Mission Statement

The purpose of Academic Services is to advance the College’s mission by creating and sustaining academic programs and services that enhance the teaching-learning process, foster a stimulating and supportive environment for students, faculty, and staff, and benefit the College’s broader communities.  Academic Services offers curricular and co-curricular (varsity athletics and intramural sports) programs affording students a liberal arts education of superior quality in a personalized setting.  These programs are designed to develop thoughtful, inquisitive, critical, and creative men and women that are able to reason clearly and critically, to read carefully and accurately, to speak and write precisely and persuasively, and to interpret with insight and imagination.  Complementing this intellectual development is personal development that advances the values of intellectual honesty, the love of the truth, fairness to opposing points of view, tolerance of reasoned dissent, patience with complexity and ambiguity, and wellness. In these ways, the programs and services offered by Academic Services foster life-long learning, service to others, civic and moral responsibility, and fulfilling vocations.
