Caring Campus

What is Caring Campus?

Caring Campus creates a supportive and inclusive environment for students, faculty, and staff.  It emphasizes building relationships, fostering empathy, and creating a sense of belonging.

Why do we do it?

Caring Campus improves student success and campus morale by ensuring students feel valued and supported. JWCC has always been a caring campus. However, we are always working to improve the intentionality and consistency in the ways we serve students.
