A Message from Dr. Pamela Fox

There is a deep spirit of place at Mary Baldwin. It affords you personalized opportunities for growth and transformation. As a learning-centered community, we are focused on individualized inspiration and guidance. True to our historic mission, the Mary Baldwin Commitment ensures that you will cultivate the type of rich, total learning experience required for our complex and rapidly evolving world. The power of personalized transformation characterizes Mary Baldwin’s rich constellation of programs, from our unique residential curricula to our Adult Degree Program and innovative graduate degrees.

If you're a student, I encourage you to discover and deepen your passions. Experiment with a wide array of classes, spend time with your professors and advisors, and take some risks so that you open the opportunities for expanded horizons. It is also important that you make careful choices and reflect upon your decisions. Seek connections between your classes, your leadership opportunities, and your out-of-class activities. Academic Advising, The Writing Center, the Learning Skills Center, the Rosemarie Sena Center for Student Life and Career Development, and the Carpenter Quest Program will facilitate this integrative process. Set high expectations for yourself.

Mary Baldwin nurtures the leadership abilities inherent in each of us. We value intellectual honesty and civic responsibility. The rich diversity of human experience and the power of our imagination and creativity fuel the true aspiration of a 21st century liberal education—to liberate our minds, hearts, and dreams.
