University of Saint Francis

The University of Saint Francis is a Catholic university founded in 1890 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration. Its main campus in Fort Wayne sits on 132 acres about 2.5 miles from downtown and offers more than 60 majors, with clubs, organizations and 21 intercollegiate athletic teams. Healthcare education is a major focus, including nursing and allied health programs, and sites in Crown Point, Lafayette, Indianapolis and Gas City offer hands-on training in hospital and clinical settings.

The university also rents out its St. Bonaventure Event Center, a stand-alone building next to St. Bonaventure Hall. The space holds up to 40 people and suits baby showers, small conferences and one-day retreats. It includes a small catering kitchen and has adjacent parking for easy in and out access.
