Dr. Anne Prisco: Bound by Our Responsibilities
There are two types of people: Givers and Takers.
At least according to Dr. Anne Prisco. As President of Holy Family University, she sees it every day. The people who step up, take ownership, and contribute to something bigger than themselves… and those who approach everything through the lens of what they get in return.
But for Dr. Prisco, this isn’t just a mindset. It’s built into the foundation of Holy Family.
The university’s motto, Teneor Votis — “I am bound by my responsibilities” — isn’t about pressure. It’s about perspective. A recognition that we exist within a larger community, and that success isn’t individual… it’s shared.
In this conversation with host Pat Sitkins, Dr. Prisco breaks down how that philosophy shows up in leadership, education, and culture, and why preparing students to contribute, not just consume, is at the center of everything they do.
She also shares her perspective on higher education today, why it still matters, and how institutions like Holy Family are evolving to meet the real needs of students and the communities they serve.
