A special welcome from Dr. Spinelli
Dear Friends,

Welcome to Philadelphia University’s website. I am pleased to introduce our wonderful community to you. Whether you are visiting as a prospective student, parent, current student, alumna, alumnus, or friend, you have come to us at an exciting time.

As Philadelphia University’s new President — with my official inauguration coming in October — I welcome the challenges and opportunities that transition and continued growth can bring to Philadelphia University. After years of experience in entrepreneurship, global management, and higher education, I look forward to the new chapter we will write together in the history of Philadelphia University. I am excited to be part of such an engaging academic community. Students, faculty, and staff thrive here. The combination of innovative ideas and a strong work ethic make this University one that is extremely unique. Whatever you are looking for, whether it is design & media, business, science & health, architecture, engineering & textiles, or liberal arts, you will find it at Philadelphia University. I am also convinced that you will find even more than what you are looking for, including an energy and intellectual curiosity that are catching.

I hope you take this opportunity to explore the details of this vibrant University and the educational philosophy that binds us. There is a special welcome for prospective students, but I also encourage you to investigate other areas of interest. Again, welcome.

Best wishes,

Stephen Spinelli Jr., Ph.D.
President
