Curricular Resource Center

Inclusion and Belonging

Brown’s Open Curriculum is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all students at Brown. The Curricular Resource Center is committed to ensuring that is the case and that all students receive the guidance and resources they need to successfully navigate their education.

Vision

We envision a learning environment at the CRC—and at Brown—where all students, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender expression, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, college-generation status, religious affiliation, nationality, citizenship status, or physical/emotional/cognitive learning ability feel supported, thrive, and can develop their capacities to fully engage with Brown's Open Curriculum and with their unique learning process, in preparing to be scholars, leaders and citizens in our local communities and of the world.

Guiding Principles

The Curricular Resource Center staff and peer advisors value the following:

  • Introspection of both the individual and group
  • Collaboration among the CRC team and with other units on campus
  • Friendly critiques in the advising practice and in our work with one another
  • Learning as a process of discovery and growth
  • Ongoing reflection about our practice as educators, program coordinators and peer advisors
  • Sustainability of our programs and events
