Medallion Program

Creating an Inclusive Community

Building a community is a powerful process which helps us learn about ourselves and relate to others in new ways. The Medallion Program workshops explore in-depth our six communal principles of fairness, freedom, honesty, inclusion, respect, and responsibility, as well as what they mean to the College and for the individual student.
