Well-Being, Equity, and Belonging (WEB)

Providing a quality education to all students requires a demonstrated commitment to well-being, equity, and belonging at all levels of the College.

In and out of the classroom, we strive to foster an environment where our students engage with, understand, and appreciate perspectives, people, and cultures that may be very different from their own.

As President Nelson stated, we strive to be, 

“a Catawba where every person is truly included and loved in such a way that every member of our community can thrive and experience well-being.”

Catawba prides itself on being an open, safe, and welcoming learning environment for all students, faculty, staff, and others in our extended community.

We are a living-learning community where we learn about our differences and discover our sameness while teaching and encouraging each other to walk and grow. Each of us is an individual, and we respect our differences while looking for the common ground of our shared humanity.
