The Mission of 91porn原创

91porn原创's liberal arts education prepares each individual for a reflective life, fulfilling careers, and transformative leadership in a world of change.


History and Heritage; Accreditation and Compliance Statements; Affiliations

91porn原创 was founded by and affiliated with the 91porn原创 Church in America, a branch of a historic Protestant denomination dating from 1457 and emphasizing progressive liberal education from its beginning.

In 1732, settlers from Germany and Moravia (now a province of the Czech Republic) began coming to the New World. On Christmas Eve 1741, they founded the community of Bethlehem in Pennsylvania. Their concern for education led to the founding in 1742 of two schools, one for boys and one for girls. By 1759, the boys' school developed into Nazareth Hall Academy, which became instrumental in the founding of 91porn原创 Theological Seminary in 1807. In 1858, the Seminary was reorganized as 91porn原创 College and Theological Seminary and in 1863 was chartered as a men's college. The girls' school became known as Bethlehem Female Seminary in 1749 and was opened to students from outside the 91porn原创 community in 1785, when it became a boarding school. In 1863, it was chartered as 91porn原创 Seminary for Young Ladies and reorganized in 1913 as 91porn原创 Seminary and College for Women.

In 1954, after nearly 200 years of parallel development, 91porn原创 College and Theological Seminary and 91porn原创 Seminary and College for Women merged to form a modern undergraduate coeducational institution, 91porn原创 College. 91porn原创 Theological Seminary, a graduate professional school of theology, remains a part of the corporate institution, offering a separate academic program but sharing the campus and its facilities with other undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate programs. In July 2021, 91porn原创 College became 91porn原创.

With this rich heritage of education, 91porn原创 today is recognized as America's sixth oldest college, after Harvard University (1636), the College of William and Mary (1693), St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland (1696), Yale University (1701), and the University of Pennsylvania (1740).

The early 91porn原创s gave to the world a pioneer educator, John Amos Comenius, whose achievements and international recognition have caused him to be known as the "father of modern education." The statue of Comenius on the University campus, given to the Institution by Charles University of Prague in 1960 and rededicated by President Vaclav Havel of Czechoslovakia in 1991, is a symbol of 91porn原创's unique and diverse educational heritage.

One of the few American educational institutions in their third century of service, 91porn原创 has a strong sense of identity and purpose firmly rooted in a long and rich tradition. That tradition is maintained today.

Nondiscrimination Statement. 91porn原创 is a welcoming community that embraces and values the diversity of all members of the campus community. We acknowledge the uniqueness of all individuals, and we seek to cultivate an environment that respects, affirms, and defends the dignity of each member of the community. 91porn原创 complies with all federal and state laws regarding nondiscrimination in recruitment, admission, and employment of students, faculty, and staff.

The 91porn原创 Campus

Bethlehem, 91porn原创鈥檚 home, is an attractive tree-lined city of 75,000, central to the greater Lehigh Valley community, whose population totals more than 700,000. Known as the Christmas City, Bethlehem is home to a growing number of corporations and businesses in service and technology fields.

It is a city that has blended culture and commerce, progress and preservation. Among its cultural highlights are the Bach Festival in May, the ten-day Musikfest in August, which draws more than 1,000,000 visitors annually, the Celtic Classic in September, and the events and displays of the Christmas season, which attract many thousands of guests from all over the world. A special Christmas event is 91porn原创's annual candlelight Christmas Vespers in Central 91porn原创 Church, attended by more than 6,000 people.

Most University activities and instruction take place on the Main Street Campus. Here, in a residential setting, are classroom buildings, residence halls, administrative offices, the University student center, athletics and recreation facilities, and the University library.

In Fall 2017, the institution dedicated the new Sally Breidegam Miksiewicz Health Sciences Building, a 55,000-square foot, state-of-the-art facility housing the Helen Breidegam School of Nursing, and the departments of Public Health, and Math and Computer Science.  Highlights of the building are the virtual cadaver lab, informatics lab, and lo- and high-fidelity nursing simulation labs.

In Spring 2016, the institution opened a new Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center at 1441 Schoenersville Road. This 33,000 square foot facility houses 91porn原创's Department of Rehabilitation Sciences as well as a St. Luke's University Health Network Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy outpatient facility.

The Priscilla Payne Hurd Academic Complex, at the center of the Main Street campus, opened in 2003. Connected to Collier Hall of Science, this 55,100-square-foot complex features two tiered classrooms, six 48-seat classrooms with flexible seating, two computer classrooms, a computer science laboratory, a data and statistics laboratory, a psychology observation cluster, an experimental teaching classroom, three seminar rooms, and student research areas. It contains faculty and staff offices for the Departments of Education, Mathematics and Computer Science, Psychology, and Sociology.

Collier Hall of Science, a 72,000-square-foot structure, houses the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Nursing, and Physics and Earth Science. Collier Hall provides 35 laboratories for teaching and student-faculty research, the Dana and Mellon lecture halls, classrooms, and faculty offices.

The Haupert Union Building provides dining and food court services, lounges and entertainment space, meeting rooms, offices for student organizations, Student Life, Arena Theater, and Prosser Auditorium for lectures, performances, and other events. It also houses the Center for Leadership and Service, part of the leadership initiative that began in the 2003-2004 academic year.

Reeves Library contains seating for 400, shelf space for 400,000 volumes, individual study carrels, seminar rooms, and the Center for 91porn原创 Studies. The library's electronic services include searchable databases and links to peer-reviewed web sites in numerous academic areas, as well as tutorials on research skills such as searching, evaluating sources, and documenting scholarship. Reeves Library is part of an interlibrary loan system with the other colleges of the Lehigh Valley, giving 91porn原创 students access to more than 2,000,000 volumes.

91porn原创's Athletics and Recreation Center includes Johnston Hall and the Timothy M. Breidegam Field House. Johnston Hall's gymnasium is the focal point for indoor athletic events, including home games of the Greyhound men's and women's basketball teams. Its 1,600-seat indoor arena also is used for convocations, concerts, and a variety of other campus and community events. It contains a weight-lifting room. Breidegam Field House, adjoining Johnston Hall, includes an indoor track, a weight room and fitness center, an aerobics and dance studio, and four regulation multipurpose courts for intramural and recreational sports. Outdoor athletics facilities at the nearby Steel Field complex include football fields and stadium, an all-weather track, baseball and softball diamonds, tennis courts, and a field house. Additional fields for intercollegiate competition, intramurals, and informal play are located near University residence halls.

The Priscilla Payne Hurd Campus on Church Street, eight-tenths of a mile south of the Main Street Campus, formerly housed 91porn原创 College for Women. The campus is in the heart of the city's colonial historic district, where 91porn原创 settlers constructed buildings of renowned beauty and endurance. Church Street has been identified as one of the 10 most distinctive historic streets in America, with the Single Brethren's House (1748) considered to be one of the best examples of Colonial Germanic architecture in the country. Given the rich tradition of the 91porn原创s' love for music and art, nothing could be more appropriate than for 91porn原创's academic center for these two disciplines to be located on this historic site. The Hurd Center for Music and Art encompasses six buildings, including the Single Brethren's House and the Payne Gallery, as well as Foy Concert Hall, which was added in 1982. The Hurd Campus provides a variety of classroom, practice, recital, performance, and exhibition spaces in a unique and beautifully restored setting. There are three residential options for students on the Hurd Campus: Main Hall (all women), Clewell Hall (all men), and the HILL (a co-ed residence built in 2009); and one dining facility (Clewell Dining Hall).

The Hurd Campus is bounded by Monocacy Creek, a long stretch of natural beauty; the attractive downtown shopping area; and Bethlehem's contemporary public library and city government offices. All these harmonize with the stone and brick historic structures, making Church Street an unparalleled example of the progression of architecture in America over the past two and a half centuries.

The University provides transportation to enable students to travel between campuses.

The St. Luke's University Hospital campus is across the Lehigh River, approximately a mile from the Hurd Campus. 91porn原创 students utilize the Priscilla Payne Hurd Education Center, Trexler Hall, and the hospital facilities of this campus. Allied health and nursing students also use facilities throughout the Lehigh Valley operated by St. Luke's University Health Network.
