Student Affairs Mission and Vision
Our Mission
To actively engage students in holistic development, learning about themselves, their community and their world.
Our Vision
To be the premier leader in student learning and development, graduating exemplary global citizens.
Guiding Principles
We are guided in this mission by the Student Affairs core competencies that are embedded in the Change Model: Change Yourself, Change Your Community, Change Your World.
Our work with the Change Model is in turn guided by the following principles:
Student-centered: We believe that students are our first priority at St. Norbert College. We do this by challenging students to explore their full potential both inside and outside the classroom. Collaboratively, we create environments conducive to student learning and create opportunities for students to develop as individuals and as leaders.
Excellence: Student Affairs is committed to excellence in programs and services that provide opportunities for personal, intellectual, and spiritual development. We provide learning and service opportunities that meet or exceed best practices.
Diversity: In the spirit of
communio, we believe that differences in people and diverse points-of-view are valuable and that everyone can make a difference in our community. We embrace and actualize this belief when we are inclusive of people, we recognize our similarities through our shared humanity and we embrace our differences through mutual respect.
Integrity: We are dedicated to providing an environment of respect, trust, and confidence through accountability, consistency, collaboration and honest communication between all members of the community.
