Every journey has its zigs and zags.

Along the way, Wittenberg illuminates what matters to you, and helps you prepare for whatever comes next. Watch the video to learn more about our time-tested and world-proven approach to education.

Each new experience is a chance to grow.

As a business owner, Quin Gable ’14, knows how it goes. Even when you sweat over every detail, sometimes life has a plan of its own. “You can’t think everything will be perfect – you won’t be able to think on your toes,” Gable says. “Without Wittenberg, I wouldn’t have the skills that helped me adapt and create.”

Traditions + Culture
Students in front of administration building

On a campus full of traditions, our favorite is a friendly “hello.”

In Springfield, Ohio, our Midwestern roots run deep. The result is a culture at Wittenberg that’s friendly, inclusive, and supportive throughout your time in college.

We all bring something bright into the world.

James Lesinski ’14 didn’t know exactly what to expect from the Washington Semester program, so it helped that Wittenberg advisors and professors were always on call – just like friends and mentors. Ten years later, he’s built a professional network in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he serves as legal counsel on policy and oversight.

Paying It Forward
Jason Gregory

You determine your own destiny (and your legacy).

No matter what you go through, says Jason Gregory’20, you can lead a life that inspires others. At Wittenberg, that’s exactly what he did to earn the Tharros Award for grit and perseverance. After graduation, Jason landed his dream job at the Springfield Metropolitan Housing Authority—the same system in which he grew up—helping families find their own paths to success. “Wittenberg helped bring out skills that I never thought I had in me,” he said.

See How Wittenberg Shines

Our motto is, ‘Having light, we pass it on to others.’ For nearly 180 years, we've helped our students 
seize their light and use their talents to lead fulfilling lives and meaningful careers.

Wittenberg has a tremendous academic reputation, which is one of the reasons I chose to come here after 11 years at another institution. My goal as a professor is to have the best-prepared students in terms of their knowledge and work ethic.”

Your first roommate, the people you have classes with, the people on your sports teams – they will be your backbone at Wittenberg. And since it’s a small school, you’ll have a chance to get close with them and connect on a different level than you would at a larger institution.”
