The Five College Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
The Five College Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
Inquire Deeply
CSS students will explore issues, problems, and content of their field of study. Deep inquiry and analysis lead to greater understanding and results in informed conclusions, judgments, and solutions that contribute to the greater society.
Solve Complex Problems
Seeking and developing creative solutions to complex problems requires an open mind and heart to engage in a comprehensive exploration of issues, ideas, evidence, and events before formulating an opinion or conclusion. By generating such solutions, CSS students will learn to effect change in ways that contribute to the collective health of communities and create a more just and equitable society. In support of this aim, students will understand the social contexts and complexities of problems and identify ethical issues and explore implications of various solutions.
Develop Cultural Fluency
To welcome and engage all people, ideas and perspectives, CSS students will practice the Benedictine Value of Hospitality. Students will engage and explore diverse ways of being, knowing, and communicating that support inclusive and respectful interaction, and develop relationships within and across a variety of cultural contexts.
Communicate Clearly and Persuasively
In order to communicate responsibly and meaningfully in a diverse world and guided with ‘the ear of the heart’, students will be able to speak, read, and write clearly and effectively to be successful, productive citizens. Students and alumni will advance knowledge their fields and improve the relationships and communities in which they find themselves.
Serve and Lead through Benedictine Values
Grounded in our Benedictine Values of Community, Hospitality, Respect, Stewardship and Love of Learning, CSS alumni will be engaged in communities in a way that is both enriching to their lives and socially beneficial to neighborhoods and communities of the world. At CSS, students will prepare to actively advance justice, sustainability, and serve and transform the communities of our world by engaging within the social, cultural, political and economic realities in which they find themselves.
