Dear Caring Campus Community,
Several recent reports, including from our partner the Trellis Foundation, have highlighted the growing challenge of student loneliness. At a time when many students feel disconnected on campus, the work of Caring Campus is more important than ever.
Research shows that students thrive when they experience a strong sense of connection and belonging. Caring Campus helps create these environments, ensuring every student feels seen, supported, and welcomed.
One powerful Caring Campus strategy is the warm referral. When we walk a student to a building or department rather than simply pointing them in the right direction, we do far more than provide directions – we communicate care.
That brief walk becomes an opportunity to ensure a student reaches their destination, to learn their name, to hear their story, and to help meet an immediate need. These small moments often leave lasting impressions.
