Culture

Deeper connections are key to reaching our fullest potential. We instill a culture of belonging as we nurture students academically and personally. Mentorship from faculty, opportunities for community-building, and support services allow students from all backgrounds to flourish as well-rounded scholars and leaders.

Cultivating a Culture of Belonging

When Cole Ichikawa ’24 enrolled at LMU, he knew that meant moving an ocean away from his home in Hawaii. But when he arrived on campus, new friends and mentors quickly welcomed him to be his authentic self. Now, as president of Nā Kōlea Hawaii Club, he’s passionate about sharing his love for his culture and community with the world.
