Lamp of Learning: Museum & Archives

April 24, 2020

The difference in mission between college education and vocational training is to both educate the student for tomorrow while also preparing the student for life; for whatever is there beyond the horizon, the graduate equipped for that which we can’t yet see today. We make explorers and pathfinders! Our students are seekers who respond to the invitation of self-discovery and knowledge that higher education promises. Our community is itself a promise.

Five Months in 1945: New Museum Blog Post

April 3, 2020

In the century plus since our founding, the University has seen a lot, and been through a lot of ups and downs.  Triumphs (yeah, like this year’s women’s basketball WCC championship!!!) as well as times of scarcity and disruption have marked our journey from then to now. Working from the archives in the deep basements of The Bluff, we have had a chance to look back and perchance reflect. Today’s offering from the University Archives and Museum uses the pages of The Beacon to look at a five-month period in 1945. Follow this link to our blog post and, as Dr. Jim Covert liked to say, “Keep your chins up!”
