Residential College Mission Statement
Finis Origine Pendet
The UCA Residential College Program is a community of learners that was implemented in 1997 to educate the whole student. To do this, the program provides each student with opportunities to develop her or his academic, professional, and societal lives.
Academically, we expect our graduates to:
know themselves as discerning thinkers who are able to evaluate and interpret complex information from a variety of sources,
have a strong commitment to making learning a life-long process,
express themselves thoughtfully and with meaning in a variety of contexts
Professionally, we expect our graduates to:
work well in teams, including those of varied composition; building consensus and working with dissension;
utilize learned technological skills in ways which further and enhance their careers;
act creatively, ethically, and with initiative.
Socially, we expect our graduates to:
demonstrate a sense of commitment to local and global concerns;
contribute their time, talents, and efforts in service to the community;
recognize themselves as part of a diverse and ever-changing world.
Because "the end depends upon the beginning," the UCA Residential College Program dedicates its faculty and resources to making the transitions from high school to college and college-to-career both meaningful and successful. By offering a space for conversations about things that matter, we build the communalities and connections so essential to our education and our society.
