  • Position Prospectus (PDF)
    Presidential Search 2021 Position Prospectus Presidential Search Voorhees College—a dynamic four- year, co-educational, career-oriented Historically Black liberal arts college affiliated with the Episcopal Church and the United Negro College Fund—seeks a highly engaged, innovative, and people- focused leader as its next President. The Board of Trustees invites applications from candidates seeking to build on the robust legacy and great opportunities of the College. History of the College In 1897, Elizabeth Evelyn Wright founded Voorhees College (originally the Denmark Industrial Institute) at the young age of 23. A native of Georgia, Wright had found her inspiration while studying at Booker T. Washington's famed Tuskegee Institute. She said time at Tuskegee gave her a mission in life: being “the same type of woman as Mr. Washington was of a man." Knowing the importance of education, she moved to Denmark and started the first of several schools in the rural area. She survived threats, attacks, and arson. Wright went back to Tuskegee to finish her degree before returning to South Carolina to try again. Undeterred and envisioning a better future for Blacks through education, she founded Denmark Industrial School in 1897, modeling it after Tuskegee. New Jersey philanthropist Ralph Voorhees and his wife donated $5,000 to buy the land and build the first building, allowing the school to open in 1902 with Wright as principal. It was the only high school for Blacks in the area. In 1924, the American Church Institutes for Negroes, which was part of the Episcopal Church, agreed to support the school. It was the beginning of a long relationship between the school and the church, an affiliation that continues today.
