Our Role
The Student Care and Support team at Belmont University partners with campus resources to provide outreach and support for students facing significant or complex challenges that may affect their academic and personal success. We work directly with students to highlight their personal strengths, connect them to the right resources, and support them in navigating obstacles that could impact their path to achieving their goals.
Philosophy of Care:
Self-advocacy: We demonstrate our commitment to whole-person formation by empowering students to pursue their own path toward fulfillment in all dimensions of wellness.
Compassion: We inspire hope by communicating with empathy and by coaching students to overcome barriers that may impede their ability to thrive.
Collaboration: We champion an integrative approach to student well-being by partnering with both campus and community resources to support students.
Inclusion: We cultivate a caring environment where students of all identities, backgrounds, and experiences feel welcomed, respectfully heard, and accepted. We advocate for a campus culture of belonging for all.
Evidence-informed: We utilize evidence, data, and best practices to assist students in achieving learning outcomes.
Integrity: We hold ourselves to a high standard of ethics by avoiding conflicts of interest, remaining objective and impartial, maintaining student privacy, and operating within our scope of care. We balance the needs, interests, and safety of individual students and the greater Belmont community.
