Center for Campus Community and Connection

Mission Statement

Center for Campus Community and Connection (The Center)

At Lindenwood University, The Center for Campus Community and Connection is dedicated to creating a welcoming, affirming, and supportive environment where every student feels seen, valued, heard, and empowered to succeed. Rooted in mutual respect, fairness, integrity, and belonging, The Center serves as a space where students from all walks of life can thrive, learn, and grow together.

Guided by Lindenwood University’s values and commitment to enhancing the student experience, The Center supports the growth and success of the New Majority outlined in the LU Strategic Plan. We put students first by fostering meaningful connections, promoting student-centered learning, and ensuring access to the resources, opportunities, and support systems necessary for academic, personal, and professional success.

The Center also serves as an advocate and liaison for ALL students by connecting them with campus resources and providing guidance that helps them feel supported, empowered, and successful throughout their college journey. Through collaboration, community engagement, and holistic support, we strive to cultivate resilience, leadership, and a strong sense of belonging.

We thrive together by creating a safe and inclusive atmosphere that celebrates individuality while encouraging shared success and unity across campus. Our goal is to inspire students to awaken the Lion within, discover their roar, and make their unique mark on the world.

At The Center, every student is the center.
