Mission, Aims and Objectives
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Division of Student Life is to provide students
with developmental and co-curricular educational opportunities
that support their personal growth and complement the academic
mission of St. Lawrence University.
OUR AIMS & OBJECTIVES
In our mission to provide students with developmental and co-curricular
educational opportunities our aim is to provide them with the
following abilities:
- The ability to serve as active participants in our community
and to engage in leadership and civic opportunities which will
assist them in developing leadership skills, learning the importance
and value of serving others and being a positive role model,
and creating a sense of mutual empowerment within the campus
community.
- The ability to develop a positive sense of self and an understanding
of their values and beliefs, enabling them to feel confident
in themselves as whole individuals and in their ability to express
themselves to others.
- The ability to recognize their comfort zones and to seek to
challenge themselves to move past these places.
- The ability to function in both speaker and listener roles
as well as the ability to consider the context and purpose of
a communicative act before choosing the content, tone and delivery
style of their message.
- The ability to cope with the successes and challenges of life
in ways that are healthy and demonstrate a respect for themselves
and others.
- The ability to understand and experience learning as an ongoing
and holistic process that has the potential to occur in multiple
settings and situations.
- The ability to develop and demonstrate intercultural competencies,
to see themselves in relation to the global community and to
engage in communication that respects the values and differences
of others.
- The ability to fully anticipate and accept the consequences
of their actions and decisions, specifically those that affect
themselves and others in the St. Lawrence and Canton communities,
and to take responsibility for their own academic and co-curricular
learning.
- The ability to manage their daily living in ways that allow
them to live and learn in a safe and healthy community.
