Marian University recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with The Salvation Army, a partnership aimed to offer individuals additional educational and service opportunities. “This is an exciting new partnership with a highly regarded social services organization with a long tradition of providing compassionate care in the local community,” said Stacey Akey, vice president for Enrollment Management at Marian. “Marian’s partnership will allow students to achieve their personal and professional goals at an institution that is closely aligned with The Salvation Army’s mission and values.” “The Salvation Army is excited to partner with Marian University. We encourage life-long learning to individuals we serve,” said Major Dan Jennings, Salvation Army divisional commander for Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. “Educational opportunities are critical to building stronger families and communities. The Marian University, Salvation Army educational partnership supports our mission of meeting human need without discrimination.” This MOU supports an environment where both Marian University and The Salvation Army will work collaboratively to support the educational needs of individuals interested in Marian’s adult and graduate programs. The partnership also grants scholarship and tuition discounts to Salvation Army employees, employee spouses and dependents.
