Davenport University

Today, under the leadership of Dr. Richard J. Pappas, Davenport University is aggressively pursuing Vision 2020, which calls for a culture of quality, leading-edge programs based on the needs of students and the marketplace, high standards of measurable excellence, and results that exceed employer expectations, empower Davenport graduates and foster stronger communities. Under Pappas’ leadership, Davenport is expanding again with new facilities like the Donald W. Maine College of Business building, and new programs.

Since its founding in 1866, Davenport University has grown to become the second largest private, non-profit institution of higher education in Michigan. With 11 campuses serving nearly 8,000 students across Michigan, Davenport eagerly embraces a future of growth and new opportunities while also understanding and honoring the rich legacy of its storied past.
