Integration of Mission

St. Edward’s was founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross, from which it acquired distinguishing characteristics that include the courage to take risks, an international perspective and the commitment to provide educational opportunities for students of varied cultural, religious, educational and economic backgrounds. In support of the mission, the different backgrounds of ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â’s students, faculty and staff enrich our community and represent a significant part of our culture and commitment to excellence. 

We value the individual differences, life experiences, unique capabilities and innovative talent our employees and students contribute to our vibrant academic environment. ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â’s honors and values all members of our community by fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment that respects the dignity and worth of each person and stresses the obligation of all people to pursue a more just world. 

Behavioral Intervention Team 

The ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â’s Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) cares for students, faculty, and staff who may be in distress. Help keep our community healthy and safe — learn how to report a concern, identify the behaviors of someone in distress, and become familiar with available resources. 

Bias Incident Response Team 

The ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â’s Bias Incident Response Team serves our community by creating and maintaining a safe, inclusive educational environment. Learn how to identify an incident of bias, when or how to make a report, and see who our BIRT members are.
