R.I.C.H. Statement

In order to nurture and foster the spirit of the St. Olaf Community, I will strive to practice and encourage among my colleagues:

Respect

for the dignity of others, despite differences in our beliefs;

Integrity

in actions and intent;

Celebration

of the gift of community, by becoming engaged in it;

Honesty

in all aspects of life, in and out of the classroom;

and recognizing that community has no boundaries, I will carry these values with me as I travel, work, study and serve.


This statement was adopted by the St. Olaf Student Government Association in May 1997. In May of 2002, the SGA and Student Senate re-affirmed the statement.
