

I am pleased to share with you the latest President’s Report, which highlights the impressive impact of the éÙ×ÓÊÓƵcommunity in 2023.

The numbers in the report offer a snapshot of SLU's remarkable accomplishments – our largest endowment, record enrollment, and robust research funding.

But you know as well as I do: To truly understand the impact of the éÙ×ÓÊÓƵcommunity, you need to meet our incredible faculty, staff, students and alumni.

In this report, we’ve profiled 10 of them. Together, they represent just some of the countless ways that éÙ×ÓÊÓƵis advancing knowledge and transforming lives.

I have the gift of hearing the stories of the éÙ×ÓÊÓƵcommunity every day. I can attest that each person who joins the éÙ×ÓÊÓƵcommunity – all of our more than 15,000 students, 4,000 employees and 137,000 alumni – brings their distinctive experiences, aspirations and drive to make a positive difference.

The profiles in this report tell a story that you are contributing to each and every day.

Your impact is extraordinary.

Fred P. Pestello, Ph.D.
éÙ×ÓÊÓƵ President
