Dr. Carla Hayden is a trailblazer who spent her tenure working to make the Library of Congress accessible to all Americans.

Today, we joyously celebrate the election of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV, a moment of profound significance for the global Church. A Villanova alumnus, Pope Leo XIV is the first Pope from the United States and the first Augustinian friar to be elected.
