In this community, all are learners. Learning takes place outside the classroom as well as inside it. Faculty are conscious of their need to teach but also of their need to learn new information, new ways of teaching and learning, new technologies. Learning at Elizabethtown includes the development of critical thinking skills and lifelong learning. It is for this reason that small classes are valued here and that faculty student relationships are prized.
Students are the reasons all are here.
The College acknowledges the need to serve student interests and to balance these interests with careful stewardship of College resources. We are a nurturing community that seeks to develop a sense of care and concern while at the same time fostering independence and responsibility in our students. This assumes a sense of mutual respect among all members of the campus community. The College values and affirms the contributions made by all sectors of the community. Staff and administration, students and faculty, office personnel and hourly workers all have their roles to play in creating a healthy social environment within the College community.
