150 years ago, Juniata’s founders envisioned a college where people could “acquire useful knowledge” and prepare themselves “for whatever calling in life their inclinations profess.” As the 12th president, I am entrusted with carrying forward that mission—one shared by our 15,000 alumni, students, faculty, and staff. Together, we pursue a timeless goal: to cultivate the skills and habits of mind needed to engage the world, ask meaningful questions, and serve a greater good through our work, communities, and citizenship. 

At Juniata, we promise to be our students’ partners in discovery and growth. They will face challenges and opportunities that call for courage, hard work, and self-discovery—emerging with the confidence and abilities to meet an evolving world. Our reach extends globally through more than 60 partners in 26 nations, a diverse campus community, and membership in organizations devoted to academic, athletic, and service excellence. Whether you know Juniata well or are discovering it anew, I invite you to explore our story and join us as we continue to shape the horizons ahead.
