The Institute for Evidence-Based Change (IEBC) developed Caring Campus as an intentional way to augment our shared mission of improving and increasing student success. Caring Campus accomplishes this by creating a campus culture in which everyone—students, staff, faculty, and leadership—feels cared for and connected. The Caring Campus Certification program exists for several reasons. First and foremost, it is intended to keep Caring Campus front and center at the institutional level as a way to support the program’s institutionalization and sustainability. Second, the certification categories and criteria are meant to inspire all Caring Campuses by suggesting avenues for increasing the scope of their Caring Campus implementations. Finally, the certification process can help a college or university understand how Caring Campus is currently integrated into the life of their campus community.
