Mission Congruence: Student
Growth and Development While
Enrolled in College
St. Norbert College Mission Statement
St. Norbert College, a Catholic liberal arts college
embracing the Norbertine ideal
of communio, provides an educational
environment that fosters intellectual, spiritual and
personal development.
Our three core traditions promote student learning
outcomes that include skill development in critical
and analytical thought, quantification, synthesis,
problem solving and communication. Our
students learn to apply these skills as responsible
citizens of a diverse, interdependent and
changing world. In all aspects of campus life,
students are encouraged to identify, test and
strengthen their moral convictions; act with
personal integrity; develop meaningful personal
goals; and build relationships based on mutual
respect.
