  1. CC at OCC... Core Commitments: Educating Students in Personal and Social Responsibility An initiative supported by the Association of American Colleges and Universities

  2. What have OCC students said about personal and social responsibility?

  3. What our students are saying… “This semester I am in an Ethics class. There are many controversial issues that we discuss and it’s nice to see the different perspectives of others. After listening to everyone in class, I start to reexamine my point of view.”

  4. “There’s rarely any opinionated discussions in classes. I can’t think of one time that has happened…”

  5. “It is always interesting to have another perspective. That is what I was planning on having [in] my current class and I must say I am disappointed. There has been no room for discussion and the only right answers are the opinions of the instructors.”

  6. “I’m very involved in the community due to the type of job that I have, working with runaway teens, but the college hasn’t really had any part in my community involvement…”

  7. “In my Political Science class I was challenged to speak out my morals and develop them even though I knew they were opposing the instructor’s view. He made us comfortable doing that because we knew that even if our views were different than his, that would not affect the grading of our work.”

  8. “Having NO meaningful discussions with students has strengthened my sense of responsibility toward the greater good. They are not interested in being aware.”

  9. “What is the deal with ethics? Can’t we just get an education?”

  10. The Five Dimensions of the Core Commitments • Striving for excellence • Cultivating personal and academic integrity • Contributing to a larger community • Taking seriously the perspectives of others • Developing competence in ethical and moral reasoning
