The College is committed to providing an intellectually rigorous undergraduate education within the context of a supportive, diverse residential community. Our curriculum integrates the traditional liberal arts with selected pre-professional studies. Our faculty are passionate about teaching, value close relationships with students, and are committed to the pedagogical and intellectual importance of research. All members of our community are committed to educating the whole person through experiences within and beyond the classroom. Honoring its historical heritage from the Lutheran Church and its continuing connection with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Muhlenberg encourages, welcomes, and celebrates a variety of faith traditions and spiritual perspectives. Dear Members of the Great Class of 2014, If you are like most people, memories of your college years will stay vivid and fresh for the rest of your life. Mind you, they may not be accurate, JCefm but they will be vivid. I’m not sure why this is, but it probably has c something to do with the novelty of college life - a first taste of independence and responsibility sharply different from the life you lived before. College is a place where you discovered and created who you were meant to be. The professors who valued your ideas, the friends who diatidy appreciated your humor and your sense of self, the paths and buildings where you faced and met the challenges that shaped you - all are powerful elements that should sustain you for a lifetime. You are probably reading this letter for the first time a few months after President graduation, when the demands of setting up a new life in a new place with a new job or degree program are pressing, and Muhlenberg seems like an oasis of security in your recent past. You will probably not read it again for years or decades, by which time you may not even remember who I was. My words won’t change, but you will. You will find vocations and ^rom partners, and perhaps have children. You will enjoy triumphs and doubtless experience disappointments and personal loss. Throughout these changes I hope the lessons learned, friendships made, insights gained, and memories formed at Muhlenberg will continue to nourish you. And I hope that you will continue to nurture Muhlenberg, your alma mater, by supporting it with your talent, time, and treasure - so that dUessage future generations can continue to enjoy the benefits you had here, forming new memories, and building new lives. Jl All the best in the years to come, Randy Helm
