Manchester UniversityMISSION STATEMENTManchester University respects the infinite worth of every individual and graduates persons of ability and conviction who draw upon their education and faith to lead principled, productive, and compassionate lives that improve the human condition.
HISTORYManchester University, founded in 1889, is an independent liberal arts university of the Church of the Brethren. In 2016-2017, 1,569 students from 26 states and 26 countries studied here.
Manchester University traces its origins to the Roanoke (Ind.) Classical Seminary founded by the United Brethren Church in 1860. The Seminary became Manchester College in 1889, when the school was moved to North Manchester. In 1895, members of the Church of the Brethren purchased the campus and this affiliation continues. Mount Morris College (Ill.) merged with Manchester College in 1932.
The University welcomes students of all faiths and celebrates its relationship with the Church of the Brethren. On July 1, 2012, Manchester College became Manchester University and, in fall 2012, students began studying at Manchester’s Fort Wayne campus, home of the Pharmacy and Pharmacogenomics Programs.
Manchester has been fully accredited since 1932 by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The Teacher Education Program is accredited by the Indiana Professional Standards Board and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. The Social Work Program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. The Athletic Training Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education. The Doctor of Pharmacy program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education.
VALUES STATEMENT As a community of higher education rooted in the liberal arts and the traditions of the Church of the Brethren, Manchester University values: l Learning, because high academic expectations in an environment combining liberal arts and professional preparation equip graduates to live healthy, productive and principled lives; l Faith, because our diverse faiths call us to make the world a kinder and better place, establish justice, build peace amid strife, and model lives of agape (selfless love), tikkun olam (repairing a broken world), and salam (peace); l Service, because committing self in service to others connects faith with action and abilities with convictions; l Integrity, because honesty and trust are the foundations of teaching and learning, enriching, enduring relationships, and strong communities; l Diversity, because understanding differences develops respect for ethnic, cultural and religious pluralism; an international consciousness; and an appreciation for the infinite worth of every person; and l Community, because a positive community sharpens self-identity, promotes acceptance of the demands of responsible citizenship, and transforms conflict into mutual respect.
TRADITIONEach year, immediately following commencement ceremonies, our new graduates receive a small oak tree from the Alumni Association. An iconic symbol of the University, the oak represents the University’s hope for our graduates – that they be strong, resilient and awe-inspiring, and that they rely on their deep roots to soar.

Academic dress, inspired centuries ago in Europe, has evolved in the United States since colonial times. Today most colleges and universities, including Manchester, observe the academic dress code of the American Council on Education.
A scholar’s highest degree determines the robe. Gowns for the master’s and doctoral degrees are usually ankle length and, for bachelor’s and master’s degrees, untrimmed. A doctor’s degree gown is more elaborate, with velvet facing and three velvet bars on full, bell-shaped sleeves.
Mortarboards are the standard headwear except for persons with doctorates who may chose a soft, rounded tam. Hoods, once worn on the head for warmth, are now draped over the shoulders and are longer for doctors than for masters.
Colors help tell the story. The color of the hood lining indicates the university where the graduate degree was earned. The color of the hood trim, satin for masters and velvet for doctorates, identifies the scholar’s field. For those with doctorates, the velvet facing and bars of the gown may be black or the color of the academic discipline. Once only black, the gown itself can now be in the color of the university awarding the degree.

Pharmacy Graduation with DistinctionStudents graduating with Latin honors wear gold cords draped around the neck. To graduate with distinction, a candidate for the Doctor of Pharmacy degree must have completed a minimum of 147 semester hours and accumulated a GPA at or above 3.5. There are three levels of graduation with honors: summa cum laude (with highest honors) requires a GPA of 3.9 to 4.0; magna cum laude (with high honors) requires a GPA of 3.7 to 3.89; and cum laude (with honors) requires a GPA of 3.5 to 3.69.
Undergraduate and Master of Science in Pharmacogenomics Graduation with DistinctionStudents graduating with Latin honors wear gold cords. Summa cum laude (highest honors) requires a grade point average of 3.950 to 4.000; magna cum laude (high honors) requires a GPA of 3.850 to 3.949; and cum laude (honors) requires a GPA of 3.65 to 3.849. At least 96 semester hours in residence at MU are required for a baccalaureate degree and 42 for a Master of Science in Pharmacogenomics.
The honors diploma is awarded to seniors who have maintained a grade point average of at least 3.5, completed fifteen semester hours of honors coursework, and successfully completed an individualized honors project of no less than three additional semester hours. Students graduating with the honors diploma wear an Honors Program graduate medallion engraved with the University crest.
Alpha Mu Gamma - National Collegiate Foreign Language Honor Society. The cord colors are gold.
Beta Beta Beta (Tri-Beta) - Biology Honors Society. The cord colors are blood red (zoology) and leaf green (botany).

DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS
John Prendergast is a human rights activist and best-selling author who has worked for peace in Africa for more than 30 years. He is the founding director of the Enough Project, an initiative to end genocide and other crimes against humanity.
During the Clinton Administration, Prendergast was involved in a number of peace processes in Africa while he was director of African Affairs at the National Security Council and special advisor at the Department of State. He also has worked for members of Congress, the United Nations, humanitarian aid agencies, human rights organizations and think tanks.
He has authored eight books on Africa, including Not on Our Watch, a bestseller that he co-authored with actor Don Cheadle. He also serves as the executive
director of the Not on Our Watch foundation, founded by Cheadle, George Clooney, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt.
His op-eds have appeared in numerous national publications. He has appeared in the film, “The Good Lie,” starring Reese Witherspoon and on four episodes of “60 Minutes” as well as other television news shows.
Under the Enough Project umbrella, John co-founded, with Clooney, the Satellite Sentinel Project, which aims to prevent conflict and human rights abuses through satellite imagery. With Tracy McGrady and other NBA stars, John launched the Darfur Dream Team Sister Schools Program to fund schools in Darfurian refugee camps. He conceived the Raise Hope for Congo Campaign, highlighting the issue of conflict minerals that fuel war there. And he also helped direct the Sudan Now campaign, which supported the holding of a peaceful referendum for South Sudan.
