Ethics and integrity are the hallmarks of good character. School environments that adopt a culture of ethics and integrity play important role in producing that student that demonstrate strong moral principles such as respect, impartiality, social responsibility, transparency, and honesty.
The freedoms of inquiry and expression are vital to the educational mission of the university; and are central to shared governance, and the discovery and dissemination of knowledge. Consequently, members of the University Community are free to examine and to discuss all questions of interest to them, and are free to express ideas publicly and privately.
Diversity and inclusion play an integral role in producing an empowered and engaged community. It is when this type of collaborative and inclusive conversation occurs that people feel comfortable enough to step out of their comfort zone, speak their mind, and participate.
The student-centeredness, empathy, and innovation (inventiveness / resourcefulness) in particular will carry St. Louis through its objectives and attract the best breed of students and trainers.
For the learning community at St. Louis University, engaging public groups with their teaching (Pedagogy and curriculum) and research tends to serve three purposes for them:
• to share and inform others about their work
• to listen to people and communities outside the University
• to collaborate with people and communities beyond academia
Having a clear purpose and a consideration of the people you are hoping to engage with are the foundations of high-quality public engagement and shapes the type of work you may choose to do. No matter what your skills, experience, motivations and ambitions, getting involved in public engagement can deliver significant benefits to you, your research and to wider society.
Environmental stewardship also referred to as sustainable development refers to the responsible use and protection of the natural environment through active participation in conservation efforts and sustainable practices by actors ranging from individuals, small groups, nonprofit organizations, federal agencies, and other collective networks.
We believe that sustainable learning is only possible if there is enough space for experimentation, games and critical thinking. That is why we have completely restructured the classical course of studies.
Pure frontal teaching does not exist in our classrooms. Instead, our instructors become individual learning coaches for you. Together, you will not only acquire specialist knowledge, but also hone your soft and hard skills. In order to achieve this, we rely on direct communication.
Trying out is allowed here! Even welcomed, since we rely on experience-based learning. It’s not always about right or wrong, above all it’s about trying things out and getting to know each other. At SLUI, you don’t study for the professor or the examinations office, but primarily for your own projects and your whole (professional) life.
You don’t have to do countless internships after you graduate. Practical teamwork on real projects and semester internships with partners from the real world will prepare you optimally for the professional world. At the same time, you will develop social skills such as the ability to accept criticism, to think outside the box and to solve problems creatively. These are exactly the skills that employers expect from their employees today.
In addition, you will not only have a certificate in your hand, but also project references from real world partners, that you can provide alongside your job applications. AND: you’ll know where your personal strengths lie.
Join our academic community, develop your character, and achieve excellence.
