The university motto of “Character-Culture-Christ” was first introduced in 1933, and although the mission has undergone various modifications, the descriptors of the motto reflect the institution’s most basic ideals. The continuity provided by this motto keeps the institution focused on the pivotal role of education in character development, the nurturing of cultural analysis and critique, and the tremendous potential of simultaneously pursuing the best in education and Christian commitment.
