Building Welcoming Communities

The College Houses are committed to uplifting individuals and communities and challenging one another to understand and value what both binds and distinguishes us. We believe that our residential communities thrive when we consider, acknowledge, and honor all residents. We ask that each community member (resident, staff, or visitor) commit to doing this through the following steps: 

•  Actively listen to experiences different from your own 

• Seek educational opportunities about issues and current events while embracing all intellectual perspectives

• Speak up when you witness or hear something disrespectful even when it is not convenient

• Engage with your community through joining organizations, attending programs, and participating in service and/or advocacy
