Davis & Elkins College (D&E) is a private college in Elkins, West Virginia, United States. It operates as a nonprofit liberal arts college and is affiliated with the Association of Presbyterian Colleges and Universities.

History

[edit]

The school was founded in 1904 and is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church.[2] It was named for Henry G. Davis and his son-in-law Stephen B. Elkins, who were both members of the United States Senate from West Virginia.[3]

While the original campus was located in south Elkins, the current campus was established when Hallie Davis Elkins donated Halliehurst Mansion and the surrounding estate in 1924.[4]

The Aurora literary magazine was founded at D&E in 1963 (initially as the Adum magazine).[5]

Academics

[edit]

D&E offers 45 degree programs, including 33 bachelor's degrees, 6 associate's degrees, and 6 pre-professional programs. Students can also choose from 36 minors and an honors program.[6]

The Morrison-Novakovic Center for Faith and Public Policy was founded at Davis & Elkins College in 2017.[7] The Center seeks to promote the common good by empowering students to engage, challenge, and enhance structures and conditions which lead to the flourishing of all people.

The college also has a supported learning program hosted by the Naylor Learning Center (NLC). The NLC provides academic support, courses, and workshops for all students, and it has additional services for students with learning disabilities.[8] Other academic services are provided by the Booth Library and the Davis & Elkins College Writing Center.

D&E also hosts a range of regular speaker series, including the William E. Phipps Religion & Philosophy Interdisciplinary Lecture and the Dr. Bill King Writer's Week event. The Phipps lectureship brings accomplished scholars from a wide range of backgrounds to campus to discuss religion, philosophy, and related disciplines, while Writer's Week is an endowed speaker series that hosts award-winning authors.

Official athletics logo

The school's athletic teams, known as the Senators, compete in NCAA Division II, primarily in the Mountain East Conference (MEC). The Senators had been members of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) from the league's founding in 1924 until its demise in 2013, after which the school joined the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC).[10] In 2019, the Senators joined the MEC, thereby reuniting with most of their historic rivals.[11]

Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, tennis, indoor & outdoor track, and wrestling. All of these sports compete in the MEC except for lacrosse, which remains in the G-MAC because the MEC sponsors that sport only for women. Women's sports include triathlon, acrobatics & tumbling, basketball, cross country, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, indoor & outdoor track, and volleyball.
