STUDENT CREED
At Rockhurst University we believe community is…
… purposeful
a place where faculty and students share academic goals and work together to strengthen teaching and learning on the campus.
… open
a place where freedom of expression of beliefs is uncompromisingly protected and where civility is role modeled and powerfully affirmed .
… just
a place where the value and integrity of each person is honored and respected.
… disciplined
a place where individuals accept their obligations to the group and where well-defined governance procedures guide behavior for the common good.
… caring
a place where the well being of each member is sensitively supported and where service to others is encouraged.
… celebrative
a place in which the Jesuit heritage of Rockhurst University is remembered, diversity is valued, and where rituals affirming both tradition and change are widely shared.
