Statement of Philosophy
Concordia has described itself in this way: "We are in the people-building
business...building people for the challenges which face them in the
21st century...building people for greater service" in God’s kingdom.
Concordia concentrates on building "whole" men and women by
focusing on student development of not only the intellectual self but
also the emotional, physical, cultural and spiritual self.
The goals of Student
Services are therefore to promote and encourage in each student:
- A positive and
realistic self-appraisal;
- Intellectual
growth;
- Appropriate personal
and occupational choices
- Development of
and commitment to values in the Christian tradition;
- Physical fitness
and health issue awareness;
- The ability to
relate meaningfully to others;
- The capacity to
engage in a personally satisfying and effective style of living;
- The capacity to
appreciate cultural and aesthetic differences; and
- The ability to
work independently and interdependently.
