Message from the President Founded in 1866 as the oldest private institution of higher learning in Florida, Edward Waters College has a lush history of educating students to become future leaders of society. Since its inception, the College has attracted students from throughout the country, and abroad, by offering a rare trio of rich academic, cultural and spiritual experiences to shape its scholars into independent thinkers and impactful citizens of the world. In fact, as an alumnus of Edward Waters College, I can affirm the strong foundation that Edward Waters College provided me to rise as a leader, both personally and professionally. A holistic education is the cornerstone to expanding the capacity of one’s mind and soul. Rigorous academics, coupled with spiritual and social support, enable students to grow in and outside of the classroom. Furthermore, it instills not only the competency to solve the problems of an everevolving, globalized 21st Century economy, but also the passion to serve the underserved and to guide the misguided. Through the process of acquiring a holistic education at Edward Waters College, students have numerous opportunities to ignite their curiosity, foster new ideas, grow in their faith and give back to the community. As the 29th President, I am committed to growing Edward Waters College into an internationally recognized institution, renowned for its unique programs, research and student support systems. However, our most important goal is to produce graduates that will be noted for elevating the standards of professional excellence and servant leadership in order to contribute to the betterment of the world in which we live. Sincerely,
Nathaniel Glover, Jr. President
