JUSTTHEFACTS STETSON UNIVERSITY 2011-2012 CHANGEISCONSTANT The fact is—the only thing that remains constant is change. That sentiment has never been more true than it is today.

ALOOKBACK New York entrepreneur Henry A. DeLand, who played a leading role in establishing the city of DeLand in 1876, founded the university as DeLand Academy. Thirteen students started classes in a rented building in 1883. The following year, Mr. DeLand erected a building at the corner of Woodland Boulevard and Minnesota Avenue to house classrooms and administrative offices. That building, now known as DeLand Hall, is the oldest building in Florida to be used continuously for higher education. After experiencing financial difficulties in the late 1880s, Mr. DeLand found it impossible to support the university. He turned to Philadelphia hat-maker John Batterson Stetson, who had recently built a winter home in DeLand. Mr. Stetson provided much needed funding for the new institution and in 1887, John B. Stetson was elected to the university's Board of Trustees. In 1889, the institution was renamed in his honor. SINCE1883 OIIRVISION Since 1883, Stetson's vision has remained constant, engaging students with rigorous academics and instilling civic values for life. We educate those who are daring enough to pursue, not just success, but significance. Students develop the ability to explore deeply, think critically and express ideas clearly and creatively. Our commitment is to engage students in every aspect of their academic and campus life, to establish and strengthen the skills necessary to rise above personal challenge and shape the future.
