International Partnerships
Wartburg College is named after
one of Europe’s best-known landmarks, the Wartburg Castle,
a fortress built in 1067 overlooking Eisenach, Germany. During
the stormy days of the 16th-century Reformation, the castle provided
a refuge for Martin Luther, founder of the Lutheran church.
In 1999, representatives from the college
and the Wartburg Castle signed a formal
agreement of cooperation, which provides opportunities for
intercultural exchange and understanding for faculty, staff, students,
and alumni.
Community
Partnerships
Wartburg College has strong connections with organizations in
various communities. The Center for Community
Engagement helps facilitate these partnerships.

College
of the Church
Wartburg College is a college of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America. However, we are equally
vigorous in our efforts to welcome and include others.
We recognize God’s
image within every person. Students, faculty, and staff
of all races, ethnicities, faiths, and philosophies are
welcomed and invited to participate in a process of critical
reflection on their most foundational commitments in life.
We are committed to diversity on our campus, not in spite
of our heritage but precisely because of it. |
