Opportunity for all

“The College worked closely with me, as it does with every student who is accepted, to find financial solutions so that I could attend.”

Last year, more than $18 million from the College gave deserving students an opportunity to study and learn on the Hill.

Campus-wide, more than 30 computer-enhanced smart classrooms are available to students and faculty to connect to the Internet, make digital presentations and view DVD/VHS media.

Teachers, mentors – and scholars too

“My study of traditional medicine in China will enrich my Botany class, enabling me to incorporate more on the herbs and other plant sources that have healed the Chinese for over 2,000 years.”
Esther Iglich, Professor of Biology

“As an artist and a teacher, exhibiting my work and attending residencies inevitably affect what I do in the classroom and whether my students perceive me as knowledgeable and relevant in my field.”
Steve Pearson, Assistant Professor of Art and Art History

Our professors last year attended 176 professional conferences, gave 96 professional presentations, published 52 articles and six books, ranging in topic from terrorism and peacekeeping to detective fiction.

Professors collaborated with students on 161 research projects that crossed all disciplines from psychology to physics; sociology to statistics and economics to ecology.

making the Hill a beautiful place for 17 years

During the spring 2006 semester, 54 members of our community and 60 of their spouses and children took classes tuition-free and for credit in such varied topics as ceramics, Victorian literature, ethics, Greek, cello and cognitive neuroscience. 

Keeping the lights and our 800 computer screens illuminated costs about $1.7 million each year.
