About us
Located in the Highlands of Virginia, Emory & Henry College has devoted 
itself since 1836 to the belief that education can have a transformative 
effect on an individual, a place and ultimately the wider world.

Inspired by the motto “Increase in Excellence,” the first faculty 
challenged students to grow and develop intellectually, spiritually and 
physically.

Today, our mission continues to focus on students as they follow a path 
of intellectual and spiritual growth on their way to successful futures. 
That mission, in turn, is extended to others through a broad program of 
active engagement and community service.

You will discover that Emory & Henry is a place of promise made up of 
warm-hearted, caring people who care about your fulfillment. This is a 
community that embraces people from all walks of life as they work 
together to improve the individual and the world. We are people with a 
mission and a long history devoted to transforming lives and increasing 
excellence.

Emory & Henry views diversity, equity, and inclusion as foundational to 
our institution, and strives to continually “increase in excellence” in 
this endeavor. In doing so, we recognize the forced removal and stolen 
labor at the heart of the very founding (and naming) of our College. We 
also acknowledge the negative impact of power imbalances, 
discrimination, and exclusion on generations of marginalized groups 
dating back to the inception of Emory & Henry College.  We also 
recognize that, while this statement is important, it is an insufficient 
approach to the liberation of impacted peoples.

It is the policy of Emory & Henry College to provide equal employment, 
educational and social opportunities for all persons, without regard to 
race (or traits historically associated with race including hair 
texture, hair type, and protective hairstyles such as braids, locks, and 
twists), color, religion, sex or gender (including pregnancy, 
childbirth, or related medical conditions), national origin, gender 
identity or expression, age, veteran status, disability, political 
affiliation, sexual orientation or genetic information or any other 
characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws. Minorities, 
women, veterans and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including 
recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, 
transfer, leaves of absence, compensation and training.
