Student Wellbeing and Multicultural Education

Fostering a Culture of Belonging

Mission and Vision

At U of M Crookston, we believe that a holistic approach to student wellness is crucial for student success. We understand that what happens out of the classroom can be just as impactful to the academic experience, and each student is unique in what they need to be happy, healthy, and successful.

Our holistic approach extends beyond individual support to encompass a broader mission and vision. We aim to create an environment where students can explore their identities, values, and personal needs, while preparing them to navigate a diverse and dynamic world with confidence.

Our mission to create a culture of belonging, by providing opportunities for students to learn about themselves and others, as well as by providing direct student support when a student is needing extra help.

Our holistic approach, achieved through Multicultural Education, as well as Preventative and Responsive student wellbeing initiatives, ensures a supportive and inclusive environment, helping students thrive academically, socially, and personally at U of M Crookston.
