Student Affairs
Welcome to McKendree University!
As both the Dean of Students and a proud McKendree alum, it is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to our Bearcat family.
At McKendree, we believe every student holds extraordinary potential. Our commitment is to help you unlock that potential by offering the support, resources, and encouragement you need to succeed—both inside and outside the classroom. Academic excellence is a cornerstone of the McKendree experience, and our thoughtfully designed curriculum will challenge and inspire you to grow intellectually.
But your education here will extend far beyond books and lectures.
Through a wide range of services, organizations, and campus life opportunities, McKendree fosters a vibrant community that nurtures not only your academic development, but also your social, personal, spiritual, and ethical growth. We are dedicated to cultivating an environment where you can explore your passions, build meaningful relationships, and become part of a community of citizen-scholars.
The most important part of this community is you. We encourage you to embrace every opportunity, challenge yourself, and always lead with respect and integrity. Your time at McKendree will be what you make of it—and we are here to walk with you every step of the way.
Welcome home.
Warmly,
Jennifer R. Miller, Ed.S.
