Dear Detroit Mercy Students,
The end of the term provides an opportunity for reflection. At Detroit Mercy, our commitment to excellence in teaching and learning is guided by the Mercy and Jesuit traditions of quality, ethics, and holistic education. Academic excellence is a dynamic, reciprocal process that is exemplified in the parallels of teaching and in learning. This hinges on the collaboration between instructors and students where we aspire to create an environment where all flourish by working together.
Our professors are not just discipline experts but also dedicated educators and mentors, focused on inspiring your personal and academic growth. They strive to model inspired learning, foster inclusivity, provide intellectual challenge, communicate effectively, and place your needs at the heart of our mentorship.
The students have an equally active role as learners. Students should embrace learning, open-mindedness, challenges, and provide respect for faculty and peers.
This journey of learning also requires engagement in reflection to unlock the depths of your educational journey. Together, we shape a teaching and learning community that is both excellent and inspiring, nurturing intellectual, ethical, and personal growth. The Student Reflection on Learning (SRL) is your opportunity to contribute to this ongoing journey. Your feedback is invaluable in refining our teaching methods and enriching our academic community.
Your voice matters. Thank you for being part of our vibrant learning community, dedicated to the values of Detroit Mercy.
