AbOut HAnOVer COllege
Hanover is a liberal arts institution where brains and beauty truly intersect. The outdoorsy campus is nestled near the banks of the scenic Ohio River (see M: Madison). The College was founded in 1827 and is the oldest private college in Indiana. An easy drive from several metropolitan areas, Hanover is the perfect place to combine one of our core strengths (see B: Business Scholars Program, E: Education and H: HBSP) with any of our 32 majors or the one you design yourself! (see A: Academics).
No other campus has 650 acres of woodlands, waterfalls and streams practically next to your dorm. It’s one of the reasons Hanover has been named one of the nation’s most beautiful campuses over and over again (see P: Point). You can enjoy the natural beauty of campus by watching an early morning sunrise, hiking to a waterfall or relaxing in a hammock outside on a sunny day.

Simply put, the Business Scholars Program (BSP) combines any of Hanover’s majors with business. want to major in art and learn how to manage a gallery or oversee environmental programs at a national park as a geology major? The BSP adds practical business fundamentals such as management, accounting, financial decisionmaking and business strategies to the knowledge you gain in your chosen discipline.
You’re also guaranteed a paid, project-based summer internship tailored to your area of interest. Even more, you’ll also learn how to perfect your resume and present yourself in an interview through workshops and coaching by corporate-trained faculty. Maybe that’s why the BSP is Hanover’s largest academic program.
BILL BettLer
Professor of Communication
A two-time Baynham Award-winning (Hanover’s most prestigious teaching award) (see R: Darrin Rubino) professor of communication, Dr. Bill Bettler, uses his expertise in music and pop culture to win the hearts of students in the classroom and on stage. Bill joins Dr. Craig Philip (chemistry) to make up Hanover’s most popular campus band, The Green Room; only to be rivaled by Pawnshop Guitar, led by Jim Hickerson, our director of campus safety (see C: Campus Safety). See more at hanover.edu/bill.
Once on campus, one of the first things you need to do is hike to Buddha’s Belly. You may get a little muddy on the way, but the view will be worth it! Buddha’s Belly is a waterfall deep in the woods that’s on top of a huge, round rock that is as round as the belly of the Great Buddha. On a warm day, you’re guaranteed to see it on someone’s Snapchat story.
Jim Hickerson, Director of Campus Safety
Campus safety
Picture this: You’re walking to your car for a quick run to Hinkle’s and your battery is dead. Don’t panic! Jim Hickerson has your back. It’s easy to feel safe on campus when Jim, a former Indiana State Police officer and commander for 32 years, is just a phone call away. Jim and his crew are there for real emergencies, or if you simply want someone to walk you home after a late night at the library.

If you’ve got a weak stomach, stop reading now. Let’s talk bodies. At Hanover, you don’t learn anatomy from a book and you don’t have to wait until you’re in grad school to get hands-on with a cadaver. we’re the only school in Indiana that offers undergraduate access to a cadaver. Grab some gloves and a scalpel, class starts in 10. (see H:HBSP)

Enhance your classroom experience through a Richter Grant to study off-campus or abroad (see R: Richter Grants or S: Study Abroad), a dream internship (see I: Internships) or co-op with such organizations as the u.S. Secret Service or Goldman Sachs, or a directed study on a topic that you create (see R: Research).
There is life beyond the mini fridge! Hanover offers you four options for sustenance. Start your morning with a double expresso from the Coffee Shop. For a meal on the run, stop and grab a Papa John’s pizza or sandwich from the underground. Head to the Campus Center for your choice of a traditional meal (there’s always extra chicken nuggets!), vegan dish or locally grown produce. Finally, after class, join your friends for karaoke or bingo in the Shoebox, our on-campus pub that serves amazing mozzarella sticks, onion rings and milkshakes.

Get your phone out because you’re going to want to Instagram this amazing view. The Point is our most scenic landmark (see A: Acres), and it’s the only place you can see three bends of the Ohio River (a great Jeopardy question!). In fact, some students will beg their professors to have class here.
the quad
The Quad is another iconic spot on campus. while it’s the place to be on beautiful days to play frisbee or lay out in the sun, it’s also where the campus-wide snowball fight erupts on the night of the first snowfall every year!
Regardless of the weather, you’ll run into your friends, professors walking their dogs and even President Lambert and his family. whether you’re chilling in a hammock, walking a slackline or playing bubble soccer, you’ll always feel Hanover’s strong sense of community surrounding you.
At Hanover, we know that your ambitions go beyond the four years you will spend here. To feed your hunger for success, we have spent years forming partnerships with graduate schools and employers within the region and across the country. Are you going to be a nurse? Grab one of our five guaranteed spots in each class at Valparaiso university’s accelerated nursing program (see H: HBSP). How about an engineer? Pursue an internship (see I: Internships) or co-op with SuperATV, Grote or a Fortune 500 company like Cummins, Inc. Curing cancer more your thing? Engage in graduate-level research as an undergraduate student under some of the nation’s most respected doctors in our Physician Scientist Diversity Program at the Indiana university School of Medicine.
Customize your education. with a Richter Grant, study anything anywhere. Explore the impact of non-profits on their local communities in Nashville, Tennessee, or the cultures surrounding utopias of gender equality in Iceland or Sweden. You’re only limited by your aspirations.
darrIn
ruBIno
Professor of Biology
He’s a dendrochronologist. Google it. The region’s leading expert on tree rings, Dr. Darrin Rubino is arguably Hanover’s most charismatic and passionate professor. Need proof? He won the Karns Award for Scholarly and Creative Activity in 2014 and, like Bill (see B: Bill Bettler), he’s also won the Baynham Award twice.
Research papers are so high school. Here, research is your own. It means hours in the lab, international travel (see R: Richter Grants) and presenting at professional conferences. Master this art, and you will add your name to the list of Hanoverians who have earned Boren, Fulbright and Goldwater scholarships.
Think you can cut it as a spoken word artist or just have an interest in exploring the culture of urban poetry? Then Rhythm an Poetry Club (RAP) is for you (see C: Clubs). The group hosts poetry and graffiti slams, brings in guest artists like Nate Marshall and recognizes the talents of student performers to encourage self-expression through rhyme. Don’t miss a beat at hanover.edu/rap.
Chances are that studying abroad freaks your parents out. w hether it’s four weeks (see M: May Term) or four months, on your own (see R: Richter Grants) or with your favorite professor, in your first language or a foreign one - do it. If you can dream it, Hanover can take you there.

Besides holding the Hanover record for the heptathlon, she set the standard for the triple jump. Not impressed yet? She also finished 19th in the 2017 NCAA Division III Track and Field Championships. Not too shabby, huh? Keep reading at hanover.edu/savannah.

It also helps you choose courses that develop your individual skills. Plus, you’ll have until February of your second year to choose a field of study.

One way to enrich your college experience is to help others in need. Play with puppies at the Humane Society, help children at La Casa Amiga or aid the Jefferson County Clearinghouse. Join an on-campus service organization (see C: Clubs) like Love is Needed by Kids, College Mentors for Kids or Best Buddies. Service learning opportunities exist, too - you can even travel around the world for a week with Earthwide Outreach by Students (EOS) to complete a hands-on project in a community that needs help.

Home runs and stolen bases are a small part of Hanover’s most exciting time of year! Grab your roommate, lab partner or best friend and make a team! Ask any student, the annual Lambda Chi Alpha wiffleball Tournament is a blast, but it’s only one piece of Hanover’s unique May Term experience (see M: May Term).
Hanover’s version of a student union is called the withrow Activity Center. Grab a cup of coffee, play ping pong or pool and attend a pre-release movie night or campus-wide events like Viva Fest, the Mario Kart tournament or Vegas Night!

mI yunG yoon
Professor of International Studies
Ready to create change on a global scale?
Dr. Mi Yung Yoon can show you how. Her study of Korea-Africa relations not only earned her a Fulbright, but also connected her to some of the most influential people on the planet (see F: Issac Fokuo). Her students engage with these world leaders for her May Term course, a field study at the united Nations. A Karns Award winner (see R: Darrin Rubino), she’s also a recognized expert on the representation of women in politics of the developing world. For Mi Yung, teaching is more than imparting knowledge, it is inspiring change. Learn more at hanover.edu/miyung

That’s correct, there are no TAs here. This means that every lecture is given by a professor. Every question you ask is being answered by an expert in their field. Many of our faculty also live on campus, so don’t be surprised if your class is invited for a cookout or if your next study group is being held by your professor at their home.
