- It's part of our foundation,
it's part of our DNA to
cultivate the mind and the heart.
We don't train the mind at
the expense of the heart.
It's not just about what
we do in the classroom,
but it's in our relationships
and our collaborative
working environment with folks
in our student affairs office
and in the athletics departments,
our coaches and our
staff all across campus
that we understand that
we're trying to promote
an ethical leader in a Stonehill student.
And that happens in the
classroom where they learn
to develop leadership skills,
it happens on the
athletic field certainly,
it happens in our student life experience,
it happens in our residence halls
and we view that as inclusive
we don't view these components
as separate and distinct
that don't have a
relationship to each other.
And in all of those places,
we want them to think
critically about themselves
and about their world and we
know that the academic pursuits
are first and foremost,
and that's where they
learn how to cultivate
themselves intellectually
and academically.
How to craft an argument,
how to speak clearly,
how to think clearly, how to
deal with controversial issues
in a thoughtful and civil way.
And then they extend out
onto the athletic field
and into the residence halls
and into their internships
or their externships or their
study abroad opportunities.
So at every point along the way,
we want students to learn
how to think and act
and lead as responsible citizens.
And I think that we do that pretty well.
