Based on market research, faculty and student input as well as industry data, ELEVATE will offer a distinct student experience that prepares students for post-graduation success with extensive academic support and a focus on career preparation and global experiences.

鈥淭he launch of ELEVATE and our transition to 亚洲情色 this year mark some very significant and exciting changes for our students, faculty and staff,鈥 commented Bryon Grigsby, president of Moravian College. 鈥淭he decision to create ELEVATE and launch it beginning with the Class of 2025 was based on very extensive research, highlighting what college-age students, their families, and the employers that hire them want from their undergraduate experience. This approach has served Moravian well for decades, listen to the community, hear what鈥檚 most important, and create the programs and initiatives to address those needs.鈥
ELEVATE will integrate four areas of focus into the curriculum and campus experience for full-time undergraduate students, including Teamwork/Leadership, Global Experiences, Work Experience and Career Support.
Moravian College Provost Cynthia Kosso noted that 鈥淓LEVATE was designed to highlight the academic experience, while focusing on career planning and expanding the student鈥檚 global perspective, either through study abroad or participating in a global experience right here in the Lehigh Valley.鈥
ELEVATE will be launched with newly added staff resources and programmatic updates to provide even more opportunities for students that want to better prepare themselves through academic exploration and extensive support for their post-college lives.
鈥淲e know there鈥檚 been a lot of focus on return on investment for colleges, and we feel that ELEVATE addresses that concern for our students right from the start,鈥 added Scott Dams, vice president of enrollment and marketing at Moravian College.
