unknown author3 years ago Our visionConcordia University will nurture the capacity of every learner in our community to make a positive impact on the world – big or small, local or international. To do this, we will prioritize a learning experience that is holistic, promotes agency and curiosity, and equips learners to respond to their own needs and those of the world around them.Our valuesThis vision builds and expands on the legacies and foundational values that have characterized a Concordia education. We welcome all learners and ensure they feel like they belong Pillars of student belonging include having a seamless experience where programs and processes are designed paying attention to learner well-being. Mentorship is essential, whether from a faculty or staff member, a peer, or one of our alumni. To ensure learners always feel welcome, the university community must work together across silos, placing the learner at the centre of our activities. Community can only be formed when we show respect for each other and recognize that diversity is our strength. We offer a holistic university experience A holistic university experience respects the whole learner, including their academic, social, cultural, and civic development. It recognizes that learning happens inside and outside the classroom and offers opportunities for growth in all aspects of the learner’s university experience. It develops resilience in our learners and a curiosity to keep learning to be ready for a changing world. Diverse learning experiences – no matter where they take place – should allow opportunity for growth across all aspects of the learner.
