A Letter From College Hill
Whether you have arrived here from down the holler or from across the ocean, you are walking onto a hilltop where teachers know your name, where the line between classroom and laboratory is delightfully thin, and where the question is never simply What will I do for a living? but What life is worth living?
An Alderson Broaddus education is not a transaction. It is a covenant — between a young person and the long history of teachers, ministers, and healers who have stood on this hilltop before them.
From our pioneering Physician Assistant program — the first of its kind in the United States when it was founded in 1968 — to our nationally accredited School of Nursing, our equestrian center on the ridge, our Battler athletics teams, and our beloved Wilcox Chapel where we still gather every Tuesday morning, AB is a place where the practical and the eternal meet.
We are not the largest university in West Virginia. We have never tried to be. But for 155 years, we have been one of its most faithful — and we are just getting started.
