24th President
Averett University

Welcome to the Averett University website. Thank you for taking the time to visit us online.

Averett is an inspiring place to learn, live and  work, with an impressive diversity of academic program offerings grounded in the liberal arts and influenced by a strong values-based educational experience. There is a wide range of traditional aged and adult students who come to Averett and whose lives are forever changed as a result. I am fortunate to work with talented faculty and staff who help students discover their own greatness. It is affirming that so many alumni and friends are so deeply devoted to Averett.

Averett University is a place with new vision and enduring values. As we move forward— establishing new opportunities for students, creating important connections with our alumni and friends, and serving this region as a full partner in its success—the heart of Averett remains the same. From our commitment to equipping students for the future, to our liberal arts tradition, to the sense of belonging and family orientation that we share—no matter what we do, those things remain paramount.

If you are considering making Averett your University of choice, I urge you to visit our campuses and talk with our faculty and staff.  Once here, I am certain you will feel the passion we have for serving you as you discover the power of an Averett education. To those of you who are graduates and friends of Averett, I invite you to reconnect and join with us taking pride in this remarkable university.

Please know that my door is open to you. I look forward to meeting and talking with you.
Best Wishes,

Through personal attention for all students, Averett prepares them for successful lives by encouraging each, in the liberal arts tradition, to ask and answer important questions, form and defend
judgments, and evaluate diverse views thoughtfully. In accordance with our Christian heritage, we value academic and religious freedom, spiritual growth, academic excellence, diversity, and tolerance.
