Congratulations to Franciscan University’s Record-Breaking Class

Congratulations to Franciscan University of Steubenville and the 928 members of the Class of 2026, the largest graduating class in the university’s history. As reported by the Herald-Star, this year’s graduates came from across the country and around the world, marking another milestone for Franciscan and for Steubenville.

This is wonderful news for our city. Downtown businesses are glad to welcome Franciscan’s growing student body, families, alumni, and visitors, and we are especially thankful for the graduates who choose to stay, work, worship, start families, and build their lives here in Steubenville. Their presence strengthens our community and adds to the renewal taking root downtown.
