 As you explore this Web site, you will glimpse the power of an Averett education at work. You'll discover a place where scholars challenge students' intellect and nurture their potential, where people with a diversity of ideas and backgrounds meet and become friends for life and where a Christian heritage of integrity, honesty and respect is valued.
As I approach retirement and the end of my five-year tenure as Averett's president, I'm reminded of what drew me to this University. We are a campus community with a long-standing tradition of teaching students how to be successful. Our graduates lead — in their careers and in service to their communities. I encourage you to become part of this tradition of success. We have worked hard to embody what it means to be a place that teaches success, values diversity and honors our Christian heritage. I invite you to learn more about these important hallmarks of an Averett education. Whether you are visiting our Web site to find the perfect college fit, or are an alumnus interested in the latest news, I encourage you to share with me your thoughts and ideas about Averett University. Wishing you much success, |
 Averett University, founded in 1859, offers courses of study leading to bachelor's and master's degrees in Danville and at regional centers in Virginia. 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. |
