Education for Individual and Social Responsibility
Our Aspirations We aspire to provide a campus-wide academic culture such that our students will come to understand the need to serve others as well as themselves, to celebrate both the wealth of human diversity and the bond of human similarity, to care for the earth and all its resources, and to strike a balance among their intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual capacities. It is our hope that each graduate will embrace our essential principle in his or her life's work. Our Commitment Driven by our academic vision, Olivet College maintains a learning environment that encourages scholastic excellence among students, faculty, and the wider campus community. Students at Olivet College are committed first to their learning. Faculty at Olivet College are committed first to their teaching. And, the institution is committed first to providing the necessary resources and support to achieve these goals both within and beyond the classroom. Our Heritage The foundation of our guiding principle was established one hundred and fifty-three years ago by the founders of Olivet College when they wrote, We wish simply to do good to our students, by placing in their hands the means of intellectual, moral and spiritual improvement, and to teach them the divine art and science of doing good to others.
