Identity and Inclusion at Bellarmine
Hear from the Dr. Patricia Carver Office of Identity and Inclusion and Bellarmine Admission's own Diversity and Access Committee about how the Bellarmine community cultivates informed leaders who are empowered to enact change. BU community members have an appreciation for diverse cultures and perspectives with an understanding of the intersections of our identities and their impact on the lives of others. As empowered agents of change, the BU community demonstrates inclusive practices and advocate for social change to ensure equity for all. This session will discuss the many opportunities, organizations, and resources available to students of color, first generation students, and all who are active in our inclusive campus community.
Honors Program and Learning Communities
The Honors Program provides undergraduates the opportunity to challenge themselves academically, both inside and outside the classroom, over the course of their four years at Bellarmine. Honors courses focus on less memorization and lecturing and more critical thinking and discussion.
Students in learning communities take a cluster of courses together, interact with peers who share similar interests, participate in out of class activities and are connected with a mentor. BU operates five learning communities including Galileo (health professions), Compassio (social responsibility, civic engagement and leadership), Eureka (STEM), Explore (undecided on major/career path), Valor (first year and transfer Active Duty, Guard, Reserves and Veteran students), and Terra (environmental studies).
