It is my pleasure to welcome you to Lander University. During your time here, I encourage you to take an active role in your education and in our community. Lander celebrates that life outside of the classroom plays an important role in the development of the whole person. It is our mission to create and support a learning community that challenges individuals to transform themselves, as well as the world around them.
Our faculty and staff anticipate great accomplishments from you, as we hope you expect the same from yourself. Strive for excellence, reflect upon your goals, and use your talents and energy to service others and better your community. All members of the Lander faculty and staff encourage you to take advantage of as many opportunities as possible to enhance your mind, body and spirit. We will assist and support you throughout your journey.
The University policies and procedures as outlined the Student Handbook are intended to inform you of the expectations Lander University has for its students. As part of your acceptance into Lander, you have expressed consent to adhere to the policies and procedures outlined in this handbook, as well as other University publications.
If you need assistance from any member of the Student Affairs staff, please stop by our offices in the Grier Student Center and we will be happy to meet with you.
