Saint Leo University is a private, non-profit, Roman Catholic university located in Saint Leo, Florida, near San Antonio, Florida, which is north of Tampa. Dr. Arthur F. Kirk, Jr. has been the president of the university since January 1997. It is associated with the Holy Name Monastery (Benedictine sisters; formerly known as Holy Name Priory), and Saint Leo Abbey (Benedictine monks).
Saint Leo's main campus is in a rural setting, but is not far from large cities such as Tampa, St. Petersburg and Orlando. It offers small class sizes taught by full-time faculty members: it employs no teaching assistants.
Among the students who have attended Saint Leo University or one of its antecedents are actors Desi Arnaz and Lee Marvin, singer Stephen Stills, major league pitchers Red Barrett, Bob Tewksbury and Jim Corsi as well as current Blue Jays General Manager JP Ricciardi, and Nicaraguan president Anastasio Somoza Debayle.
