自成立以来, <a href='http://jizhou.shnaizhi.com'>&#21313;&#22823;&#32593;&#36172;&#36719;&#20214;</a> has believed in the power of education to transform students and employees from all walks of life. 庇哩亚’s inclusive past emanates from a foundational belief of founder Rev. 约翰G. Fee that the inclusive Christian notion of impartial love could create a remarkable learning and living community in a slaveholding state before the Civil War. An ardent abolitionist, Fee chose the motto, “God has made of one blood all peoples of the earth.这是我们自1855年以来的座右铭.

<a href='http://jizhou.shnaizhi.com'>&#21313;&#22823;&#32593;&#36172;&#36719;&#20214;</a>是黑人和白人, women and men have been educated together since 1855, in direct response to society's most vexing challenges: inclusion, 访问, 股本, 跨差异学习, 和正义.

庇哩亚 has always sought to address some of the country's most vexing challenges, 这样做的时候, it has faced often fierce opposition throughout it history, 以及巨大的赞誉和钦佩. 尽管存在这些挑战, <a href='http://jizhou.shnaizhi.com'>&#21313;&#22823;&#32593;&#36172;&#36719;&#20214;</a> has continued in its mission provided by its founders—to educate students inclusively and equitably in the name justice and impartial love. It continues to model its motto from Acts that “God has made of one blood all peoples of the earth.” <a href='http://jizhou.shnaizhi.com'>&#21313;&#22823;&#32593;&#36172;&#36719;&#20214;</a> was the first interracial, co-educational college in the South.

在过去的40年里, 竭诚招聘, enroll and retain a diverse student population, combined with increased hiring of African Americans in faculty and staff positions, have resulted in a campus community where nearly half of the students identify as people of color.

<a href='http://jizhou.shnaizhi.com'>&#21313;&#22823;&#32593;&#36172;&#36719;&#20214;</a> strives to provide a continued learning experiences, support and activism.

我们能够而且必须做得更多. 我们的历史要求这样做.

<strong>Every student at &#21313;&#22823;&#32593;&#36172;&#36719;&#20214; is part of a unique and&nbsp;inclusive mission&nbsp;that reflects equal opportunity with the obvious exception that 庇哩亚 excludes applicants who come from families who could afford to pay for a high-quality education.&nbsp;</strong>庇哩亚, perhaps more than any other institution, is a&nbsp;<strong>恩典之地</strong>, making decisions to serve those who are&nbsp;deserving of educational opportunity, which remains the best way to change trajectories of students of low income and high potential. In the continuing spirit of impartial love, &#21313;&#22823;&#32593;&#36172;&#36719;&#20214;教授的是心灵之爱, 心脏, 自我和他人.
