ºìÐÓÊÓƵ College aspires to graduate students with a lifelong passion for learning, a compassion for others, and the ability to​ translate academic study and personal concern into effective leadership and action in their communities and the world. We will achieve our aspiration through four strategic imperatives:
Student Access
To attract and retain a talented, diverse student body and engage these students in a challenging, inclusive, and culturally broadening college experience.
Student Learning
To ensure our faculty and staff have the talent, the time, and the resources to inspire and involve our students in meaningful study, research, and service.
Student Engagement
To enhance student opportunities for learning in Memphis.
Student Inspiration
To provide a residential place of learning that inspires integrity and high achievement through its beauty, its emphasis on values, its Presbyterian history, and its heritage as a leader in the liberal arts and sciences.
ºìÐÓÊÓƵ College’s Commitment to Diversity
A diverse learning ºìÐÓÊÓƵ is a necessary element of a residential liberal arts education. We, the members of the ºìÐÓÊÓƵ College ºìÐÓÊÓƵ, are committed to creating a ºìÐÓÊÓƵ where diversity is valued and welcomed. To that end, ºìÐÓÊÓƵ College does not discriminate – and will not tolerate harassment – on the basis of race, gender, color, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, and national or ethnic origin.
We are committed to providing an open learning environment. Freedom of thought, a healthy exchange of ideas, and an appreciation of diverse perspectives are fundamental characteristics of a ºìÐÓÊÓƵ of scholars. To promote such an academic and social environment we expect integrity and honesty in our relationships with each other and openness to learning about and experiencing cultural diversity. We believe that these qualities are crucial to fostering social and intellectual maturity. Intellectual maturity also requires individual struggle with unfamiliar ideas. We recognize that our views and convictions will be challenged, and we expect this challenge to take place in a climate of tolerance and mutual respect.
