Calverton State University is an invented public university founded in 1887 in the fictional college town of Calverton. Home of the Calverton Herons, it serves undergraduate and graduate students across seven colleges, anchored by the historic Founders Quad and the Linden Hall bell tower. The university, its town, colleges, halls, programs, athletics, and people are entirely fictional and exist only to give this synthetic Drupal fixture a coherent, domain-plausible higher-ed identity.
Calverton State University was founded in 1887 in Calverton and is home of the Calverton Herons. Our public mission is captured in our motto: “Where curiosity becomes contribution.”
