Mission
Kindness that results in a positive school climate and peer support within it play big roles in academic success. So much of the achievement of academic success stems from self-esteem, and bullying directly depletes that. Yet so many college students have either witnessed or endured bullying from a peer or a professor. Bullying can lead to low self-esteem, depression, shyness, anxiety, and stress. That can in turn lead to low exam grades and success in college. On top of bullying, there is so much negativity and unkindness in the world overall. That is why SHINE is so important. In this program, students will partake in as many acts of kindness as they can, as well as attend special SHINE events that promote positivity on campus and beyond. They will attend meetings to discuss the importance of kindness and positivity and plan out future events, journal about their experiences, and work through difficulties they have had with negativity while promoting these important factors campus wide.

Mission
Our duty as American citizens and Hoosier residents is to “to establish Justice, promote the welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity” by the mandate of the Indiana and US Preamble. This noble, American goal is a difficult burden to achieve; especially in the 21st century when lawmakers strictly associated with a confederation of Evangelical movements and corporations put their political ambition and supposed moral duty of Patriarchal Theocracy over the values of our Republic’s treasured liberal democracy. It is in such a current crisis that a coalition in our state, starting at our campus, must begin to uplift the voices of those who wish to speak for their liberties. Whether in the freedom of religion or from religion; the solidarity of the spiritually weary or non-believer must be promoted and acted upon for love of all personal and legal liberties of the American people, "in order to form a more perfect union and establish justice."

Mission
The Westville campus is a beautiful resource for our university. Unfortunately, many of us have experienced a decline in classes and programming offered at the Westville campus. It is so important to emphasize the value of the Westville campus, the Hammond campus, and Gabis Arboretum and show just how many students care. The Westville Warriors are dedicated to working to ensure the Westville campus always has the classes that the community needs, as well as equal events and programming in comparison to our counterpart, the Hammond campus. Our mission is to advocate that every student should have equal access to PNW education no matter what their major, location, race, financial status, disability, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, veteran status, or any attribute or defining status. Though we are working primarily to build up the Westville campus, we will also work to speak up if we see an imbalance of programming on the Hammond campus, or at Gabis Arboretum. Our main goal is to come together to make sure that all portions of our one university are equally strong! We will continuously spread awareness for our organization so that students know they can come to us when experiencing scheduling issues; we will not only help guide them to their advisors and appropriate faculty, but also assemble a living list of the programming needs of Westville students and surrounding community members. As an organization, we believe that no student should have to change programs or leave PNW altogether because they are unable to commute. Students work too hard to get to college to be made to choose against a program they truly want, or commute to a location that is inconvenient for them, when PNW offers a more convenient option, whichever location that might be. When we consider the fact that so many of our students are working and are supporting their families while continuing their education, emphasizing the importance of meeting them where they are is paramount. In addition to these initiatives, the Westville Warriors will advocate for equal access to education as a whole. We will hold repetitive fundraisers and events to raise funds so that we can support impoverished students and help ensure that all students have access to the resources that they need.
