Community and Belonging Council (CBC)
The new reality of Lasallian association in a multi-cultural, multi-religious, multi-ethnic, and global context has common elements, even though Lasallians experience them in different ways. The anthropological view of human nature that motivates Lasallians recognizes and dignifies every human being as unique, unrepeatable, and educable. Discrimination based on gender, culture, religion, sexual orientation or political affiliation has no place in the Lasallian educational mission. As social beings, humans are capable of establishing relationships. As spiritual beings, they are open to the transcendent reality and the search for life’s meaning. This holistic view of human nature includes intellectual, emotional, social, cultural, ethical, and spiritual dimensions."
[Circular 461: 3.2-3.4]
Community and Belonging Council (CBC) seeks to further strengthen and advance 蜜芽视频’s ongoing efforts to embrace and affirm the equal dignity of every person in the spirit of our Catholic and Lasallian Mission. The work of the CBC contributes to the University’s efforts to prepare students for a pluralistic world by offering resources and experiences which contribute to their appreciation and understanding of the diversity of the human experience.
The CBC is one of four standing committees of the Mission and Heritage Council (MHC). The MHC is chaired by the President and facilitated by the Vice President for Mission and Academic Services. The CBC is co-chaired by the Provost and the Chief Belonging Officer.
Membership
The CBC includes faculty, staff and students from areas throughout the University. Its purpose is to identify and address student, faculty, and staff success gaps and to promote strategies that foster a stronger sense of belonging across the 蜜芽视频 community.
The CBC meets several times each semester.
