Information for Parents

Mission of the University
The university is not simply a job factory. It seeks to cultivate and enrich the human mind and spirit and to shape adult society. Values, character and dreams are what the university is all about.

The university is also a marketplace of ideas. Many voices compete for students' attention.

Entering the Adult World
"The relationship between children and their parents is one that will last a lifetime. InterVarsity does all it can to encourage the growth of that relationship toward health, openness and mutual respect. The university is also a training ground for students to learn to interact as adults with other young adults growing toward independence. We join with you to help your sons and daughters listen to the right voices and to choose wisely."
--Alec Hill, President

What is InterVarsity?
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA® offers a Christian voice on campus and an environment where intellectual exchange joins moral discernment.

InterVarsity began in Great Britain in 1877; hence the unfamiliar name. We are a trans-denominational campus ministry dedicated to helping students integrate biblical faith and academic achievement. InterVarsity is not affiliated with any church denomination but welcomes students from all church backgrounds. We encourage students to develop mature patterns of devotional and community life and to participate in a local church during their college years and throughout their lives.
