Walden's Vision, Mission, and Goals This paper will address how Walden University’s Vision and Mission statements support in relation to a student’s goals to improve some element of the world around them. Part of Walden University Mission stamen is about “they can effect positive social change” (Walden University, 2016, para. 3) by providing programs that will have a component of public service conscious to the program. As a student this promotes awareness and allows a student to participate in solutions to improve social as well as business environments. Walden University’s envision that “knowledge [to be} judged worthy to the degree that it can be applied by its graduates to the immediate solutions of critical societal” (Walden University,
Additionally, Loyola University Chicago’s mission statement emphasizes spreading knowledge through a social justice lens: “We are Chicago’s Jesuit, Catholic University a diverse community seeking God in all things and working to expand knowledge in the service of humanity through learning, justice and faith.” (“Mission & Identity: Loyola University Chicago,” 2016, para. 1). Indeed, Loyola University Chicago is very proud of their Jesuit roots, and believes their Ignatian heritage strengthens the impact of their social responsibilities (“Mission & Identity: Loyola University Chicago,” 2016). Additionally, Loyola’s position within the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities allows them to spread “the service of faith and the promotion of justice” both nationally and internationally (“Mission & Identity: Loyola University Chicago,”
I have a 2.65 GPA currently before I transferred to SGU I had a 3.0 GPA. I believe moving off campus will help me promote the mission because it will help me focus on what matters the most to me which is my academics, communal, and spiritual growth as a Christian. Before I came to SGU I had great grades, doing things for the community, and being able to be with my local church. I wasn't living on campus while at my last school so I could focus more on my school and God. I will explain why this is important to me and for my life to live off campus.

Regent University allows students to grow both academically and spiritually into Christian leaders that will greatly impact the world to advance the Kingdom of God. Regent not only teaches students, but they also equip students to fulfill the Great Commission; which is to go out and teach the nations about Jesus. My vision after graduating from Regent is to heal God’s broken people through a holistic approach; addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual needs through the formation of a nonprofit organization. A MA in Practical Theology would enable me to teach and minister from an outreach approach; sometimes teaching to the homeless in the streets, other times reaching those in shelters, and also those broken within the church. This demographic appeals to me, because I know what it feels like to be broken and lost; and I further understand the power that is in Jesus and his ability to restore and heal.
Mawuli Bossiade Essay 1 Senior Capstone The Mission of the University of Charleston is to educate each student for a life of productive work, enlightened living, and community involvement (University of charleston). The University of Charleston goal is to make sure student enhance their knowledge in order to contribute to the society they are living in. The mission statement has three major points, which are productive work, enlightened living and community involvement. They prepare the student to live in a changing society by developing the knowledge and abilities to be a lifelong learner (University of charleston). As a student from Charleston we have to complete the Liberal Learning Outcomes (LLOs) before we can graduate.
Coming from a different culture but still embracing the Christian values that Loma Linda University emphasizes, I believe that my unique background and personal experiences distinguish my application from others. Growing up in Egypt, where the gap between social classes is significant, my parents always stressed the need to prioritize service into my life encouraging me to dedicate time in volunteering and helping others. As a result, my experience has grown from volunteering to serve as a camp leader for orphans in the summer to participating in international dental service trips. These involvements would allow me to use my skills in organizing missions trips at Loma Linda. Being a Coptic Orthodox Christian enables me to add diversity to the
The mission statement and values of Holy Family University exhibit many essential principles to both the administration and the world around us. These values, including family, respect, integrity, service and responsibility, learning, and vision can have a strong impact on the student body and our community. Students attending Holy Family can gain a full understanding of the fundamentals which contribute to the core values and the school itself. At least one of these core values can help you overcome a problem you may stumble upon from day to day. This can include helping another peer in one way or another in the classroom, showing respect to your professors and peers, and even taking part in the presidential election outside of school.
Marywood University incorporates a mission statement where they base a campus state of well-being off a list of core values including, empowerment, service, excellence, catholic identity and respect. We are working towards a goal in a community at Marywood that presents these core values as a set of words to live by on campus, but in our hearts we have to connect meaning to them. Sometimes, it might be hard as a college freshman to know these words by their definition but rather what they mean to them and how they can actually put them into action. The book “A Good Man” and the speech “This is Water” represent the Marywood core value of Excellence in two completely different ways in which a Good Man represents the physical actions of Excellence
Although I was only at the bud of SLA’s growth, the mission statement it still holds today was engraved in me from the beginning. SLA pushed me to lead to my best ability through different aspects of my life including academics, moral growth, and service. I learned to be a leader is not simply someone who tells others what to do, it is someone who embodies a strong sense self, but at the same time selfless. A leader shows others how to work hard in life and radiate love in every encounter with others. What I learned throughout my two years of SLA was a springboard to help me grow and prosper in high school.
Understanding and embracing Millsaps University's core values is fundamental to my desire to be part of this University. The university's commitment to excellent leadership and a passion for social justice align with my personal beliefs. I am excited about being part of a community that shares a commitment to making a positive impact on the world through education and service. Millsaps University serves as the ideal college for my career
So many people go into college unaware of any deeper motivation than an education, an experience, or athletics. They do not go into college with any adequate reasoning besides the “questionable social aspirations” and “tentative vocational goals” (Holmes 1). Yet the Christian college is worth more than such goals, the Christian college allows students to pursue academic excellence while keeping God at the forefront of every area of study and campus activity. The goal of the Christian college is to not compartmentalize Faith and Education but to integrate it in everything the college does.
Although there are many things we do well, there is room for improvement in the area of accentuating our school’s heritage. As stated in Timothy J. Cook’s Architects of Catholic Culture: Designing and Building Catholic Culture in Catholic Schools (2001), “it is incumbent upon Catholic educational leaders to capture and attend to the Catholic imagination by utilizing the building blocks of culture including ceremonies, rituals, symbols, and human communication” (8). In my school history inventory, I have suggested a number of action steps to maximize the impact of Mercy High School’s culture in the community. However, the most important action steps involve two of Cook’s “seven norms for Catholic educational leaders” (2001, p. 95-102).
All of the reviews pertaining to Saint Mary’s focus on the affordability, quality of education, and dedication of faculty to imparting the best education possible and taking a genuine interest in the students they are working with. I do not think I could have found a better marriage of those three detrimental facets of the education process if I looked the world over. Saint Mary’s will not only be able to help me rediscover my love of learning, but also allow me to keep my head above water, financially, and better prepare for what lies
Being a man for others means being able to fill demands for justice, and not being limited by time and place; a man for others is willing to do what is necessary for serving others. Being a man for others is also being Christlike by knowing when to be selfless, noble, and even affable and joyful, as Christ is. This is the path that I hope to pursue at Jesuit and I am encouraged to know that this is the path that God desires for me to pursue. Though the athletics programs and facilities on the Strake campus are desirable, I can more importantly be academically successful at Strake as well. The rigorous yet rewarding acedemic program at Strake Jesuit will benefit me by making me a mature, college and career-ready
