About Villanova University

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the College of Engineering are deeply committed to work-life balance and family-friendly programs for our faculty. This commitment is realized in strong collaborative relationships between our department and faculty with the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the McNulty Institute for Women’s Leadership, and the VISIBLE (Villanova Initiative to Support Inclusiveness and Build Leaders) Office.

The University is located 12 miles from Philadelphia along the historic Main Line. From its founding in 1842 to its position today as a nationally recognized leading university, Villanova University has forged a path of academic excellence.

Villanova University, as a Catholic Augustinian institution of higher education, recognizes diversity as an integral component of the teaching and learning experience and as an essential element of the ongoing intellectual, social and spiritual development of every member of the Villanova community.

Accordingly, Villanova University will be a diverse community. We commit ourselves to cultivating an academic environment marked by genuine curiosity about different perspectives, ardent receptivity to knowledge generated through intercultural connections and a genuine sensitivity to the variety of human experiences marked by domestic and global differences.
