MANHATTANVILLE COLLEGE’S MISSION

To educate students to be ethical and socially responsible leaders in a global community.

We are committed to: Ensuring the intellectual, ethical, and social development of each student within a community of engaged scholars and teachers; Encouraging each student to develop as an independent and creative thinker in pursuing career and personal goals; and Providing a diverse, inclusive, and nurturing environment which develops in each student a commitment to service and leadership within a global community.

The carrying of the laurel chain, symbolic of victory and superior academic achievement, is a beautiful baccalaureate ritual of Manhattanville College. Two lines of underclass will file into the Chapel, carrying garlands, creating a path through which the seniors will then proceed. During ancient times the Greeks and Romans used similar laurel vines for their heroes’ wreaths.

MANHATTANVILLE ALMA MATER

ON THE HEIGHTS Arranged by Carmelo Comberiati, Ph.D., Department of Music

On the Heights so proudly standing, strong against the blue, High towers gleam commanding, loyal hearts beat true!

For Manhattanville sing proudly, swell the mighty song: ’Til the echoes ring out loudly, all the ages long.

From the Castle on the hilltop, up above the crowd, We hear tradition calling, valiant hearts are proud For Manhattanville sing proudly, swell the mighty song: ’Til the echoes ring out loudly, all the ages long.
