A tradition is much more than a long-standing habit. It has to be cherished, believed, and nurtured with a purpose. When Dr. Colleen Keith arrived at Pfeiffer University as president, she found a tradition that needed to shine again.

Pfeiffer University’s new Charlotte campus, which recently opened at 1515 Mockingbird Lane, offers flexible and affordable meeting and event space for half- and whole-day rental, on weekdays and weekends.

When Staff Sergeant Joseph VanBencoten, U.S. Army, retired, graduated from Pfeiffer in May with a bachelor’s degree in biology, his service dog and “best friend,” Marlee, was by his side. As they crossed the stage together, Marlee was recognized by President Keith for her loyalty to Joe with a surprise “Honorary Bachelor’s Degree in Canine Science and Dogmatic Therapy.”

Pfeiffer University announces that it is one of a select group of 21 institutions across the nation chosen by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) to receive a grant in the amount of $13,000 to implement an Intergenerational Connections: Students Serving Older Adults program.

Pfeiffer University announces that Reverend Maegan Daigle Habich will join its staff on July 1 as university chaplain and director of church relations. In this new position, Reverend Habich will direct the implementation of a traditional campus ministry and chaplaincy, and work closely with the Francis Center for Servant Leadership to coordinate faith-based and secular service programming.
