College provides students opportunities to examine and rethink spirituality, values, and faith. Spirituality is defined as a dynamic expression of who we are, truly. Students' spiritual development can be assisted as faculty and staff acknowledge what is personally sacred and valuable; institutions commit to assisting in such development; communities strive for consistency in mission, goals, and actions; time and space are provided for reflection and growth; genuine care is expressed; service opportunities are offered; living models and images of the spirited life are shared; and faculty and staff attend to their own spiritual development through living together as a spirited community.
