VERITAS, UNITAS, CARITAS: VILLANOVANS RESPOND TO THE PANDEMIC VILLANOVA NEWS A Call to Prayer and Reflection, from University President Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA Upon reflection and conversations with others, I have come to realize that we can and must do better as an institution to support our Black students, faculty, staff and alumni. There is much work to do, and difficult and uncomfortable conversations need to be had, but I firmly believe that Villanova can be an example of the change we want to see not only in our community, but also in communities around our country.
