Philosophy
Rockhurst University sponsors programs, services, and
activities that encourage students to develop academically,
spiritually, socially, physically, and emotionally.
In a partnership among students, faculty, and staff,
the University helps to create an educational environment
with principles rooted in its Jesuit, Catholic tradition.
These principles challenge students to strive for excellence
to become men and women for others, to integrate classroom
and experiential learning, to develop talents through
discovery and reflection, and to share a common concern
with each person. To achieve these ideals, all students
are expected to contribute, through their words, actions
and commitments, to the development and sustenance of
a community characterized by purpose, openness, justice,
discipline, care, and celebration. A student enrolled
at Rockhurst University assumes a responsibility to
behave in a manner compatible with its educational environment
and community principles. The following guidelines,
while not exhaustive and limiting, illustrate behaviors
and actions that are incompatible with the institutional
mission of Learning, Leadership, and Service in the
Jesuit Tradition. |
