ABOUT DAVIS & ELKINS COLLEGE
Davis & Elkins College is a Presbyterian-related liberal arts college established in 1904 by Senators Henry Gassaway Davis and Stephen Benton Elkins. Nestled in the mountains of Elkins, West Virginia, the College was established with land and funding by the Senators, donations from the citizens of Randolph County, and the Presbyteries of Lexington and Winchester, Virginia. Our campus boasts multiple historic properties that serve as learning centers, offices, and community gathering places.
In the pursuit of our mission statement, to prepare and inspire students for success and for thoughtful engagement in the world, we offer over 32 majors to approximately 650 residential and commuter students. We value the richness of place, the beauty of the natural world, and the importance of other countries, cultures and regions. We particularly strive to help our students find that which brings them purpose in life, where passion and career intersect for the good of all. D&E challenges students to participate in a vibrant and diverse campus while cultivating the intellectual, creative, ethical, physical and leadership skills the real world requires. The College affirms as special values: human dignity, social responsibility, participatory governance, and the unity of the intellectual, social, and spiritual dimensions of life.
The Morrison-Novakovic Center for Faith and Public Policy is a residential facility for students with “Big Ideas”. This program seeks to foster discussion and engagement concerning the role of faith, public policy, ethics and sustainability in our increasingly interdependent world. The Center hosts annual conferences, provides a residential-theme house and offers service to the campus and community through faith-based engagement with the world.
Our 15th president, Rev. Chris Wood, was inaugurated in March 2017, and is leading the College into an exciting future. As a small institution of higher education, we are particularly grateful for our debt free status, celebrate the successful culmination of a $100 million endowment Secure the Future campaign in June 2018, and are currently in the midst of a $25 million Creating Home campaign focused on establishing a “Freshman Village”. This will consist of breaking ground on a new dorm facility and making modern upgrades to existing dorm facilities. Construction will begin this Spring, and the new facility will open July 2024.
ABOUT DAVIS MEDICAL CENTER
As the only health care facility with diagnostics, emergency room and surgical services in the area, DMC sees most local residents in the course of a year. In addition to a current part-time chaplain, this candidate will focus their DMC time at the end of the week with some on-call time, with flexibility to blend with College needs.

Retirement
An annuity contract will be opened for each full-time employee with TIAA. The college will pay the equivalent 2.5 percent of the employee’s wages into the retirement contract. This percentage increases to five percent after the sixth year of employment. The employee has the option to contribute a percentage of his/her wages to the contract. Part-time employees may be eligible for this benefit, based on number of hours worked during first year of employment at D&E.

Campus Conduct Hotline
The Campus Conduct Hotline© is a confidential, independent risk-management service that gives students and employees a simple, anonymous way to alert administrators of unsafe or unethical behavior before it spirals out of control. The Campus Conduct Hotline© is available around the clock, seven days a week.
To use this service:
- Dial toll-free 866-943-5787.
- Your call will be greeted promptly and courteously by a person who makes certain you understand the
- Campus Conduct Hotline© program and how it functions.
- At the beginning of the interview, you will receive a five digit case number that you should use to check back for updates and/or requests for additional information. Be sure to write this number down and keep it in a safe place.
- You will then be interviewed about your question or concern. Your interview will not be recorded. Instead, the interviewer will be typing notes of your conversation. Whether or not you choose to provide your name is completely up to you.
- Within one business day of your call, a summary of the interview will be forwarded to the college. Our goal will be to have a basic response back to you in five business days.
- To receive your response, you will need to call back and provide the five digit case number that has been assigned to you. You will be able to continue checking back for updates until your case is closed.
Because of the built-in confidentiality, it is important that you try to be as specific as possible about the information you provide. At no time is any caller required to identify him or herself and all information provided can be completely confidential and anonymous.
If you have any questions regarding the Hotline, contact the Director of Human Resources at 304-637-1344.
Sick Leave Bank
This benefit provides full-time employees with a short-term disability plan. The College’s long-term disability plan can be accessed after six months of disability, but the College has no short term disability plan in place. The sick leave bank (once accrued sick leave time is exhausted) can help cover immediate loss of income if an employee must be absent from work due to non-work-related illness or injury. All full-time employees are eligible for membership on a voluntary basis.
For more information or to enroll in the Sick Leave Bank contact the Director of Human Resources.
