The mission acts as a guide to faculty as they teach students as well as a map for staff as they manage the daily workings of the university. It's a constant reminder that Huntington University is a Christ-centered institution.
"The university's founders meant to build an institution for the young people of the denomination 'and others.' In other words, they were looking out for their own, and they were looking beyond, toward the common good," said Dr. Del Doughty, interim vice president for academic affairs. "Our mission defines our purpose as an institution it's literally our reason for being. I think of it as our DNA. If you took any given thing that we do here, cut off a slice and put it under a microscope, you should see the mission."
The mission has stood for 117 years and will stand for another century as a pillar of meaning and direction as the institution works to guide the next generation of students.
