The History
Aretê (Greek: ἀρετή);in its basic sense, means goodness, excellence,
or virtue of any kind. In its earliest appearance in Greek, this notion of
excellence was ultimately bound up with the notion of the
fulfillment of purpose or function: the act of living up to one’s full
potential. Aretê in ancient Greek culture was courage and strength in
the face of adversity and it was to what all people aspired.

2010 Charger Football
Season Preview:
After a taste of
big-time success in
2009, determined
chargers back for
more in 2010
They say it’s harder to stay at the top than it is to get to the top. That is a
problem the players and coaches with the Hillsdale College football program
are looking forward to tackling.
After seven straight losing seasons from 2000-06, the Chargers have been the
GLIAC’s second-best team since 2007, going 25-10 over the past three seasons.
The high point of that three-year run came in 2009, when the team went 10-3
and qualified for the NCAA Division II playoffs for the first time in school
history.
The challenge for head coach Keith Otterbein and the players now, is to
maintain its spot as a top contender for the GLIAC championship in 2010.
“Last year was what we’ve been working for, as a coaching staff and players,”
Otterbein said. “But since we assembled for spring practice, our focus has been
totally on the 2010 season and doing what it takes to improve on what we accomplished
last year.”
More than half of 2009’s starters return on both sides of the ball in 2010, led
by third-year starting quarterback Troy Weatherhead. A smart and accurate
passer, Weatherhead set several single-game and single-season records in 2009,
including passing yards, completions and attempts. He is the most experienced
starting quarterback in the GLIAC entering 2010, and has grown into a true
leader of the program.
“Troy has done a great job at learning what it takes to lead a football team,
both on and off the field,” Otterbein said. “His knowledge of the offense has
gotten better every year, and he has become a leader off the field, as shown by
his teammates voting him captain.”
Senior offensive lineman Phil Doerfler and junior defensive back Nick Hixson
join Weatherhead as the team’s three captains for the 2010 season. Doerfler
is a focused, hard-nosed lineman who is a true “leader by example.”
Three-year starting running back Vinnie Panizzi graduated, but returning
is sophomore Joe Glendening, who should step into the starting role in 2010.
Glendening is part of a group of skill-position players on offense that, coupled
with Weatherhead’s experience and savvy, give Hillsdale an enviable offense
this season.
Starting wide receivers Andre Holmes and Mike Blanchard return for their
senior seasons, and give the Chargers a contrast in styles, making them tough
to defend. Holmes is tall, speedy, and led the GLIAC in receiving yards last
year. Blanchard, also a kick returner for the team, makes the tough catches in
traffic and gives the team a much different look from his side of the field.
Doerfler leads a veteran offensive line, which also returns starters Patrick
Harbour, D.J. Loy and Reid Meador.
Defensively, Hixson leads a secondary that enters the season as an area of
strength for the team. Veteran Cody Henderson and sophomore Nick Galvan
return to join Hixson in the defensive backfield. Galvan is a fast, ballhawking
safety who became a starter as a true freshman last year. Henderson was also
a starter as a true freshman in 2007, but is coming off an injury-plagued 2009
Quarterback Troy Weatherhead (16) returns for his third season as
the starter in 2010.
campaign.
Expect to see some new faces in starting roles on the defense, like redshirtfreshman
Eric Burke, who enters fall practice as a starter at linebacker. Senior
Kyle Carson, a special teams standout throughout his career, becomes a starter
at linebacker this season, joining veteran Nate English at that position.
Two former linebackers make the move to the defensive line, juniors David
Bakker and Ridge Riebold, to help replenish the position most depleted by
graduation last year. Bakker was one of the defense’s most improved players
in 2009, and has the size, speed and skill set, to contribute immediately at his
new position.
There are some big shoes to fill on special teams for the Chargers. All-GLIAC
kicker Mark Petro and All-GLIAC punter Eric Schweller each graduated. Junior
Andrew Wilburn has gotten spot duty at punter in his first two seasons,
but will take over as the full-time starter this year. True freshman Matt Eltringham
will battle it out with returning veterans Colin McGreevy and Steve
Grant for placekicking duties.
“There’s a perception that we lost a ton of players, because of how talented
some of those players were,” Otterbein said. “But the group of guys we have
this year, have learned what it takes to win, and have played together for years.
I am confident that this is a team that can match up with any opponent in our
conference.”

HEAD
COACH
KEITH
OTTERBEIN
Recruit. Player. Starter. Leading tackler.
Award winner. Alumn. Assistant coach. Rival
coach. Mentor. Head coach. For more than half
of his adult life, Keith Otterbein has filled virtually
every imaginable role for the Hillsdale
College football program.
Now entering his ninth season as the leader
of the Charger program, Otterbein has the
rare combination of peace-of-mind for where
he’s taken the team since he took over, and the
burning desire to keep the Chargers among the
elite programs in the GLIAC. The 2009 season
saw exactly that, as Hillsdale turned in its best
season in more than 20 years.
“It’s been very gratifying to see the success
our program has had over the past three years,”
Otterbein said, referring to the team’s 25-10
record from 2007-2009. “But I also know we
have the talent to return to the postseason, and
that remains the goal of everyone associated
with this team.”
Including a very successful nine-year run
with Ferris State, Otterbein has established
himself as one of the GLIAC’s most successful
football coaches. On Sept. 5, 2009, he won his
100th career game, a distinction only one other
current GLIAC head coach has. He also guided
the team to a 10-3 record in 2009 and its firstever
NCAA Division II playoff appearance,
which included a 27-24 win over Minnesota
State-Mankato in the first round.
Following last season, Otterbein captured
GLIAC Coach of the Year and Super Region 3
Coach of the Year honors. He was also recognized
with those awards in 1992 and 1994 at
Ferris State, firmly entrenching his place as a
dean of football coaches in the GLIAC.
That talent is reflected in the success of recent
graduates, like Mark Nicolet, who won
national (American) football championships
in Sweden and Spain, and Tom Korte, who
was a free-agent signee of the Pittsburgh Steelers
before the 2009 season. Jared Veldheer was
named First-Team All-American following the
2009 season, and was selected by the Oakland
Raiders in the third round of the 2010 NFL
2010 Charger Football
Chargers head coach Keith Otterbein was named the GLIAC Coach of the Year and the Super Region 3
Coach of the Year in 2009, after leading Hillsdale to a 10-3 record and a Division II playoff spot.
Draft.
“I am fortunate to work with a staff that has
a great work ethic, sets a great example for our
players, and can recruit to this school,” Otterbein
said. “The work those guys put in the
offseason has been reflected in our won-loss
record over the past three years.”
Otterbein’s relationship with Hillsdale began
when he was recruited out of Southfield-Lathrup
High School by beloved former coach and
athletic director Jack McAvoy. Otterbein played
for the Chargers from 1975-78 and went on to
become the first player in school history to be
named the team’s best linebacker three years
in a row. He also earned the National Football
Foundation Scholar-Athlete award while playing
for Hillsdale.
He didn’t wait long after graduating to get
into the coaching profession. He put in time
as a position coach under Dick Lowry at Hillsdale,
and College Football Hall of Famer Herb
Deromedi at Central Michigan University.
After an apprenticeship under two highly
acclaimed coaches, Otterbein made his mark
by becoming the youngest head college football
coach in the nation when he was hired
by Ferris State University before the 1986 season.
Taking the job at the age of 28, Otterbein
quickly turned the Bulldogs into a national
power, winning 30 of his last 36 games coached
at the school and guiding the team to three Division
II playoff appearances.
Otterbein then got a taste of coaching at the
Division I level, leading the running backs at
Ball State University from 1995-2001. A return
to Hillsdale awaited in December 2001, when
Otterbein was named the program’s sixth head
coach since 1954.
Since returning to his alma mater, Otterbein
has spent considerable time upgrading the program’s
facilities. A complete locker room renovation
was finished in time for the 2007 season,
wrapping up a four-year campaign. Lettering
was added to the face of the press box, and
signage highlighting Hillsdale’s bowl-game appearances
now adorn the stadium, thanks primarily
to Otterbein’s efforts.
“It’s special for me to come back to the college
I attended, and to be in the position I’m in,” Otterbein
said. “I believe in the mission of Hillsdale
and the education kids will receive when
they come to our school. I also think they’re
going to be part of a pretty good football team
and form great memories while they’re here.”

DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
CRAIG BLANCHARD
Many of the football teams with which Craig
Blanchard has been involved during his life have
been rivals of Hillsdale. He serves as the Chargers’
defensive coordinator after spending four
seasons as the team’s defensive backs coach. He
carries the titles of assistant head coach as well
as recruiting coordinator. Blanchard played
his high school ball at nearby Jonesville High
School, where he was named First-Team All-
State in the 1976 season.
From there, Blanchard went on to play at
Grand Valley State University, where he starred
as a tailback and defensive back. Blanchard
netted First Team All-Conference honors for
Grand Valley in 1980, his final two seasons with
the Lakers. He also led the team in interceptions
both seasons. Blanchard’s first college coaching
stint at Hillsdale occurred between 1982
and 1984, when he was the outside linebackers
coach under Dick Lowry. In his first season, his
unit set a school record for interceptions in a
season with 32. Blanchard coached the defensive
backs at Eastern Michigan University in the
1986 season before taking a secondary position
at Saginaw Valley State for six years. Blanchard
earned his bachelor’s degree in 1981 from Grand
Valley State.
Since returning to Hillsdale, Blanchard has
guided the Charger defense to some memorable
games and seasons by the team and its individual
players. After going 11 years without a shutout,
Blanchard’s defense blanked Michigan Tech
(2007) and the University of Indianapolis (2009)
in two of the past three seasons.
Following the 2009 season, defensive lineman
Drew Berube was honored as Second-Team All-
American by the American Football Coaches
Association. Berube was one of several fouryear
players Blanchard coached on defense in
the 2009 season.
He resides in Hillsdale with his wife Melanie
who is a home health nurse at the Hillsdale
Defensive Coordinator Craig Blanchard
Community Health Center. They have four children:
Lauren (26), Kathryn (25), Michael (21)
and Aaron (18). Lauren is a graduate of Adrian
College, while Kathy graduated from the University
of Indianapolis. Both played collegiate
softball. Michael is a senior on the Charger football
team, and plays wide receiver.
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR
Nate Shreffler
Nate Shreffler is the longest-tenured coach on
the Charger football staff. In 2010, he will enter
the new role of offensive coordinator, while still
retaining his previous responsibility of being the
team’s offensive line coach.
In February 2010, Nate Shreffler, the longest-tenured coach on the
Charger football staff, was named the team’s new offensive coordinator,
replacing Barry Fagan. Shreffler will retain his role as the program’s
offensive line coach.
It’s not difficult for him to remember what it was like to be a football
player - a Hillsdale College player. Shreffler played for the Chargers
from 1989-1992. He was a part of the last Hillsdale team to win a league
championship, and he hopes he can lead a tough and experienced group
to those lofty heights each season.
“I’ve always seen Hillsdale as a place I want to be, both as a player
and as a coach,” Shreffler said. “I understand what the kids go through
and the demands placed on them. It helps both ways that I’ve been
there. A lot of them even have the faculty members I did when I was
here.”
Shreffler has spent time coaching the game at many levels. After
receiving his degree in secondary education from Hillsdale, Shreffler
coached junior high football in Glendale, Ariz. before returning to the college game.
He served two years coaching the offensive line at Olivet College, and one season at the University of
St. Francis in Ft.Wayne, Indiana before returning to his alma mater, where players he’s coached have enjoyed
tremendous success.
In 2003, Shreffler helped guide First Team All-GLIAC lineman Silas Johnson to a spot in the Cactus
Bowl, an all-star game for Division II players. Shreffler also coached 2009 All-American Jared Veldheer
throughout his highly decorated career. Veldheer was the second offensive ineman under Shreffler’s guidance
to play in a postseason game, with his participation in the 2010 Texas vs. The Nation Bowl in February.
His offensive line also enjoyed a banner season in 2002, when tailback Kevin Clive finished first in the
country in all-purpose yards and third in the nation in rushing.
Shreffler and his wife, Jill, reside in Hillsdale with their daughters Emma, Sarah and Grace.

Linebackers
John Lindley
Defensive Line
Aaron Shreffler
John Lindley enters his sixth
season coaching the Hillsdale College
linebackers. His previous coaching
stops have included Central Michigan
University, Tiffin University, Michigan
Tech University and Eastern Michigan
University.
An enthusiastic and passionate
coach, Lindley hits the practice field
with one standing philosophy: “We will
be the most aggressive linebacking unit
in football.” Under Lindley’s guidance,
linebacker Tom Korte put together an
outstanding four-year career for the
Chargers from 2005-08, and signed with
the defending Super Bowl champion
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Lindley was an assistant coach
at CMU under newly elected College
Football Hall of Famer Herb Deromedi
in 1991 when the Chippewas upset then-
No. 18 ranked Michigan State, 20-3. In
the summer of 2006, Lindley enjoyed one
of the great experiences of his life when
he observed U.S. Marine Corps training
procedures at the base in Quantico, Va.
Aaron Shreffler will enter
his fourth season in charge of
Hillsdale’s defensive line in 2010,
making him a part of the same
coaching staff as his older brother
Nate.
Shreffler is the brother of
current Chargers’ offensive line
coach Nate Shreffler. Aaron
Shreffler came to Hillsdale after
spending one season as the
offensive line coach at Georgia
Southern University. He spent
the prior seven seasons with St.
Francis (Ind.) coaching both the
offensive and defensive lines.
Shreffler played center for
Ohio University from 1992-97,
but was recruited to play for
Hillsdale when he was a prep
standout at Celina (Ohio) High
School. While at Celina, Shreffler
won several individual awards,
including All-Region and All-
Northwest Ohio.
Aaron lives in Hillsdale with his wife
Molly, and their daughter Lilly.
Tight ends/H-Backs
Pat Hornak
A popular, veteran member of the
coaching staff, Pat Hornak plays an
important role in the day-to-day running
of the Charger football program.
Pat is entering his fourth season
as the tight ends and H-backs coach, in
addition to his widely ranging duties as
director of football operations.
In his first season of coaching the
H-backs and tight ends in 2007, Pat
played an instrumental role in Hillsdale’s
record-breaking offense. Both of those
positions play critical roles in the diversity
and depth of the Charger offense.
Pat’s responsibilities as DFO include
equipment maintenance and repair
as well as game and practice video
responsibility. Pat joined the Hillsdale
College football program as a player in
1999, and is in his ninth season as part of
the team’s coaching staff.
Pat’s nephew Tim is a redshirtfreshman
offensive lineman for the
Chargers.

Steve Otterbein
Steve Otterbein played football
at Hillsdale College for four years. In
February 2010, he came back home.
Otterbein was named the team’s wide
receivers coach, coming on the heels of the
departure of offensive coordinator Barry
Fagan.
Otterbein, the oldest son of Hillsdale
head coach Keith Otterbein, spent three
seasons as a graduate assistant at Eastern
Michigan University after graduating
from Hillsdale. While at EMU, he
worked with the team’s defensive linemen
every day at practice, and assisted with
practice preparation for the program’s
scout team offense and special teams.
He also had extensive behind-the-scenes
responsibilities in all aspects of EMU’s
football program, including working with
the team’s out-of-area recruiting program.
Otterbein earned his degree from
Hillsdale in May 2007, majoring in secondary education and physical education,
along with a minor in math. In April 2010, he received his master’s degree in
sports management from Eastern Michigan.
Otterbein was a two-year starter at safety for the Chargers, and was selected
to the GLIAC All-Academic Team three times.
Quarterbacks
Mark Nicolet
Mark Nicolet is entering his
first season as part of the Charger
coaching staff, and will coach the team’s
quarterbacks. He is only months removed
from his playing days, as he’s spent the
past two summers playing professionally
overseas.
After graduating from Hillsdale
College in 2008, Nicolet played
professional football for teams in Sweden
and Spain, leading the former to that
country’s football national championship
in 2009. Nicolet has also played for the
Green Bay Freeze of afl2.
While at Hillsdale College, Nicolet
set a new standard of excellence, both as
a quarterback on the field and a studentathlete
off the field. He was named GLIAC
Player of the Year in 2007 and the GLIAC
Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the 2007-
08 athletic year. He set several singlegame
and single-season school records
while suiting up for Hillsdale from 2004-
07. He and his wife Meagan were married
in January 2010.

Athletic Director
Don Brubacher
On July 30, 2008, Don Brubacher
was named the fifth athletic director in
the past 54 years at Hillsdale College.
Following the strong character and
tradition established by people like
Jack McAvoy and Dr. Mike Kovalchik
is no small task, but it’s one Brubacher
has fully embraced entering his second
year on the job.
“I’ve been extremely impressed with
the quality of coaches, athletes and staff
we have here at Hillsdale. They have
made this a very easy transition for
me,” Brubacher said. “I not only want
to maintain the great athletic tradition we have here, but to help
our coaches achieve greater success in the future.”
Brubacher knew plenty of success in his nine-year stint as athletic
director at Tabor College, an NAIA school located in Hillsboro,
Kansas. An alumn of the school, Brubacher coached men’s and
women’s basketball at Tabor, as well as men’s and women’s soccer
during a career that saw him spend nearly 30 years on the field of
play. He takes a lot of pride in his classroom teaching experience
as well, and draws many parallels between the experience a college
student has in the classroom compared to that on the athletic field.
“Our national search has produced an individual with an
impressive understanding of the role that athletics plays in the
formation of student character and how character development is
essential to the mission of our institution,” said Hillsdale College
President Dr. Larry Arnn. “In addition, we have found a man
with a long, proven record of success in leading a college athletic
program. Don Brubacher will be a perfect fit here.”
Brubacher’s coaching career saw him earn many Coach of the Year
accolades, and he led his men’s basketball teams to 12 conference
championships. His women’s soccer teams also won a regular
season conference championship, and a postseason tournament
conference title.
Brubacher started his college career at Heston College in Kansas,
where he played soccer. He then moved on to Tabor College and
played soccer and basketball, and was a First-Team All-Conference
selection in basketball before his graduation in 1975.
Associate A.D.
Claudette Charney
Claudette Charney is entering her
ninth season with the Hillsdale College
athletic department, filling the roles of
both head women’s basketball coach
and associate athletic director.
Charney handles all of the NCAA

FACILITIES
Re-named after the legendary head coach, Frank “Muddy” Waters Stadium is situated on
the east end of campus, and seats approximately 8,500 fans. Hillsdale College football teams
have been playing on this same spot of earth for more than 60 years. The stadium has recently
undergone several significant upgrades. New ProGrass artifical surface was installed before the
2005 season, and banners and press box lettering were added before the 2006 season.
One of the longest-running projects in the program’s history came to fruition in January 2007,
when the refurbished locker room was in place and ready for use. The area is now known as the
Frank “Muddy” Waters/Joseph M. Vijuk Locker Room, named in honor of the former coach
and former All-American player, whose generous donation helped finish off the gorgeous locker
room.

his drive during last summer’s golf outing,
held at Arbor Hills Golf Course in

2010 Charger Football
1985: The national
championship season
The history of Charger football hit a high point in 1985, when
head coach Dick Lowry and a talented senior class led the team
to the NAIA national championship game. In that contest, the
Chargers had to settle for a 10-10 tie vs. Central Arkansas.
Quarterback Mike Gatt (pictured at right) connected with Scott
Sugg on a 58-yard touchdown pass midway through the fourth
quarter to force the tie. Hillsdale and Central Arkansas ended up
sharing the national championship that season, but ask anyone
who saw that Charger team play, and there’s no question who
“the” champions of the day were. Listed below is a game-bygame
summary of that championship season.
Week 1
Sept. 14, 1985: Hillsdale 21, Wisconsin-Whitewater 7
The Charger defense limited Wisconsin-Whitewater to 17 yards rushing and
10 first downs in a solid season-opening win. Quarterback Mike Gatt goes 17-
for-36 for 166 yards and a touchdown. Defensive back Jeff Hubert returned an
interception for a touchdown to open the scoring on the season.
Week 2
Sept. 21, 1985: Hillsdale 23, Ashland 7
Dave Mifsud and Brian Walker each catch touchdown passes from Gatt as once
again, Hillsdale shuts down an opponent. The Eagles managed just 161 total
yards in the game.
Week 3
Sept. 28, 1985: Saginaw Valley 28, Hillsdale 17
The only blemish on the season occurred in this game, when the Cardinals
overcame six turnovers to defeat the Chargers. These two teams were picked
to finish first and second in the GLIAC, and had a battle to live up to those
predictions. SVSC held a 14-10 halftime lead, but scored back-to-back
touchdowns in the third quarter to put the game away.
Week 4
Oct. 5, 1985: Hillsdale 25, Wayne State 0
The dominating Charger defense returned to form, shutting out the Tarters. For
the third time this season, the defense held an opponent to less than 175 total
yards, as WSU gained just 122 against Hillsdale. Dennis Susa led the defensive
effort with 11 tackles, while Mifsud caught a 10-yard touchdown pass.
Week 5
Oct. 12, 1985: Hillsdale 24, Ferris State 15
In the annual homecoming game, Gatt passed for a school-record 349 yards to
lead the Chargers past the Bulldogs. Gatt went 21-for-30 through the air. His
passing sparked Hillsdale to an early 21-0 lead in the game.
Week 6
Oct. 19, 1985: Hillsdale 21, Grand Valley 14
In one of the most competitive games of the regular season, the Chargers won
in Allendale for the first time in five years. Hillsdale used special teams and the
passing game to bolt to a 21-0 halftime lead. Steve Ferguson blocked a punt for
a touchdown, while Mifsud and Jeff Lantis each caught touchdown passes from
Gatt. Mifsud’s scoring reception was good for 58 yards.
Week 7
Oct. 26, 1985: Hillsdale 42, Kentucky State 0
After the previous week’s slugfest, the Chargers had it a little easier in this nonleague
game. Now ranked No. 8 in the nation, Hillsdale was led by linebacker
Rodney Patterson’s 18 total tackles, including 11 solo stops.
Week 8
Nov. 2, 1985: Hillsdale 52, Michigan Tech 6
In its second-straight blowout, the Chargers dominated the Huskies, sprinting
out to a 35-0 halftime lead while holding the team to -12 total yards rushing.
Hillsdale also got some help in the league on this day, climbing into first place
after Ferris State beat Saginaw Valley.
Week 9
Nov. 9, 1985: Hillsdale 30, Northwood 0
The Chargers clinch the GLIAC championship game on a field covered with
three inches of snow. Mifsud and Lantis once again catch touchdown passes, and
kicker Mark Baker boots three field goals under difficult conditions. Northwood
was held to 101 total yards in the game.
Week 10
Nov. 16, 1985: Hillsdale 16, Central State (Ohio) 6
Not satisfied with the conference championship, the Chargers clinch a spot in
the NAIA playoffs in a mudbowl-type of game vs. Central State. After scoring a
touchdown early, Central State’s explosive offense was shut down by the Charger
defense. Gatt passed and ran for a touchdown in the win.
NAIA Quarterfinals
Dec. 7, 1985: Hillsdale 47, Salem College (W.Va.) 3
A three-week layoff had no ill effects on the Chargers, as they destroyed their
first-round playoff opponent. Gatt threw four touchdown passes on four
successive possessions as Hillsdale jumped out to a 28-3 halftime lead. The
Chargers outgained Salem 465-78 in total yards in the game.
NAIA Semifinals
Dec. 14, 1985: Hillsdale 24, Mesa (Col.) 21 - OT
In a bitter rematch from the 1982 playoffs, Baker’s overtime field goal completed
a stirring comeback by the Chargers. Hillsdale trailed 21-0 at halftime, but came
back thanks to more consistent offense and two blocked field goals. A goal-line
stand in overtime preserved the win for Hillsdale.
NAIA National Championship Game
Dec. 21, 1985: Hillsdale 10, Central Arkansas 10
Split national championships are only a semi-regular occurance at the Division
I level in college football these days, but back in 1985, there was no overtime to
settle a championship game. So Hillsdale and Central Arkansas had to share the
title of “national champions” that year after a 10-10 tie. Gatt found Scott Sugg
for a 58-yard, game-tying touchdown halfway through the fourth quarter to
force the tie. The Chargers finished the season 11-1-1, the second-most wins in
a season in school history. A total of seven players earned All-American honors
from the ‘85 Chargers: Steve Cook, Steve Ferguson, Jeff Gatt, Mike Gatt, Jeff
Lantis, Paul Mackey and Kurt Norman.

Welcome to Hillsdale College
An
independent, four-year college in south-central
Michigan, Hillsdale College offers the rigorous and
lively academic experience one expects of a tier-one liberal arts
college, and it stands out for its commitment to the enduring
principles of the Western tradition. Its core curriculum embodies
this commitment through required courses in disciplines such
as history, literature, science and political science in order to
develop in students the “philosophical habit of mind” essential to
sound education. Likewise, majors at Hillsdale are a rigorous and
searching extension of these commitments. Ranging from classics
or music to chemistry or business, academic fields of concentration
build upon the core curriculum, deepening and specifying
students’ appreciation for and understanding of the liberal arts.
Hillsdale College is dedicated to intellectual inquiry and to
learning, and it recognizes essential human dignity. Ordered
liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, free enterprise
and man’s moral, intellectual and spiritual nature illuminate this
dignity and identify the service of the College to its students, the
nation and the Western intellectual and religious tradition.
Far-ranging by design and incisive by method, study at
Hillsdale College is intellectually demanding. Students work
closely with faculty who guide them in their studies, helping
students to prepare for a lifetime of accomplishment, leadership
and learning. For more information about Hillsdale College or
to arrange a visit, call the Admissions Office at (517) 607-2327,
or e-mail admissions@hillsdale.edu.
Hillsdale
•
College, founded in 1844, is an independent,
coeducational, residential,
nonsectarian college for about 1,300 students. Its four-year curriculum
leads to the degree of bachelor of arts or bachelor of
science. It is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools, whose Commission on Institutions
of Higher Education is located at 30 North LaSalle Street, Suite
2400, Chicago, IL 60602. Hillsdale is included on the approved
lists of leading universities for transfer and graduate studies and
holds membership in the Association of American Colleges and
the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education.
Located just off M-99 in the southern Michigan city of Hillsdale,
it lies between Detroit and Chicago and is easily accessible via the
interstate highway system. Those approaching from the west on
the Indiana Tollway should use Interchange 144 (Angola). Those
approaching from the east on the Ohio Turnpike should use Exit
13 (Bryan-Montpelier). Approximately one half of Hillsdale’s
students come from other states and countries. Hillsdale has
traditionally upheld two concepts: academic excellence and
institutional independence. The College does not accept federal
or state taxpayer subsidies for its operations. This has set it free
to offer a unique kind of education. Hillsdale College proudly
adheres to the non-discriminatory policy regarding race, religion,
sex and national or ethnic origin that it has maintained since long
before governments found it necessary to regulate such matters.
Hillsdale College is located in the northern part of the city of
Hillsdale, with its various grounds and facilities covering some 200
acres. The main quadrangle of the campus is principally devoted to
academic and administrative facilities. It has many beautiful oaks,
maples and pines and is located atop the highest hill in the city.
