Statement of Purpose

The Colket Center is the community center of the college, serving students, faculty, staff, alumni and guests. The Colket Center is an organization offering a variety of programs, activities, services, and facilities that, when taken together, represent a well-considered plan for a community like that of the college. The Colket Center is an integral part of the educational mission of the college.

As the center of the college community life, the Colket Center complements the academic experience through an extensive variety of cultural, educational, social, and recreational programs. These programs provide the opportunity to balance course work and free time as cooperative factors in education. The Colket Center is a student-centered organization that values participatory decision-making.

Through volunteerism, its boards, committees, and student employment, the Colket Center offers firsthand experience in citizenship and educates students in leadership, social responsibility, and values. In all its processes, the Colket Center encourages self-directed activity, giving maximum opportunity for self-realization and for growth in individual social competency and group effectiveness. The Colket Center's goal is the development of persons as well as intellects.

Considered the "living room" of the campus, the Colket Center is the gathering place of the college. The Colket Center provides services and conveniences that members of the college community need in their daily lives and creates an environment for getting to know and understand others through formal and informal associations. The Colket Center serves as a unifying force that honors each individual and values diversity. The Colket Center fosters a sense of community that cultivates enduring loyalty to the college.
