More details
- Mission
- The University of the South, known familiarly as Sewanee by its students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends, offers an unmatched educational experience characterized by serious intellectual engagement between faculty and students. Relationships that begin in the classroom extend to all facets of life here, and it is not unusual for students and faculty members to work shoulder to shoulder on research projects, journal articles, to meet for dinner or coffee at a local eatery, or to serve together as members of the University orchestra, volunteer fire department, and other civic groups. In these ways, the Sewanee experience prepares its students for lives of integrity, achievement and service. Since its founding, the College of Arts and Sciences at the University has graduated 25 Rhodes Scholars, a record that is unmatched by all but a handful of institutions, 38 Watson Fellows, and 24 NCAA Postgraduate Scholars, while the institution's School of Theology has added to its alumni ranks countless bishops, including three of the last four presiding bishops of the Episcopal Church. The University is located atop the Cumberland Plateau between Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Sewanee's physical environment, which includes a 13,000-acre campus, provides an unparalleled place for study, reflection, and recreation and has, over its history, become a meeting place for some of America's most respected literary figures. It is home to the well-known Sewanee Writers Conference, the Sewanee Review (the nation's longest continuously published literary quarterly), and holds the copyrights to Tennessee Williams' body of work, which was left to the school by the playwright.
