Community Life
The Community Life Committee’s core mission is to assess and address matters that pertain to building and enriching community life at Emory. Emory’s community comprises staff, faculty and students. So, the work of the committee is strongly trifocal. Its mandate covers the needs, experiences, and expectations of each of these constituencies, with an added focus on the areas (and arenas) of intersection or how the needs of one group impact or implicate the others. In other words, CLC is fully committed to exploring every means or avenue that helps students, staff and faculty flourish together as a community and prosper through mutual engagement and shared belonging.
The committee’s work includes (but is not limited to) these key elements:
- collect, access, and review relevant information [data?] to better understand the needs, concerns, and expectations of the three groups.
- explore and ascertain possible solutions or remedies (pertaining to community life and wellbeing) for engagement with, or presentation to, university leadership and decision makers.
- advocate for the voices, experiences, and expectations of students, faculty, staff, and other stakeholders to be actively represented in decisions that shape campus life.
- bring forward community concerns to the full senate for its attention and action as needed.
