Letter From the President

Culver-Stockton College has a strong, clear mission: “Prepare students of promise for a dynamic world through a distinctive experiential curriculum within a supportive learning community founded upon the best values of faith and the human spirit.” There are many other words and phrases that could be used in a mission – servant leaders, respect and responsibility, care for humanity, stewardship of resources – all honorable traits. And while our mission cannot include all the honorable traits we strive for, the common bond of our students, faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, and donors results in all these things and more.

This edition of the Chronicle celebrates current students and alumni, who offer a living example of our mission – educators, medical professionals, mentors, entrepreneurs – forwardthinking individuals who understand the importance of connections and community, who endeavor to be servant leaders, who work to use resources in responsible ways, and who believe that the human spirit is worth lifting up.

I look forward to seeing you at Homecoming in October where we can come together and celebrate the human spirit and community that is Culver-Stockton College.

Dr. Douglas B. Palmer President
