We Learn, Lead and Serve as a Community.

C2C Primary Goal: To increase students’ understanding of community in the Catholic and Marianist traditions.

Learning Outcome 1: Students will demonstrate that they have read the C2C document (PDF) by being able to name the three principles of community living. Examples of experiences that foster this outcome include New Student Orientation, Housing and Residence Life Floor Meetings, and events and activities related to the C2C marketing campaign.

Learning Outcome 2: Students will use the language of the C2C to discuss their experiences of living in community. This outcome has been divided into multiple levels to foster developmentally sequenced experiences for students. The highest level for each subdivision of this outcome is below.

Student identifies a commitment to develop or practice one or more behaviors associated with the C2C principles, examples of how they have, and a description of challenges involved in doing so and/or student identifies specific experiences of community that have challenged and affected their personal development.
