Emory & Henry College Named a 2021-2022 College of Distinction
Emory & Henry College has once again been recognized for its honorable commitment to engaged, hands-on education by Colleges of Distinction, a one-of-a-kind guide for college-bound students.
Colleges of Distinction’s selection process comprises a sequence of in-depth research and detailed interviews with the schools about each institution’s freshman experience and retention efforts alongside its general education programs, career development, strategic plan, student satisfaction, and more. As an institution whose primary goals are based on student success and satisfaction, Emory & Henry College confirms its honor as one of the renowned Colleges of Distinction.
Emory & Henry has also distinguished itself as a community dedicated to equal opportunity for all students, faculty, and staff. As an Equity & Inclusion College of Distinction, Emory & Henry understands that inclusion is just as important as diversity, ensuring that all students are given equal opportunity to thrive academically, personally, and professionally.
No matter the population breakdown, Emory & Henry educates its faculty and staff so that they can treat students fairly and with a conscious acknowledgment of their needs. Along with its welcoming community, Emory & Henry exceeds expectations from a student’s recruitment, throughout school, and beyond the completion of their degree.
“Emory & Henry has created a welcoming environment for underserved students,” said Tyson Schritter, Chief Operating Officer at Colleges of Distinction. “It’s a tremendous opportunity to highlight the noteworthy support offered for students who might not otherwise study and thrive on a college campus.”
Emory & Henry has excelled at having students graduate and enter the workforce with solid, well-developed critical thinking skills as well as the ability to adapt in an ever-changing society. Already honored as a College of Distinction for its high-impact approach to education, Emory & Henry has received specialized recognition in Business and Education. These additional accolades were borne out of a need for college curricula that are comprehensive not only in course material, but also in practical- and soft-skills development. Emory & Henry has met these needs with a blend of liberal arts education, program-specific training, and abundant opportunities for real-world application.
“We complete a thorough review of the programs in question before giving the awards,” added Schritter. “We’re looking for such qualities as accreditation, breadth of program, advising and mentoring, integration of career services, and successful outcomes for students. It’s wonderful to see how Emory & Henry really exemplifies these qualities.”
