“The most important thing any university can do is connect with its students and mold them into the people they are called to be,” said President Evans P. Whitaker, Ph.D. “For that reason, I am immensely honored that Anderson University’s students recognize their college experience as joyful, purpose-driven and transformative. Everyone at AU, from our alumni and friends to our faculty and staff, places a great deal of importance on creating a culture where everyone is an insider, and no one feels like an outsider. To see that effort bear fruit in the lives of our students, and by the recognition of prestigious organizations, makes me incredibly proud.”
