By 1987, Brown was the national headquarters for the group, and Brown s Center for Public Service was a model for those who wanted to help their students translate convictions into actions and deeds. Inspires students to develop and strengthen their moral reasoning skills At every turn, Brown extends a hand to students who are moving into adulthood. A web of advisers and counselors plays an important role in helping students develop personal responsibility. For example, peer counselors are specially-trained students who serve as mentors and who guide questioning students toward campus resources. Faculty Fellows, who live in the dorms or open their homes regularly to students, serve in the same way, helping students make important academic and personal decisions.
Students also participate in university decision making.
They are voting members on a number of academic, administrative, disciplinary, and advisory committees. Students may also participate in such activities as the Mediation Program, which brings disputing parties together with a trained student mediator in an informal, neutral setting to discuss the situation and find a lasting solution to it. Brown s chaplaincy promotes the religious, spiritual, and ethical life of the university community. At the core of the program is worship, ranging from Anglican to Zen meditation. Other programs offer formal and informal discussions concerning questions of value and meaning as well as the moral implications of personal, national, and international decision making.
