Statement of Mission of Baldwin Wallace College Baldwin-Wallace College is committed to continuing the development of a climate for learning which will provide each student with the maximum opportunity for academic, spiritual and social growth. This environment is characterized by: an intellectual community marked by a dedicated faculty and staff and a student body truly interested in learning; a recognition of individual differences among students and a commitment to provide particular educational programs designed to serve individual student needs; a confirmed belief that a liberal arts orientation is the most effective basis for career preparation and the best means of instilling in all students those values which will lead to rich and productive lives; an acknowledgment of the long-standing and active affiliation of this institution with the United Methodist Church and support of the values represented thereby; a spirit of community which makes the institution an exciting and rewarding place in which to learn, to teach and to work; a place where excellence is highly prized, the needs and aspirations of each member of the community are recognized and personal relationships at all levels are marked by respect and concern for individuals; and a sincere hope that the College — students, faculty, staff, alumni, trustees and supportive friends — will view learning as a lifelong process and will make significant and lasting contributions to the well-being of the larger community. We who labor and learn here believe that such an environment will help all human beings touched by Baldwin-Wallace College to live decent, useful, happy lives. We can wish them no better prospect; we charge ourselves with such a mission. Statement on Church Relatedness At Baldwin-Wallace, a college related to the United Methodist Church, the liberal arts and the sciences form the basis of a diversified program of study. The academic program of the College is committed to the development of the whole person — intellectually, socially and morally. Baldwin-Wallace seeks to fulfill its goal of providing an education of quality in the atmosphere of an academic community where faculty and students together share in the pursuit of knowledge. 2 About Baldwin-Wallace College As a college related to the United Methodist Church, Baldwin-Wallace relies upon a tradition which endeavors to pursue truth while attempting to avoid narrow sectarianism. We remain dedicated to these intellectual and religious traditions of United Methodism. Our understanding of church relatedness implies an openness to all persons, regardless of their personal religious persuasion, in our pursuit of social, intellectual and religious values. As a church-related college, Baldwin-Wallace looks to and reflects upon its Judeo- Christian tradition. In its dedication and commitment to the whole person, Baldwin- Wallace endeavors to create an educational environment where all members of the college community are joined together in the intimacy of learning and where they can come to a clearer understanding of themselves and their purpose in life. The College seeks to serve the members of the community through the love revealed by God in the Scriptures and in the life of Jesus the Christ. As part of that effort, Baldwin- Wallace helps persons in its community to develop their abilities to respond creatively in their own faith to the will of God with wisdom, knowledge, courage, sensitivity and compassion.
