Philosophy

Learning is a lifelong adventure. The Campus Center's programs and services focus on the learning that occurs beyond the classroom. Co-curricular learning is integral to students' total higher education experience. This experimental learning prepares our students for the transition towards independence and self-responsibility and to support their life and career changes. Campus Center's programs and services provide hands-on opportunities to practice concepts and skills that complement and enhance their academic learning. Students are encouraged to seek a higher level of excellence than imagined in individual social competency as well as group effectiveness.

Mission
