In 2013, McKendree became a member of the NCAA Division II, a move that has provided exciting opportunities for student-athletes to compete at a high level. An enhanced academic reputation for the university has accompanied its growth. The university has become more selective, attracting more academically talented students, and the student body is more diverse. McKendree offers a wide variety of co-curricular opportunities, including music, band, athletic teams, debate teams, honor societies, student research opportunities and academic programs that have resulted in a robust university environment. The Russel E. and Fern M. Hettenhausen Center for the Arts, known as the “Hett,” is home to the music and theatre programs. It offers the campus community a state-of-the-art facility in which to enjoy a wide variety of performances and special events. Within the last 10 years, McKendree has opened “1828,” a café to serve commuter students, evening students, and the campus community. Most recently, two new residence halls were constructed to better serve a growing residential student population. Along with the many advances at the institution, one thing remains constant: McKendree University continues to provide a nurturing environment, offering students opportunities and challenges that lead to unmatched personal and professional growth. 3 Academic Calendar LEBANON CAMPUS ACADEMIC CALENDAR 2018/2019 Fall 2018 AUG 22-26 WED-SUN New Student Orientation – All Lebanon campus first-year students must attend 27 MON Fall semester classes begin on the Lebanon campus SEPT 3 MON Labor Day – No classes on the Lebanon campus nor at off-campus centers OCT 18 THUR First half semester ends 19 FRI Fall Break – No classes on Lebanon campus 22 MON Second half semester begins NOV 21-25 WED-SUN Thanksgiving Holiday – No classes on the Lebanon campus DEC 7 FRI Last day of fall semester classes 10 MON Final examination period begins 13 THU Final examination period ends Spring 2019 JAN 14 MON Spring semester classes begin on the Lebanon campus 21 MON Martin Luther King Day – No classes on the Lebanon campus MAR 8 FRI First half semester ends 9 SAT Spring recess begins at 10:00 p.m. 17 MON Spring recess ends at 8:00 a.m. 18 MON Second half semester begins APRIL 19 FRI Good Friday – No classes on the Lebanon campus 25 THU Academic Excellence Celebration MAY 3 FRI Last day of spring semester classes 6 MON Final examination period begins 9 THU Final examination period ends 10 FRI Senior Farewell Service 11 SAT Commencement 4 CongratulationsMcKendree University 2018/2019 on your Undergraduate decision Catalog to enroll at McKendree University.
