Excerpt from West Virginia Wesleyan College Academic Catalog, 1986-88 As an academic institution Wesleyan prepares its graduates in both the liberal and applied arts. In the tradition of liberal arts colleges. The Wesleyan faculty and administration are committed to developing the breadth of learning which both frees and disciplines the mind. Refines and humanizes judgment. And enriches personal life. Within this context Wesleyan seeks further to provide programs that equip students to participate responsibly, productively. And knowledgeably in their society. Particularly in the interdependence of industrial society and developing regions. Building into a community the human diversity represented by its students and faculty. The College strives to enact on its campus a quality of life which exemplifies education of the whole person in a framework of freedom with responsibility. This includes enhancing and reinforcing the potential of each person for service to all and fostering a society devoted to the sacredness of human life. In these aims West Virginia Wesleyan joins hands with its many alumni throughout the world in an effort to promote loving. Just. And responsible action in the vocations to which they are called. As a church-related institution of higher learning, the College seeks to administer its life by basic principles of stewardship. It would thereby remain responsible to its many alumni. Donors, and students in the use of its resources so that maximum educational benefit can be achieved for the academic community and those who support its life by gifts and service. It is in deep appreciation of the past, involvement in the present, and anticipation of the future that West Virginia Wesleyan College finds its mission rooted and expressed. Loyalty to the best of the past, creativity in the face of a changing society. And responsibility to God and His creation remain key concepts which undergird Wesleyan's existence today and shape the nature of its life tomorrow.
