Romeoville, IL (06/13/2023) — Lewis University has been named a College of Distinction for the 2023-2024 academic year, marking its commitment to providing a high-quality undergraduate education that focuses on hands-on learning, strong student-teacher relationships, a vibrant campus life, and successful outcomes.
Colleges of Distinction's selection process comprises a sequence of in-depth research and detailed interviews with the schools, accepting only those that adhere to the Four Distinctions: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Community, and Successful Outcomes. As a College of Distinction, Lewis University has shown excellence in each of these areas, providing its students with a well-rounded, practical education that prepares them for successful careers and lives.
"We believe that engaged students are successful students," said Tyson Schritter, Chief Operating Officer at Colleges of Distinction." And Lewis University's dedication to experiential learning shows us that each of its students has the opportunity to play an active role in their education."
To be named a College of Distinction, Lewis University demonstrated excellence in undergraduate education in such factors as student engagement, teaching excellence, outcomes-based learning, and community involvement.

Lewis University's inclusion as a College of Distinction is a testament to the way it caters to its own students' potential and goals, helping them achieve success in unique ways that cannot be ranked against others.
