Porter's Theme
Our theme, “Ars Longa, Vita Brevis: Life is Short, Art Endures,” points to our emphasis on both scholarly and creative endeavors. Through our academic courses and the numerous co-curricular events sponsored by Porter College, students experience diverse exhibitions and performances and learn about the cultures in which they are created, performed and interpreted.
Porter's Students
While Porter’s theme is connected to the arts, the majority of Porter students graduate with a major outside of the arts. Porter students represent the sciences, humanities, and engineering, and have also found compelling co-curricular reasons for affiliating with Porter College. This diversity of academic interest provides the basis for wide-ranging collaboration and debate and for the exceptional appreciation of individual differences that is a hallmark of Porter.
