Civility

“Civility is claiming and caring for one’s identity, needs and beliefs without degrading someone else’s in the process.” – Tomas Spath and Cassandra Dahnke, Founders of the Institute for Civility in Government

Civility starts here.

Tri-C promotes a civil environment where everyone can learn and grow. The College believes that diversity and inclusion enriches both the institution and society as a whole. Tri-C is committed to appreciating diverse perspectives and valuing the collective differences and similarities that make us who we are.

Civility:
Respects others.

Supports others.

Honors differences.

Embraces diversity.

The College commits to provide high quality, accessible and affordable education within a student-centered environment. To maintain high standards, the College must furnish an atmosphere conducive to student and educational growth, as well as one that encourages civility. The values of the Office of Student Affairs provide a framework for programs and practices that mirror institutional values. 

The core values are as follows:

• Integrity
• Respect
• Responsibility
• Fairness
• Diversity

Tri-C students are expected to uphold these core values and contribute to the growth and development of the campus. If you have any questions, please contact a campus Student Affairs office.
