Discover <strong>Hendrix</strong><br />

<strong>Hendrix</strong> is on a journey to national leadership in<br />

engaged liberal arts and sciences education. Led<br />

by our flagship Odyssey Program and supported<br />

by The <strong>Hendrix</strong> Campaign, we have been charting<br />

progress, writing history, and making a difference<br />

in the lives of our students and the world.<br />

<strong>Hendrix</strong> is a <strong>College</strong> that engages students in the<br />

active pursuit of knowledge. Our students work<br />

closely with their faculty mentors, shaping their<br />

learning experiences to reflect their personal<br />

interests and challenging themselves to stretch<br />

beyond what they thought possible.<br />

This commitment to engaged learning is part<br />

of the history and fabric of <strong>Hendrix</strong> <strong>College</strong>. It<br />

is now the cornerstone of a curricular initiative<br />

called Your <strong>Hendrix</strong> Odyssey: Engaging in Active<br />

Learning.<br />

Through the Odyssey program we guarantee that<br />

every <strong>Hendrix</strong> student will have at least three<br />

specific active learning experiences, drawn from<br />

six categories. In addition to the personal benefit<br />

students receive by linking critical thought with<br />

action, <strong>Hendrix</strong> will also provide an experiential<br />

learning transcript to each graduate.<br />

We believe this new credential will be a valuable<br />

addition to our graduates’ portfolios, whether<br />

their next move in life is to continue their education<br />

in graduate school or to enter the workforce.<br />

The <strong>Hendrix</strong> Motto<br />

“Unto the whole person” The <strong>Hendrix</strong> seal appeared<br />

for the first time on the cover of the 1898<br />

catalog. The seal included the <strong>College</strong>’s motto, selected<br />

by a committee headed by the Rev. George<br />

W. Hill and taken from a passage in Ephesians:<br />

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith and of<br />

the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect<br />

man unto the measure of the stature of the<br />

fullness of Christ ...” (Ephesians 4:13, King James<br />

Version). Currently translated as “unto the whole<br />

person,” the motto, in Ancient Greek, reflects<br />

<strong>Hendrix</strong>’s dedication to both Christian principles<br />

and the traditional liberal arts ideal.<br />

National Recognition<br />

<strong>Hendrix</strong> has a long and proud tradition of<br />

national recognition. As early as 1900 <strong>Hendrix</strong><br />

was recognized by the U.S.<br />

Office of Education as having<br />

higher standards for admission<br />

and graduation than any other<br />

institution of higher learning<br />

in Arkansas. That recognition<br />

continues today as numerous<br />

journals and college guides<br />

recognize the impact of Your<br />

<strong>Hendrix</strong> Odyssey: Engaging in<br />

Active Learning on American<br />

higher education.<br />
