About the Center
The Ernest L. Boyer Center at Messiah University has endeavored to focus its mission on stewarding the Boyer legacy. Crucial elements of this mission include interpreting Boyer’s visionary impact on education and society for future generations of scholars and students, facilitating access to the rich body of resources in the Center’s archival collection, and infusing contemporary educational discourse with commitments to the common good.
An integral contributor to Messiah University and the larger academic community, the Center sponsors an array of activities, including symposia, seminars, and digital exhibits, aimed at promoting awareness and commitment to educational excellence for the common good. Through all of these initiatives, the Center strives to provide the larger educational community with the space to reflect systematically toward a deeper understanding of the interconnections between educational quality and societal well-being and for identifying generative ways to advance education for the common good.
