Sophie helping a person in need

Sophie Young

It’s about fame shining the light on those in need

Compassion is core to Brescia's Ursuline mission of educating young women to lead with wisdom, justice and compassion.

Brescia students lead with compassion and empathy, developing competency in awareness--of their community and surroundings.

Brescia students lead in many ways, where at times, it's not about standing in the spotlight, it's about shining the light on those in need.

Brescia students are actively engaged in their community and work to create an environment where leadership is a shared responsibility.
