Core Values

In Residential Programs, the following core values guide how we conduct our work with individuals and communities.  Through our programs, services, and University partnerships, we strive to instill these values in all of our residential communities:

Engagement:   We encourage intellectual and interpersonal connections within the residential and University community, Morningside Heights, New York City, and beyond.

Development:  We endorse healthy life balance that encompasses nurturing the mind, body, and spirit in order to maximize potential.

Responsibility:  We seek to develop community members who live their values, are accountable to self and others, and reflect on the impact of their actions and behaviors.

Inclusivity:  We foster recognition of commonalities and differences across a spectrum of identities and seek the perspectives not present in our pursuit of shared understanding.

Learning:  We celebrate all experiences as opportunities for education by embracing inquiry and discourse to promote transformational growth.
