A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTOn behalf of the entire Webber International University (operating as St. Andrews University in theCarolinas) family, a hearty welcome. We are delighted – and honored – that you have entrustedyour future to us.Webber College was established in 1927 by world-famous economist Roger Babson (who alsofounded Babson College) and his wife Grace Knight, for the then fairly controversial purpose ofproviding women with access to a high quality, genuinely relevant business degree. We were thefirst school to open under Florida’s educational and charitable laws and, to the best of ourknowledge, the second school of business for women in the United States. While Webber beganadmitting men in the 1970’s, it was exclusively a business school until 2019 when it began addingcarefully selected majors in the health professions and education. Established in 1896, the allwomen Flora Macdonald College merged with the all-men Presbyterian Junior College in 1958 toform St. Andrews Presbyterian College, which opened in Laurinburg, North Carolina in 1961 as, tothe best of our knowledge, the first completely barrier-free college in the United States. The thenall-business Webber International University merged with the then all-liberal arts and sciences St.Andrews University in 2011, combining the strengths, while maintaining the unique flavor, of eachof the former institutions into a SACSCOC accredited, private, not-for-profit, regional universitywith two residential campuses and six adult and continuing education centers, offering 42 bachelor’sdegrees and 6 master’s degrees to students from over 50 different countries.Over the years much has changed. We have added a number of varsity sports mainly competing inthe NAIA (our national champion bowling teams compete in the USBC, our national championequestrian teams compete in the IHSA, IDA, and ANRC, and our new esports teams complete inthe NACE). We have added new – but closely related and highly sought after – degrees. We havestrategically expanded into a few major metropolitan areas which have a need for accelerated – butnevertheless student focused, business driven, and superlative quality – educational opportunities.Realizing that for some on campus is out of the question, we now offer a number of our degreesentirely online.But two things haven’t changed: our commitment to student success and our belief that we ought totreat others as we’d have them treat us. It starts from the first contact. If we can’t help you fulfillyour dreams, we’ll recommend a school which can. But if we can help you achieve your goals, we’llhelp you figure out the way which works best for you. It continues into the classroom. We don’thave graduate assistants teaching classes. Ever. Our faculty do research because that’s what facultydo, but we pay them to teach. You’ll find faculty in their offices after class, and often at the biggame as well. Our faculty are highly credentialed – you can stack them up against any faculty inthe world – but as importantly most have actually worked in the field in which they’re teaching. Wehave an open door policy. And our commitment continues beyond graduation with lifetime careerplacement assistance and a network of employers who know when you hire one of our graduates,you’re hiring individuals who are prepared not just for their first job, but for their first fewpromotions as well.22

Welcome to our family. Thank you for entrusting us with your hopes, your dreams, your very future.Our sincerest hope is that the day will come, as it has for so many alumni, that you will so fondlylook back at your time with us that you will send your own kids to pursue their education here.With warmest regards,Keith Wade, President & CEO23

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITYUniversity HistoryOn April 6, 1927, Grace Knight and Roger W. Babson founded the University which carriesthe name of their granddaughter, Camilla Grace Webber. Roger was best known for his contributionsin the areas of economics and finance, which included the establishment of Babson's reports andauthorship of a number of business publications and books. His philanthropic contributions includedthe formation of several institutions of higher learning and service on a number of corporate boards,as well as the endowment of several charitable foundations.Webber was founded as a women's college, with the exclusive purpose of teaching womenabout business. It was the first school chartered under the educational and charitable laws of the Stateof Florida as a non-profit organization. Originally the Babson Park campus was only used for theSpring term, while fall classes were taught in Boston. In 1940, Babson Park became the University'spermanent campus, a
