About this School
Webster University is located in Webster Groves, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. It was founded in 1915 by the Sisters of Loretto as Loretto College, and it was one of the first Catholic women's colleges located west of the Mississippi River. The first male students were admitted in 1962. The Sisters of Loretto transferred the university to a Board of Directors in 1967. The current president of the university is Richard Meyers. Webster has many campuses nationwide, located on military bases and in many metropolitan areas. There are also international campuses in Geneva, Switzerland, Vienna, Austria; Leiden, The Netherlands; London, UK; Hamilton, Bermuda; Shanghai, China; and Cha-am, Thailand. Webster has about 5,000 enrolled students at the main campus in Webster Groves and 15,000 worldwide. The university's mascot is the Gorlok. It was created by students in 1984 and is said to have "the paws of a speeding cheetah, horns of a fierce buffalo, and the face of a dependable Saint Bernard." Gore and Lockwood is a prominent intersection in the business area of Webster Groves where the headquarters is located. The Gorloks compete in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Webster's Loretto-Hilton Center is home to The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis and the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.
