Community + Values Initiative

#YouBelongAtDU

People yearn to feel connection and a sense of belonging, even as they pursue their individual goals. 在新MG线上电子游戏尤其如此, where we create knowledge, strive to have an impact, and are dedicated to the public good.

Community + Values is the focused and empathic work we are doing as a community, to strengthen ourselves from within. 我们努力成为社区的实干家、放大器和连接器. The initiative began in spring 2019 as a way to compose a collective narrative that creates a greater sense of shared values and belonging. 我们邀请了数千名教师,并与他们建立了联系, staff, students and alumni to contribute their voices and energy and help us explore. 而这正是他们一直在做的.

结果是一系列的社区对话, events and initiatives that have helped us understand the opportunities we have as a community to create a greater sense of belonging for all. We know that DU does not yet feel like “home” to everyone who wants to belong, and we want to change that. 我们也知道,很多人在MG线上电子游戏已经完全适应了, 我们想要放大这些体验.

We want to hear from you. 你的声音和你的心属于这份工作. DU is your home. It’s our home.

Who are we as a community?

Through this pathway, 我们通过各种活动积极探索和构建社区, programs, webinars, and dialogic sessions. We explore the following questions: How do we build community and show up for one another, within and across our disciplines, divisions, departments, and communities? 我们作为一个学术机构的身份是如何形成的, 造福和激励社区的每一个人连接到杜, regardless of the role they play?

What is our collective relationship?

How do we access, create and live in community—individually, in small collectives and as a whole? As we share our stories, we learn about the real differences in the ways we experience community. 同时,我们共同价值观的一些模式也出现了. Activities include a Community Voices, 增加社交媒体亮点的存在, 并通过You Rock展示我们令人惊叹的社区成员的工作!

我们的系统和结构如何反映我们的价值观?

We create and adopt practices, and hold ourselves accountable to making decisions that reflect our communal commitments. We draw on the employee engagement and COACHE surveys and campus climate work, expand our use of inclusive pedagogy tools and resources through the Inclusive Teaching Practices website, and create community-led workshops and conversations for defining our shared values and how we imagine living them.

The Launch of DU Story Mosaic: Sharing Stories, Building Community - A Storytelling Initiative:

The DU Story Mosaic is a cross-campus collaboration that recognizes the incredible power of storytelling. Modeled after the Human Library 并以我们的C+V社区之声工作为基础, this initiative aims to bring together the entire DU Community to engage in a meaningful exchange of our unique stories. 我们希望社区成员能够倾听, learn from each other, 并在此过程中练习反思,体验个人的成长. We also seek to inspire change within our organization through storytelling. The Mosaic will offer participants the opportunity to share stories through a variety of creative expressions to cultivate an embodied community experience where everyone can feel safe to be vulnerable and their authentic selves.
