Southern Virginia University

Buena Vista, Virginia

Cause Description:
Southern Virginia University is dedicated to assisting individuals fulfill their spiritual, intellectual, and social potential as sons and daughters of God. The University serves members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and others of similar beliefs and values but is not owned or operated by the Church. Developing spiritually requires understanding the divine mission of Jesus Christ and a devout love of God and neighbor. To develop intellectually, one must appreciate theoretical and creative achievements past and present, and learn to express one's own ideas clearly and effectively. Developing socially requires an understanding of one's cultural tradition as well as the ideas and practices of other cultures. Social maturity also includes the ability to participate constructively at home, at church, at work, and in broader political communities. To achieve its mission, the University will provide a superior faculty committed to their faith and to rigorous instruction in the arts, letters, and sciences. Students will be encouraged to reflect on their studies in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ and will learn to communicate their ideas with clarity and effect in written, oral, and multimedia forms. Opportunities for spiritual and social growth will be provided through on-campus LDS Institute classes, LDS student wards, wholesome cultural and social activities, athletic competition, and community service.
