The purpose of the Caldwell Scholars Program is to create an academic environment that encourages honor students to develop critical thinking in the application of knowledge.

The Program is meant to foster leadership, self-confidence and a greater respect for humanity. Participation in the Scholars Program supports success as undergraduates and as future graduate students and working professionals.

The program is committed to interdisciplinary, multiple perspectives and embraces diversity as a foundation of an intelligent, literate and democratic society. We value the liberal arts and Dominican traditions.
