Spotlight on:

Pfeiffer University

Pfeiffer University is a comprehensive United Methodist-related university, with multiple campuses and delivery systems, committed to educational excellence, service, and scholarship. Within nurturing communities of learners, we value diversity and promote the attainment of full academic and personal potential through accessible undergraduate and graduate programs. It is the vision of the university that our students embrace the Christian values of human dignity, integrity, and service and become servant leaders and lifelong learners.

Pfeiffer University first opened its doors in 1885 as a mission school founded to provide an education to students who had few opportunities for formal learning. Much has changed over the years, but Pfeiffer continues to emphasize the “service before self” principles on which we were built.

True to our history, Pfeiffer has made affordability one of its highest priorities and works with students to address financial limitations. Over 90 percent of Pfeiffer’s students receive some form of financial assistance.

Pfeiffer’s emphasis continues to be servant leadership. The three areas through which the University seeks to provide personal growth and academic knowledge for our students are Christian service, service or engaged learning, and co-curricular development. Pfeiffer’s Bonner Leaders program, through which students receive educational scholarships based on hours of community service, is the largest in the country. Our students participate in a variety of community service projects throughout the year, including tutoring and mentoring at area schools, building Habitat for Humanity homes, volunteering at area nursing homes, and providing service to any number of local non-profit agencies. Many of our students also participate in alternative fall and spring break mission trips, which this year has taken students to hurricane-struck Florida and an upcoming trip to Cuba.

A new state-of-the-art science laboratory facility, a new residence hall and a completely transformed south side of campus have continued to enhance an already student-friendly campus.

Misenheimer is located in the southern Piedmont of North Carolina, less than an hour northeast of Charlotte.

Pfeiffer and Misenheimer Community Members:

On behalf of the members of the Village of Misenheimer Police Department, I extend to you our warmest welcome. I hope that this Misenheimer Police web page assists you in learning more about the department and the many different areas of responsibility placed upon our agency.

Please take the time to explore our crime statistics page. This page includes a detailed accounting of crimes statistics and criminal incidents that have occurred on Pfeiffer University's main campus in Misenheimer, NC. These statistics are listed for the last three years and will assist you in learning more about the Pfeiffer community. Be assured, the Misenheimer Police Department Administration and officers, Pfeiffer's faculty and staff, students, and the entire Pfeiffer community take the issue of campus safety very seriously. Having embraced the philosophy of Community Oriented Policing, the department works hand-in-hand with the Misenheimer and Pfeiffer Community to identify and eliminate problematic areas. In line with the Community Oriented Safety Philosophy, officers within the department seek community input and feedback, conduct training classes, patrol the Village of Misenheimer and the Pfeiffer campus 24 hours a day, and provide the safest environment possible for all members of the community. A vital program within the department on Pfeiffer's campus is our Residential Officer Program. This program places officers within the residential halls more often and allows residential students more access to a campus police officer 24 hours a day.

I also personally welcome you to Pfeiffer University and the Village of Misenheimer. I am an alumnus of Pfeiffer (Criminal Justice '97) (M.B.A. '08) and I can assure you that the Misenheimer Police Department will be a proactive agency to always keep Pfeiffer the safest campus possible. It is my goal as the Chief of Police to provide Misenheimer and Pfeiffer the most efficient, educated, proactive, and community oriented police department possible. As stated previously, our officers have embraced the Community Oriented Policing philosophy and have taken pride in providing citizens, students, faculty, and staff the safest environment in which to live, learn and grow.
