John Templeton Foundation: College and Character: The Templeton Guide: Honor Roll

Purpose

In 1989, the John Templeton Foundation established the Honor Roll for Character-Building Colleges to recognize biennially those institutions that emphasize character development as an integral aspect of the undergraduate experience. To date, more than 350 colleges and universities have been named to one or more Honor Rolls.

Continuing this tradition of affirming excellence, the Templeton Honor Roll section of the guidebook profiles 100 colleges and universities. Although particular practices and emphases may differ, all 100 institutions exhibit a strong and inspiring campus-wide ethos that articulates the expectations of personal and civic responsibility in all dimensions of college life.
