You Matter. You Inspire. You Belong.

Southeastern’s core values underpin the university’s culture and character of excellence and caring, and serve as the foundation on which everything else is built. They also define who we are and what you can expect from us.

  • EXCELLENCE: Continually striving for the highest level of achievement; overcoming challenges with reflection, improvement, innovation and reinvention.
  • CARING: Serving the needs of others with respect, understanding and compassion; affirming the differences among individuals, values and ideas.

The mission of the University Belonging Council is to advise the President, division heads, and other appropriate personnel on a wide array of issues and initiatives related to campus diversity, inclusion, and belonging.

At Southeastern, we are committed to advancing strategic initiatives that foster diversity, inclusion, and belonging across all aspects of university life. We embrace the richness of belonging and understand the importance of representation for all members of our community. We strive to create an environment where accessibility and awareness are foundational, and where tolerance, respect, and empowerment are actively cultivated.
