Baldwin Wallace University
Baldwin Wallace University (BW) is a private university in Berea, Ohio, United States. Established in 1845 as Baldwin Institute by Methodist businessman John Baldwin, it merged with nearby German Wallace College in 1913 to become Baldwin-Wallace College. There are two campus sites: Berea, which serves as the main campus, and Corporate College East in Warrensville Heights, Ohio. The university enrolls approximately 3,300 full-time undergraduate and graduate students as of fall 2024. Baldwin Wallace's athletic teams compete as members of NCAA Division III athletics in the Ohio Athletic Conference.
Both the university and the town of Berea were founded by Methodist settlers from Connecticut. Among early settlers of this area was John Baldwin. He enjoyed early success in the sandstone quarry industry and founded Baldwin Institute in 1845. Baldwin Institute became Baldwin University in 1856. The school accepted students regardless of race or gender.
Jacob Rothweiler, a professor at Baldwin University, named German Wallace College (founded in 1855) after James Wallace. Baldwin University and German Wallace College merged in 1913 to form Baldwin–Wallace College.
During World War II, Baldwin Wallace was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the V-12 Navy College Training Program which offered students a path to a Navy commission.
Alfred Bryan Bonds was president in the mid-20th century; Baldwin Wallace grew as a suburban institution. Bonds oversaw the construction of fifteen buildings on campus during his 26-year tenure. Neal Malicky followed him as college president. Mark Collier served as president for seven years.[citation needed]
In the fall of 2011, a task force was developed by BW president Dick Durst. On February 11, 2012, it was announced that Baldwin–Wallace College would become Baldwin Wallace University after approval by the BW Board of Trustees. The name would become effective on July 1, 2012, with complete implementation by the end of 2012. In addition to the new university designation, seal, and logo, "B-W" would drop the hyphen in its name.
The last sitting president prior to Obama to visit BW was Ronald Reagan during George H. W. Bush's 1988 Presidential run. In 2019, BW trustees voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church after 174 years.
The campus is located in Berea, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. The campus is built around land that originally was two separate schools that combined in 1913. The campus itself is located next to Berea-Midpark High School and is integrated into the neighborhoods of Berea.
