Academics with a Difference

Empathy

Empathy for others and acceptance of diversity are necessary for the development of constructive social behaviors and deepen one’s capacity to care for self, others, and community.

Outlook

In order to see one's life with a constructive outlook, one must consider various perspectives as well as develop specific and beneficial attitudes, behaviours, and character traits.

Perseverance

Struggle is an essential part of learning and growth. Perseverance is necessary in order to see something through to its conclusion even in the face of pressures to do something else or give up.

Purpose

Meaning and purpose of one’s life is explored, discovered, and expressed through engagement with a world larger than oneself.
