Care for Our Common Home

Demonstrate care for all creation by embodying the urgent call of "Laudato si'" through teaching, scholarship, campus culture, and community partnerships.

The message of Laudato si' tells us we must not only speak the words, but also take immediate action in concrete ways at all levels of the university to care for our common home. From messaging on campus for our visitors and our community, to policies affecting how we do business, to facilitating engagement from our staff, students, faculty and administrators, creating and supporting curricular efforts at all levels, we identify areas of opportunity to create a truly shared and lived vision for Care for Our Common Home.
