CORE is Campus Living Village’s proprietary programming model incorporated at our student communities throughout the country. The CORE model is designed to enhance the learning experience of our residents and student leaders and to instill in them key values such as personal growth, empowerment, collaboration, civic responsibility, and social change.

These values are summarized by the four guiding principles of the model:

Community | Giving Back to the World
The process of building community instills a sense of belonging and responsibility to something greater than oneself. Through active engagement with others, individuals connect to the larger society and develop the value of caring for each other and the greater good.

Programming around the area of Community includes cook-outs, scavenger hunts, contests, and even tournaments.

Opportunity | Educating for Life
Personal enrichment occurs through opportunities to explore new ideas and differing beliefs and values from one’s own. Through exposure to experiences that challenge one’s existing views, the individual broadens their perspective of the world and shapes their own sense of self.

Programming around the area of Oppourtunity includes cultural festivities, outings to galleries, zoos, and museums, ethnic and heritage events.

Recreation | Exercising for Strong Body and Mind
Achieving balance in one’s life requires the development of a strong mind and body. Individuals who participate in recreational activities that exercise their physical and mental capabilities enhance their health and wellness while developing a greater sense of achievement and self-esteem.

Programming around the area of Recreation includes intramural sports, horseback riding, miniature golf, and self-defense courses.

Environment | Promoting a Green Lifestyle
Through service initiatives and environmental education, individuals develop global awareness and personal responsibility for their world around them. Collaborative efforts to affect positive change lead to strengthened communities and lasting results in the protection of our world.

Programming around the area of Environment includes Recycling, Replacing light bulbs with low energy bulbs, Adopt-a-Highway, Planting Trees, Going paperless, and much more!
