tradition and closely related to The United Methodist Church, the College is a community of learning based on fundamental
principles formed at the intersection of Christian faith and liberal education: intellectual rigor, self-discovery, human
dignity, mutual support, social justice, self-discipline, mental and physical wellness, the appreciation of diversity and the
natural world, and the judicious use of resources. The College recognizes and affirms its interdependence with the external
communities-local, regional, national, and global-and its covenant with the people of West Virginia to share its educational
and cultural resources. |
