Our vision is for every Sewanee student to discover their potential to achieve the extraordinary. We empower students to build their own success so they can be their best selves on campus and create lives of meaning and purpose.
We are here to accompany you on this journey: from the moment you select Sewanee as your college, through academic advising and major selection, as you explore internships and summer opportunities, and then as you look toward career opportunities and job choices. We want to ensure that you succeed during your time on campus and in the years beyond.
