What is your relationship to Seton Hill University?

The Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill and Seton Hill University are two separate entities operating under separate budgets and financial obligations.

The Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill own the property on which Seton Hill University is located and have leased the property to the University for $1 per year for a period of 99 years. Early presidents of the college were the Mother Superiors of the Congregation. The first priest-president was appointed in 1925 with the Congregation maintaining oversight of the college through the Board of Corporators. The first lay president, Eileen Farrell, was appointed in 1977. As these changes in administration occurred, the Sisters of Charity have remained involved with Seton Hill University as administrators, faculty members, and members of the Board of Trustees.
