MIAMI SHORES | Barry University will host an exciting line-up of activities during this year’s Founders’ Week, to mark its 75th anniversary and honor its rich Adrian Dominican heritage. The celebrations will begin Monday, Nov. 9, and conclude Saturday, Nov. 14.

“Founders’ Week includes celebratory, recreational, and scholarly activities that highlight the many ways our university community expresses and exemplifies Barry’s mission, identity, and core commitments,” said Barry’s president, Adrian Dominican Sister Linda Bevilacqua.

Barry was founded in 1940 by the Adrian Dominican Sisters as a small women’s college. It now offers more than 100 bachelors, masters, and doctoral degree programs with a co-ed enrollment of nearly 9,000 students, with more than 60,000 alums worldwide. It has a 122-acre main campus in Miami Shores; the Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law campus in Orlando; and satellite locations in 10 Florida counties, the Bahamas, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The community is invited to join in the university’s 75th anniversary celebration by taking part in these Founders’ Week events:

Barry is located at 11300 N.E. Second Ave., Miami Shores. For information on additional events, please visit www.barry.edu/founders-week.
