Hastings College

It is an honor to serve as the 15th president of Hastings College. I encourage you to visit our campus and to discover for yourself what makes this college a treasure in the Heartland of America.

For nearly 130 years, Hastings College has provided a liberal arts education true to our Midwestern values and our Presbyterian heritage. We emphasize improving oneself and one’s community, encouraging a work ethic which seeks the highest form of excellence and maintaining a Christian identity that prepares one to ask life’s Big Questions while remaining tolerant and open to other voices.

Finally, Hastings College places student success as the highest priority. Hastings College consistently ranks well above its peers by the National Survey for Students Engagement for the accessibility, positive interactions and caring that students receive from faculty, coaches, staff and administration.

While it’s important to know that Hastings College will prepare you for a job and a career, it’s more important to know that Hastings College will prepare you for a life well lived.
