Welcome from Our President                

Dr. Tim Summerlin, President

Greetings and welcome to the Schreiner University website. Reflecting the rapid pace of the digital age, this site is continuously evolving. It is our intention, however, to adhere to certain basics amid all of the change: we want to provide you with a site that is attractive, informative and easily navigable. Whatever your purpose in coming to www.schreiner.edu, whether to learn more about a college you recently heard about, to look up the baseball schedule, to answer questions about financial aid, or to review the Monday Night Fiction schedule, we look to give you the answers you need promptly. If you have thoughts on the website that you wish to share, feel free to do so to me at tsummerlin@schreiner.edu.

Several years ago, we adopted the motto "learning by heart" because we felt that it captured the institution’s heritage as a place where faculty threw themselves fully into instruction, where students were respected as complex human beings and where relationships were at the heart of the learning process. As time passes, the values suggested by that phrase seem only more relevant. But creating a learning environment in the twenty-first century requires comfort with the revolution created by the information age. That is why you will find engagement and interactive learning vigorously present in our programs too.


This site is designed to help you get where you need to be and to learn what you want to learn quickly. Get the facts on how to apply to Schreiner and access sources of financial aid. Schedule a visit. Meet some of our current students and faculty and learn how to get around the campus. Check the latest stories or upcoming athletic and cultural events. Find out the e-mail address of your old roommate. Research the academic program that interests you and contact a faculty member to learn more. Get better acquainted with the institution to which you are considering sending a job application. And, not least, make a donation to an institution whose work you truly believe in! We are always delighted to hear from you. I hope that what you see on the web will prompt you to come visit us in person, whether you are a prospective student or an alumnus who cannot believe how much the place has changed. Yes, it has, and, we hope, always for the better.

Schreiner is dedicated to nurturing individual learning that not only prepares students for successful careers, but also equips them for purposeful, humane and productive lives. For eighty-nine years, we have offered a values-based curriculum that has produced leaders in all walks of life. We are pleased that you are interested in learning more about us, because we may be exactly the right place for you.


   Sincerely,

 Visit Office of the President
