| Mission | |
| School mission | With a global perspective and an emphasis on community service, Emory & Henry College encourages students to envision the world in which they would like to live and then challenges them to create it. Emory & Henry is named for two men who symbolize the college's dual emphasis on thought and action -- Bishop John Emory, an eminent Methodist church leader at the time the college was founded in 1836, and Patrick Henry, a famous orator of the American Revolution and Virginia's first governor. Emory & Henry's comprehensive liberal arts program includes innovative programs in environmental studies, mass communications, international studies, and public policy and community service. |
