An Inspired Year in Photos

 

It’s been quite a year, Red Foxes!

Relive the moments, milestones, and memories we created together in 2025.

We Became a University!

Marist University Day marked a defining moment for our institution and the beginning of an exciting new era.

We Engaged in Serious Learning!

From research to hands-on learning to professional networking, the Marist community had a year full of exciting experiences.

Our students produced a stellar Silver Needle Runway fashion show, learned cutting-edge technologies for market research, networked with Red Fox alumni at Paramount...

...and the learning didn't stop there! They also presented high-quality research across schools, powered an on-campus credit union with Red Fox Financial, made an impact beyond the classroom in the Tarver Internship Program, and so much more.

We Expanded Our Community

In 2025, our community grew in meaningful ways: we welcomed the centennial class of 2029, celebrated the arrival of Dr. Maurice Hall as our new dean of Communication and the Arts, and built new bridges through on campus partnerships that deepen student engagement and collaboration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Our Backyard to Around the World

Our students, faculty, and alumni carried the Marist spirit everywhere they went this year, bringing Marist to the world and the world to Marist!

We Celebrated Together

There was so much to celebrate in 2025 along with traditions new and old. The Red Foxes softball team were MAAC champions, the Class of 2025 was treated to an address from nationally renowned journalist Steve Kornacki, and the annual holiday tree wowed the entire Marist Community with its record number of lights -- and went viral with over 15 million views!
