As chief academic officer, it is my privilege and great opportunity to oversee the exciting Christian liberal arts educational program that Westmont offers.  Solidly rooted in the evangelical tradition, today’s Westmont is built upon a nearly 75-year heritage of deep Christian commitment and rigorous academic study, and those twin pillars remain the hallmark of a Westmont education.  With a faculty that excels in teaching and scholarship, small classes, an increasingly diverse student body, numerous opportunities for off campus learning, low student-faculty ratio, classical liberal arts curriculum, and much more, Westmont is situated better than ever before to provide a truly distinctive undergraduate experience.  Liberal Arts, Christian, Residential, Undergraduate, Global – these are the marks of who we are and what we have been called to be for the sake of God’s kingdom in the 21st century.  What a challenging mission – but what a vital mission!
