Neumann University

Rain or shine, Neumann Homecoming is always a good time! Thanks to our Neumann community for making this weekend one to remember. 💙💛

Red October starts today! ⚾️🔴 And before the Phillies take the field, we’re celebrating four Neumann stars who already had a front-row seat to baseball’s biggest summer stage.

Makiyah Blackwood, Jessica Miller, Alura Troilo, and Faith Weaver all played a role during MLB’s Midsummer Classic, gaining hands-on experience and helping bring All-Star Week to life.

From working on the Phillies’ marketing and promotions team and managing attractions at All-Star Village to supporting fans inside Citizens Bank Park and serving as a Phillies Ballgirl, each student had a unique experience behind the scenes of one of baseball’s biggest events.

Read the full story to hear about their experiences and see photos from their summer with the Phillies:

Enrollment has reached its highest level in six years, with continued growth across both undergraduate and graduate programs. We’re proud to welcome our newest Knights and excited to see all they’ll accomplish!

Please note that parking will now be available in the Mirenda Center lot.

U.S. News & World Report has ranked Neumann University among the best in the country for undergraduate nursing in its Best Colleges 2027 issue.

The nursing program is the university's most popular undergraduate major. Neumann University nursing graduates consistently achieve strong results on the NCLEX-RN, with a 96.9% first-time pass rate among test-takers over the four-year period from October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2025, according to results released by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing.

Neumann was also ranked among the Best Regional Universities in the North and as one of the Best in the North for social mobility by the magazine.

Always falling for Neumann 🍂 Happy first day of fall, Knights!

Networking in action on campus!
We had a packed house as students came together to learn about internship and career opportunities at Marsh, a global leader in risk management and insurance. The event featured presentations from Marsh leadership, followed by an engaging panel discussion and student Q&A.

A special thank you to Steve Washkalavitch, Senior Vice President at Marsh and chairperson of the Neumann University Board of Trustees, for leading the program, and to all of the Marsh representatives who joined us and shared their time and expertise with our students.

The countdown to Homecoming Weekend is on! ⏰

Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 26! We can’t wait to welcome the Neumann community to campus to celebrate. Check out the full lineup of Homecoming events, including the Homecoming Festival, athletics, games, and more. We’ll see you there!
