Ohio Wesleyan University
Founded by Methodists in 1842, OWU maintains an active affiliation with The United Methodist Church and is recognized nationally for welcoming students of all religious faiths. The University provides support for all denominations and coordinates an active program of social action and community service. Known early in its history as the "West Point of Missions" because of the number of graduates who served abroad as missionaries, Ohio Wesleyan later was recognized for the number of alumni who served as Peace Corps volunteers. Today, that same commitment to serving society manifests itself in the activities of OWU's students, an extraordinary percentage of whom participate in volunteer initiatives. A genuine sense of service permeates the campus.
