Cultivating Community

About the Series

Cultivating Community is a dialogue-centered program that strives to create a collaborative, engaging, and generative space for members of the campus community to explore the role that diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility play in belonging. Cultivating Community shares the College’s values for learning, creativity, belonging, civic engagement, and sustainability and centers inter-role collaboration, personal accountability and growth, and informed optimism.

Cultivating a Beloved Community at Geneseo: What Do We Have?

Conceptualized by Philosophy Professor, Josiah Royce, and embodied by Civil Rights Activist, Martin Luther King Jr., the vision of a “beloved community” has and continues to inspire many. While definitions of a beloved community are vast and varied, what they share is a commitment to care, compassion, justice, equity, and belonging. This dialogue invites us to consider the tools, resources, and practices that have helped us begin to cultivate a beloved community at Geneseo and how they can be expanded or enhanced.
