Cor Cordium is Latin for heart of hearts. At Walsh University we educate students’ mind, body, & spirit. Made possible through the generous contributions of the Brauchler family, Cavs Cor Cordium, will operate as each students’ personal learning network while attending Walsh University. Each network will extend an opportunity for students to connect and learn, advancing their ability to prepare for the ethical and moral dimensions of professional practice and good citizenship. Studies have shown that students who develop a strong sense of community are more involved in programs on and off campus and have an increased academic performance. Cavs Cor Cordium provides students the opportunity to connect with peers, creating robust engagement experiences that extend through a students’ life.
As a Catholic University, Walsh educates students on their life’s purpose through the guidance and teachings of Jesus Christ. Each Cor is connected to the legacy of Walsh through the inspiration of the Brothers of Christian Instruction who served at the university, and a Patron Saint who embodied these values. Promoting the charism of the founding order of The Brothers of Christian Instruction and guided by our Catholic faith, Cor Cordium guides students through and to a more balanced life.
Students select a Cor Cordium community to join as they enter the university. Each Cor has upperclassmen that serve as Cor student leaders, organizing and communicating with all community members. In addition, each Cor has faculty and staff advisors who offer advice, encouragement, and resources for engaging in campus life.
