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 />
