Educational Priority: Citizenship
Georgia State's University Housing strives to cultivate engaged citizens in global communities.

Learning Goals
To be self-aware, students must recognize behaviors, beliefs, values and ethics within their own reality. Residents will be able to better understand oneself as a member of the residential community.
To manage one’s personal affairs, students must demonstrate interdependence and critical thinking. Residents will be able to maintain healthy relationships, effectively communicate, and care for their holistic well-being.
To recognize multiple perspectives, students must understand their identities and how these identities inform their interactions within their communities. Residents will be able to identify, understand, and communicate differences within their residential and global communities.
To be academically engaged, students must commit to their academic success through active participation in their academic coursework, educational environments, and use of university resources. Residents will be able identify academic partners and resources within their residential and campus communities.
