Student Life and Policies

PHILOSOPHY ON STUDENT LIFE

Sewanee expects students to be engaged, honorable, and responsible citizens of the community and the college.

The Student Life Division believes that holistic human development requires a constant inquiry of meaningful questions.  We ask our students to consider
⇒   Who am I?
⇒   What are my gifts?
⇒   What is my place in the world?

Our goal is to support programs and processes that encourage and facilitate consideration of these questions by developing the following:
⇒  Mentorship
⇒  Autonomy and responsibility
⇒  Ethical and critical decision-making
⇒  Effective communication
⇒  Abilities in problem solving
⇒  Engaged and honorable citizenship
⇒  Global perspectives that develop respect and consideration for others.
