8 Message from the President
Message from the PresidentStetson University dares its undergraduate and graduate students to go beyond success – to go instead to significance. For more than 130 years,Stetson’s mission has remained constant, engaging students with rigorous academics and instilling civic values for life.
Stetson is an independent university offering a comprehensive education in the arts and sciences, business, law, and music. Founded in 1883 asFlorida’s first private university, Stetson today has four locations across Central Florida: DeLand, Celebration, Tampa, and Gulfport. The College of Arts& Sciences, the School of Business Administration, and the School of Music are on the historic campus in DeLand, a community-minded city betweenDaytona Beach and Orlando. The university also includes the Tampa Law Center, the College of Law in the Gulfport and St. Petersburg area, and theStetson University Center at Celebration just south of Orlando.
The university has achieved national distinction through special programs and accreditations. Stetson was the first private university in Florida to beawarded a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa--the nation’s oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honor society--and consistently earns high nationalrankings for academic excellence and community-engaged learning.
Stetson University’s mission is to provide a transformational education in a creative community where learning and values meet. Committed toscholarship and the liberal arts tradition, Stetson seeks to foster the qualities of mind and heart that will prepare students to reach their full potential asindividuals, informed citizens, and responsible participants in their local and global communities.
Stetson’s academic disciplines are unified by a profound commitment to interdisciplinary programs; teaching, values, and social responsibility; andthe pursuit of intellectual excellence. The teaching-learning process focuses on the whole person, sustaining deep engagement and dialogue amongstudents and faculty; active forms of citizenship; and social justice-based community engagement. The undergraduate student-faculty ratio is 12-to-1,which allows students and faculty to participate in innovative approaches to tackling complex challenges.
It is a privilege to serve as president of an institution that honors its heritage, while embracing innovation in an ever-changing world.
I encourage you to make the most of your Stetson experience. We are glad to have you with us!
Wendy B. Libby, Ph.DPresident

Stetson University 9
Mission, Values, and HeritageI. Educational MissionOur mission at Stetson University is to provide an excellent education in a creative community where learning and values meet and to foster in studentsthe qualities of mind and heart that will prepare them to reach their full potential as informed citizens of local and global communities.
At Stetson, the art of teaching is practiced through programs solidly grounded in a tradition of liberal learning that stimulates critical thinking, imaginativeinquiry, creative expression, and lively intellectual debate. The art of learning is enhanced through small interactive classes, close student-facultyalliances, and collaborative approaches that provide the foundation for rewarding careers and advanced study in selective graduate and professionalprograms. We embrace diverse methodologies to foster effective communication, information and technological literacy, and aesthetic appreciation. Weencourage the development of informed convictions, independent judgment, and lifelong commitments to learning that are characteristic features of theenlightened citizen. In bringing together learning and values, the university encourages all of its members to demonstrate personal integrity; to developan appreciation for the spiritual dimension of life; to embrace leadership in an increasingly complex, interdependent, and technological world; and tocommit to active forms of social responsibility.
II. Values
Stetson values the development of the whole person, one who is committed to building lifelong connections with the larger world through personalgrowth, intellectual development, and global citizenship. To that end, the university fosters policies, practices, and modes of inquiry to support andexplore these values.
Personal Growth encompasses the understanding that no single formula defines the journey to personal success, but the passion to increase self-knowledge and the quest for balance are important tools in this process. Intercultural competence, religious and spiritual exploration, self-awareness,and wellness are components of personal growth.
Intellectual Development is a commitment from the university and from students to achieve excellence in academics, to foster the spirit of explorationthat drives an engaged and active mind, to cultivate rigorous methods of academic inquiry, to model and support absolute integrity, and to valuecreativity and professionalism.
Global Citizenship is an important part of Stetson’s mission to prepare students to be informed, active, and engaged citizens of both local communitiesand the world. Global citizenship includes university and individual commitments to community engagement, diversity and inclusion, environmentalresponsibility, and social justice.
III. Heritage and CharacterFlorida’s first private university, Stetson University was founded as DeLand Academy in 1883 by Henry A. DeLand, a New York philanthropist. In 1887,the Legislature of the State of Florida enacted the Charter of DeLand University as an independent institution of higher learning. The university’s namewas changed in 1889 to honor John B. Stetson, the nationally known hat manufacturer who gave generously of his time and means to advance thequality and reputation of the institution and who served, alongside Mr. DeLand and others, as a founding trustee of the university. The first charter statedthe object of the university should be “to promote the general interests of education, and to qualify its students to engage in the learned professions orother employments of society, and to discharge honorably and usefully the various duties of life.” Stetson’s first president, Dr. John F. Forbes, clearlydescribed the commitment to teaching that has been a hallmark of the university throughout its history:
“Buildings, libraries and apparatus are good and give added power, but the vital contact of students with a vigorous and stimulating mind and heart--this is the sine qua non of a successful education . . . The most important thing is to find men and women of large heart and mind, apt to teach and fullof enthusiasm and stimulating power . . . to develop in the student the habit of independent judgment--of investigating statements and principles foroneself, and thus for oneself discover their truth or falsity.”
Today, Stetson University is a non-sectarian, comprehensive, private university composed of individually strong undergraduate programs in variouscolleges and schools and of a selected group of academically distinctive graduate, professional, and continuing education programs. We seekacademically talented individuals with leadership potential and records of personal growth and community service. We promote and support scholarlyand creative activity among students, faculty, and staff as a means to enhance learning, teaching, and professional development and as a contribution tothe broader base of knowledge.
