THE MISSION and VISION OF UNIVERSITY HOUSING & CAMPUS DINING
Communication is a process utilizing verbal methods, non-verbal methods, and active listening techniques in which participants impart information, ideas, and thoughts as well as create and share meaning.
Inclusion is understanding, valuing, and actively engaging differences in views, approaches, styles and aspects of individuality (e.g. gender, culture, sexuality, race, socioeconomic status, etc.) that add multiple perspectives to a group’s activity. ( Based on Exploring Leadership by Komives, et. al.)
Learning is the enduring passion and ability for self-discovery and the acquisition of new skills and knowledge through experience, study, and dialogue.
Support is offering students the resources needed to succeed in and out of the classroom through student employment, opportunities for leadership, affordable living choices, community engagement, interaction with caring staff, and striving to meet personal needs.
Sustainability is simultaneously meeting environmental, economic, and community needs by using, developing, and protecting resources at a rate and in a manner that enables us to meet current demands while ensuring that future generations can meet their needs.
Wellness is intentionally creating opportunities for physical, spiritual, mental , and emotional health and self-improvement through education and programming.
The offices of Campus Dining and University Housing are committed to the educational mission and values of Western Oregon University. In support of the university’s mission, we have developed strategic initiatives to serve as a road map for student success, customer satisfaction, and personnel development while engaging with our organization.
