Welcome to Schreiner!

If you have not already done so, you will hear about Schreiner University's commitment to the "whole person," to the growth of the individual intellectually, socially, spiritually and physically. We take this goal seriously, although we realize it is one that will require us continuously to improve.
Educating the whole person involves us all. As the university commits itself to your learning, we ask you to do the same. Your role is best expressed in the Schreiner Promise, featured prominently in the Student Handbook and across the campus. Please take time to read it and reflect on it. It is not lengthy, but it states a commitment essential to true learning.

Learning is about both the individual and the larger community. "Mutual respect, concern for others, and academic integrity" are among the cornerstones of this activity. As you become a part of the Schreiner University community, we encourage you to make your commitment to these values. When we do that together, we create an environment in which learning occurs all the time, in class and outside.
We are happy to have you a part of Schreiner.

Sincerely,

Tim Summerlin
Schreiner University President

Dear Student,

Because there are so many new things to learn when you first come to college, this guide is designed to highlight some of the important services and resources on campus in an informal and "reader friendly" way. As you look through the Guide, I hope you will spend some time reviewing the many student organizations listed and pick out one or two in which you wish to be involved.

One of our newest student organizations is S.C.O.P., Schreiner Community Outreach Program. Through this group you will work with other students in volunteer projects both on campus and in the Kerrville community. We also have two new national social fraternities and will be adding national sororities in the spring term. There are a number of organizations affiliated with academic majors if you are interested in learning more about a career field and meeting other majors. Also, Student Senate and Program Board are always looking for volunteers who want to help develop programs and services for the campus.

As you settle in, you will have many questions and probably even a few struggles. Please do not hesitate to let others know when you need assistance. My door is always open or you can e-mail me at palayton@schreiner.edu or call 830-792-7277. Best wishes for a memorable year.

Warmest regards,

Peg Layton
Dean of Students
