Additional Information

Every school has a motto. Educate for Service is so much more than that. You won’t just read those words across our campus or find them in our College seal. You’ll live them. Commitment to service can be found through academic research, service trips across the world, and community-based projects close to home. Our motto also means that we consider the repercussions of the choices we make in pursuit of our life and career goals. Service is never a requirement at Etown. It’s a privilege.
