Ethos Statement
Division of Student Affairs – C.W. Post Campus, Long Island University

The C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University is committed to the advancement of learning and service to society. Its educational mission reflects a commitment to intellectual rigor, social justice, and an active engagement of contemporary issues.

The Division of Student Affairs complements the Campus’s mission by sponsoring programs, services, and activities that encourage students to develop academically, socially, physically, spiritually, and personally. In partnership with students, faculty, and staff, Student Affairs helps to create an educational climate consistent with the principles set forth in the Campus mission statement.

These principles challenge students to strive for excellence, to become men and women in service to others, to integrate curricular and co-curricular learning, to develop talents through discovery and reflection, and to be concerned for the welfare of each person. To achieve these ideals, all students are expected to contribute, through their words, actions, and commitments, to the development and sustenance of a community characterized by respect, caring, responsibility, and honesty. These characteristics are essential to ensure the rights and privileges of all students and to preserve the integrity of our educational community.

Working together as a community, students, faculty, and administrators help foster a Campus atmosphere that furthers the mission of the Campus. Students are expected to adhere to the Campus ethos. This expectation calls for behavior which demonstrates the five principles of the C.W. Post Student Code of Conduct: respect for oneself, respect for others, respect for property, respect for authority, and honesty.
