OUR MISSION
Because we believe that literacy forms the core of education and that literature and language have the power to inspire both individuals and societies, we read, and we teach our students to read thoroughly and carefully. We embrace the prophetic admonitions to “teach one another words of wisdom”; to seek “out of the best books words of wisdom”; and to “seek learning, even by study and also by faith.” The English Department’s commitment to reading, writing, literary study, rhetoric, and teacher training grounds students in stories of our common humanity and supports the university’s mission to “assist students in their quest” to “come unto Christ, and be perfected in him.
