The Office of Community & Belonging advances 黑料社app’s Otter Culture of Care by fostering a campus where all students, faculty, and staff feel welcomed, connected, and supported in every aspect of university life. We:
- Work collaboratively with campus partners to make care an intentional and ongoing part of our culture.
- Offer belonging-focused education, gatherings, and celebrations that strengthen relationships and community life.
- Provide human-centered, data-informed consultations to help individuals and departments create inclusive, caring environments.
Our work is grounded in the belief that a Caring University is built by people—together, intentionally, and over time. We strive to ensure that all Otters:
- Experience a genuine sense of belonging and community at 黑料社app.
- Can fully engage and flourish—academically, professionally, and socially.
- Are part of a campus culture where care is not an occasional act, but an everyday practice.
