About
Mission
We educate the head, heart, and hands –
to inspire leaders of integrity who cultivate thriving communities.
Combining academic exploration with meaningful work responsibilities in a residential setting, our approach emphasizes firsthand experiences and mentoring. We invest in the personal growth and professional preparation of talented students from varied backgrounds, with an enduring commitment to help others. Guided by Good Neighbor Culture which shapes how we value, treat, and serve one another - on campus and beyond the Gate of Opportunity - we seek to serve. Rooted in our motto, "Not to be ministered unto, but to minister, we cultivate a community where we value the dignity of individuals, the search for truth is tempered with grace, and the well-being of our neighbors guides our relationships..
