Culture

noun

[kuhl-cher]

The quality in a person or society that arises from a concern
for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners,
scholarly pursuits, etc.

What Is Culture?


We all find ourselves immersed in culture in various ways,
but what really is culture? Cultivating a culture to feel our
100% in is what we strive for, whether that be culture in
our personal identities or those that we choose. Culture is
whatever we put back into it, is what we get out of it. We
learn and grow from within those cultures while also
redefining it.

In pop culture, we observe and celebrate “character
development” that often is seen in shows and specifically
anime with “arcs”. With trends, utilizing the modernized
perspective of growth in oneself, we can emphasize this
throughout all aspects of the weekend. We all seek to
learn new skills and find opportunities to demonstrate
them. As students, we pursue experiences that align with
our studies and help us develop our leadership abilities.

With the Spring Conference, we can provide a space for
attendees to experiment in the way they want to outlook
onto their own culture and grow from the weekend. Our
goal is to cultivate a strong sense of community and
inspire a growth mindset that embraces challenges,
values feedback, and recognizes that mistakes are
essential for learning.
