In 1898 Abbot Bernard Pennings, a Norbertine priest and educator, opened the doors of St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin, a small community adjoining Green Bay. Francis I. Van Dyke, a seminarian, was the first and, at that time, the only student. Since that time St. Norbert has grown to a stabilized enrollment of about 2,000 men and women. Modernization, – more... increased size, and sophistication have not changed the basic Pennings' philosophy of education: "to perfect the personal, moral, and intellectual development of each student." That philosophy remains the cornerstone of the College's goals and objectives today. Moreover, St. Norbert College is dedicated to maintaining the type of environment in which this development can take place-a Christian community of learners in tune with the traditions of the Norbertine Fathers. St. Norbert is a private, Catholic school, whose administration, faculty, and student body represent all faiths. A deep concern for moral and social values is evident here. In keeping with the times, St. Norbert also seeks maximum effectiveness in utilizing the College's human and financial resources. The interaction of administration, faculty, and students, the most efficient use of physical facilities, and the updating of the campus to promote the welfare of the College community contribute to the kind of quality education that St. Norbert offers. St. Norbert College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The College's Teacher Education program is certified by the Wisconsin State Department of Public Instruction. St. Norbert holds memberships in the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, American Council on Education, Association of American Colleges and Universities, the American Association of Higher Education, the Council of Independent Colleges, the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, and the National Catholic Education Association. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
