Welcome to Randolph-Macon College's 175th Anniversary Web
site!
Nearly two centuries ago, Randolph-Macon College was born
of a need that the United Methodist Church had for educated
ministers to spread their new faith in the new republic.
Since its founding in 1830, the mission of the college has
been to develop the minds and characters of young men and
women who come to Randolph-Macon from all over the United
States and throughout the world. Through personal interaction
that occurs between our faculty and students, this "hand
cultivation" has bonded relationships that last a lifetime.
Randolph-Macon promotes the freedom and confidence that a
liberal arts education instills in students who leave the
college as leaders and life-long learners. Our graduates have
made their marks in the halls of government, in boardrooms,
operating rooms and classrooms. Some have achieved financial
prosperity and others popular acclaim. Most have made a difference
in their communities. All share a bond in that Randolph-Macon
nurtured their dreams and helped them take the steps that
made these dreams a reality. These bonds, these dreams and
these achievements are the intangibles that connect graduates, faculty
and staff of the college across generations.
This 175th anniversary Web site is a celebration of these
moments of connection. We hope you will take the time to browse
through the history of Randolph-Macon, enjoy special celebrations and
events, and take a moment to share your own special memories.
