Pfeiffer University- Misenheimer School Description

Pfeiffer University is a comprehensive United Methodist-related university, with multiple campuses and delivery systems, committed to educational excellence, service, and scholarship. Within nurturing communities of learners, we value diversity and promote the attainment of full academic and personal potential through accessible undergraduate and graduate programs. It is the vision of the university that our students embrace the Christian values of human dignity, integrity, and service and become servant leaders and lifelong learners.

Pfeiffer University first opened its doors in 1885 as a mission school founded to provide an education to students who had few opportunities for formal learning. Much has changed over the years, but Pfeiffer continues to emphasize the “service before self” principles on which we were built.

True to our history, Pfeiffer has made affordability one of its highest priorities and works with students to address financial limitations. Over 90 percent of Pfeiffer’s students receive some form of financial assistance.

Pfeiffer’s emphasis continues to be servant leadership. The three areas through which the University seeks to provide personal growth and academic knowledge for our students are Christian service, service or engaged learning, and co-curricular development. Pfeiffer’s Bonner Leaders program, through which students receive educational scholarships based on hours of community service, is the largest in the country. Our students participate in a variety of community service projects throughout the year, including tutoring and mentoring at area schools, building Habitat for Humanity homes, volunteering at area nursing homes, and providing service to any number of local non-profit agencies. Many of our students also participate in alternative fall and spring break mission trips, which this year has taken students to hurricane-struck Florida and an upcoming trip to Cuba.

A new state-of-the-art science laboratory facility, a new residence hall and a completely transformed south side of campus have continued to enhance an already student-friendly campus.

Misenheimer is located in the southern Piedmont of North Carolina, less than an hour northeast of Charlotte.

Pfeiffer University- Misenheimer

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Pfeiffer University is a private university located in the village of Misenheimer near Richfield, North Carolina.

History

Pfeiffer originated from a home school operated by Miss Emily Prudden in the late 19th century. In or around 1885 the school first began operation in the village of Lick Mountain in Caldwell County, North Carolina as the Ebenezer Mitchell Home and School (in honor of the family that made improvements to the property that the school owned).

A fire destroyed the school in 1908 and it moved to the nearby town of Lenoir. As that location proved inadequate, the school again relocated in 1910, this time to its current location in Misenheimer. High school diplomas began being issued by the school in 1913.

In 1928 the Mitchell school began offering junior college classes and was accredited as such in 1934. It was that year that the Pfeiffer family of New York City gave generous financial gifts to the school for construction of new buildings, and it was then that the name Pfeiffer Junior College was used.

During the 1950s the school began offering senior college courses. The four-year Pfeiffer College was accredited in 1960 during the administration of Dr. J. Lem Stokes II, President.

Pfeiffer opened a satellite campus in Charlotte, approximately forty miles away, in 1977.

In 1996 the college's trustees voted to re-organize to achieve university status, and the current name of Pfeiffer University was adopted.
