"Without community, there is no liberation.——奥德丽·洛德
Welcome to the Office of 学生归属感 and 包容的卓越. Inspired by the Brothers of Holy Cross and in alignment with St. 爱德华的 mission, we recognize the inherent dignity of every single student. Our purpose is to foster student belonging by actively cultivating a 尊重ful, inclusive environment that provides student support and encourages collaboration, learning and accountability across the student body. We fulfill our mission by educating the hearts and minds of students who will serve as future leaders within a global community, providing opportunities for all students to engage in experiential learning through critical and sometimes difficult dialogue, 领导力发展与服务.
概述
The Office of 学生归属感 and 包容的卓越 collaborates with campus partners and builds community, educating students to advocate for positive social change that benefits all of us. We support students in their formation as a whole person and provide holistic educational opportunities for the Hilltop. Our office exists to create 尊重ful and supportive student spaces that foster student success and achievement, while intentionally valuing the identities of all students in our community.
It is the responsibility of the university community to guide students in the formation of the whole person. As stated in the university’s mission, “Students are helped to understand themselves, clarify their personal values and recognize their responsibility to the world community.” Below and within these pages, you will find our areas of focus along with ways to get involved.
学生归属感
Student belonging is our primary focus through our sustainable and collaborative work to welcome, 尊重, and value all students who enroll at St. 爱德华的. We know that students learn and perform better when they are involved, 连接, 并信任他们周围的社区. We have assigned the term “student belonging” as a means to share with all incoming and enrolled students that we not only welcome students to the community, but also invite them to help us create a campus community rooted in shared values like 尊重, 正义, 和平, 和责任.
In order to create a community where students feel valued, it is imperative to provide spaces where students can expect to feel 尊重ed, 所见所闻. This sense of belonging is important to our office, and you will find many opportunities to connect.
