One of the beautiful aspects about a liberal arts college is the multitude of questions being asked by our students and faculty, as well as the variety of approaches used to pursue them.

On January 25, 2023, Goshen College students, staff and community members gathered in the Church-Chapel to celebrate the recent designation of the college as a Hispanic-Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education. This is Goshen College President Rebecca Stoltzfus' speech, as prepared for delivery.

This means that for consecutive years the college has met the criteria of at least 25 percent of its full-time undergraduate students identifying as Hispanic/Latinx, and that it enrolls a high number of students who demonstrate financial need.
