MUHLENBERG COLLEGE

Located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Muhlenberg College is an independent, coeducational, private liberal arts institution that has, since its founding in 1848, been affiliated with the Lutheran Church. The name “Muhlenberg” was adopted in honor of the “patriarch” of the Lutheran Church in America, Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, and his family. The sons of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg made important contributions to the early life of our country. The College values its long affiliation with the Lutheran Church (ELCA), as well as the religious diversity of its student body.

MISSION

Muhlenberg College aims to develop independent critical thinkers who are intellectually agile, characterized by a zest for reasoned and civil debate, committed to understanding the diversity of the human experience, able to express ideas with clarity and grace, committed to life-long learning, equipped with ethical and civic values, and prepared for lives of leadership and service. The College is committed to providing an intellectually rigorous undergraduate education within the context of an inclusive and diverse campus; we strongly believe that diversity is essential to learning and to our success as a pluralistic community. Muhlenberg’s curriculum integrates the traditional liberal arts with selected pre-professional studies. Faculty are passionate about teaching, value close relationships with students, and are committed to the pedagogical and intellectual importance of research. All members of our community are committed to educating the whole person through experiences within and beyond the classroom. Honoring its historical heritage from the Lutheran Church and its continuing connection with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Muhlenberg encourages, welcomes, and celebrates a variety of faith traditions and spiritual perspectives.

THE COLLEGE

Muhlenberg stands out from other liberal arts institutions in many ways, particularly due to the deep sense of community across the campus. Faculty, staff and students embrace this spirit of belonging in ways large and small. Muhlenberg College is dedicated to shaping creative, compassionate, collaborative leaders through rigorous academic programs in the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences, and select pre-professional programs. Within a year of graduation 90% of Muhlenberg graduates are either enrolled in graduate or professional school or employed. Acceptance rates by medical and law schools typically range between 80% and 90% each year.

As part of eastern Pennsylvania’s scenic Lehigh Valley, nestled in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains, Allentown is a diverse city of 122,000, located 60 miles north of Philadelphia and 90 miles west of New York City. Along with neighboring Bethlehem and Easton, the region is home to a vibrant arts scene, a nationally unique parks system, and a rich blend of cuisine and diverse restaurants. The campus is set on 75 acres in West Allentown. To the south, the campus is bordered by Cedar Creek and Cedar Beach Park, with its beloved public gardens, picnic areas, and outdoor sculpture.

STUDENTS

Though the majority of Muhlenberg students come from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, thirty-one states, the District of Columbia, and six foreign countries are currently represented in the student population.

For Academic Year 20-21, the percent of students receiving PELL (for all undergraduates) is 18.8%. Muhlenberg is a welcoming community for LGBTQ+ students, faculty and staff.

PRESIDENT

The Muhlenberg College Board of Trustees unanimously elected Kathleen E. Harring, Ph.D., president of Muhlenberg College in June of 2020, following her year as interim president. President Harring’s leadership during the global pandemic has required difficult decisions about how to adapt college life to rapidly evolving conditions. Board chair Richard C. Crist, Jr. described President Harring as “truly the right person at the right time to lead our great institution. She has the wisdom, experience, and energy to guide the College through these challenging times and into a bright future.” A member of the Muhlenberg College faculty since 1984, President Harring also served as the College’s provost. President Harring was instrumental in leading numerous initiatives, including implementing procedures to support the College’s diversity initiatives, guiding the development of the College’s signature integrative learning curriculum, and overseeing the roll out of Muhlenberg’s first graduate programs. She is committed to strengthening diversity, equity, and inclusion across all areas of the College. Harring completed a bachelor’s in psychology from Franklin & Marshall College and a master’s and Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

DIVISION OF STUDENT AFFAIRS (DOSA)

Student Affairs at Muhlenberg College is made up of 14 departments including Athletics and Recreation, Campus Safety, Community Engagement, Dean of Students Office, Equity and Title IX, Health and Counseling Services, Multicultural Life, Prevention Education, Religious Life, Residence Life, Seegers Union and Campus Event Services, Student Conduct, Student Organizations, Leadership and Engagement, and Student Transitions.

Collectively, DOSA strives to accomplish critical student learning outcomes in its work on campus and beyond. Creating a healthy, safe campus environment that is both preventative and restorative in addressing critical college-age issues is of the utmost importance. In addition, opening the student life experience to be one that is diverse, inclusive, and equitable is also critical. The Division seeks to build a sense of belonging on campus for every student and to eliminate systemic barriers to student success and a broader sense of community. Finally, as part of the College’s broader goals of offering integrated learning experiences and a residential environment that fosters learning and growth for students, DOSA offers vibrant opportunities for social life, leadership development programs, and opportunities for mentorship and skill development in the residence halls, through teams, clubs and organizations, and through deep community engagement experiences in the greater Allentown area.

RELIGIOUS LIFE

Religious life at Muhlenberg is diverse: the three largest religious groups on campus are Jewish (29%), Catholic (29%), Protestant (19%) and a small but growing Muslim community, are served by an active Campus Ministry, led by the College Chaplain. At present the Religious Life staff is comprised of the College Chaplain (an ordained member of the Lutheran clergy), the Assistant to the Chaplain, the (part-time) College Organist, the Director of the Leffell Center for Jewish Student Life, Hillel Program & Engagement Associate, Hillel Office Manager, and an Israel Fellow. In addition, a Roman Catholic Chaplain appointed by the Bishop of Allentown serves the needs of Muhlenberg’s Roman Catholic community, and representatives of DiscipleMakers Christian Fellowship (DCF) meet regularly with Christian students on campus for Bible study, spiritual counseling, and fellowship. The College Chaplain chairs and convenes a campus Religious Life Association that collaborates on events and shares ministry updates in order to best serve religious and spiritual life on campus.

Muhlenberg College Hillel is one of the largest and most active student organizations on campus. The College recently invested almost $4 million in a renovation and expansion of the Leffell Center for Jewish Student Life, as well as a renovation of the main campus dining facilities that added kosher kitchens and the availability of kosher food as part of the regular campus meal plan.

The College’s Newman Center was expanded and renovated approximately 6 years ago, and provides space for fellowship as well as a small chapel where weekday Mass can be held.

The Muhlenberg community celebrates and is invigorated by the religious diversity on campus. Christian students frequently participate in Shabbat dinners at Hillel. Jewish students sing in the Gospel Choir and the College Choir (which performs at the annual Advent Candlelight Carol services). Muhlenberg is also home to the Institute for Religious and Cultural Understanding (IRCU), which brings together members of the campus and local communities, local clergy, and others to focus on interfaith education.

A COLLEGE-WIDE COMMITMENT TO EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND ANTI-RACISM

Muhlenberg College deeply values having a campus community committed to supporting the sense of belonging, engagement, and academic and personal success of every student across their many identities and backgrounds. Furthermore, we are made better by attracting, retaining and supporting a diverse faculty and staff to lead our institution. The College has also recently publicly stated its commitment to anti-racism and to dismantling structures and practices that prevent the full inclusion of marginalized members of our community. Finally, as it relates to the position of Chaplain, there are four key priorities the College hopes a new Chaplain will continue to help us move forward:

Initiatives that support increasing dialogue across difference;
Support for student financial hardship initiatives;
Providing direct support to support the emotional well-being and personal success of marginalized students and student affinity groups on campus.
Modeling support and collaboration with ecumenical and interfaith partners.

Opportunities and Priorities for Muhlenberg’s Next College Chaplain:

Muhlenberg College has a close-knit community that values faith and embraces interfaith dialogue and relationships. The College values its relationship with the Lutheran Church (ELCA) and finds that Lutheran spiritual, civil, and intellectual values provide a strong foundation for a liberal arts educational experience. The College imposes no religious test for faculty or staff, and expects all members of the community to show respect for each other’s spiritual life (including the choice to be agnostic or atheistic).

The next College Chaplain will have the opportunity to work with all members of the community to define and articulate a vision for Religious Life in keeping with Muhlenberg today and in the future. They will find Christian students eager to develop their own identity and programming, and the opportunity to develop more active partnerships with a variety of campus offices and programs.

Other critical priorities will include 1) the need to identify and reach out to Muslim students and those of other faiths looking for structural and advising support from the College and local religious communities; 2) the need to build a stronger support network for the campus’s Roman Catholic community; 3) the need to establish new opportunities for students to engage in interfaith dialogue and spiritual development growth opportunities that complement current curricular and co-curricular learning experiences.
