Dear Caring Campus Community,
The current mantra in education is “meeting the student where they are at” and developing student ready campus environments. But what does that mean? At IEBC, we know that research shows that cultivating a strong sense of belonging on college and university campuses is vital for student success. Despite this, many institutions and organizations place the responsibility for overcoming loneliness and establishing connections with the students themselves. This often leaves students feeling isolated without the necessary support system to thrive.
At Caring Campus, we hold a different view; it is the institution's responsibility — not the student's — to build a connected, supportive environment. Unlike other efforts, Caring Campus shifts the focus from students to institutions, partnering with staff and faculty to create a culture where caring is fundamental and every student feels valued and included.
