You’re a belonging ambassador
The Community Builder
Superpowers – Empathy, Inclusivity, Warmth
You’re the person who remembers everyone’s name and makes sure the newcomer isn’t sitting alone at the homecoming tailgate. Your natural ability to lead with empathy, inclusivity, and warmth makes you the glue that holds our Butler family together.
Your Mission: To keep our community tight-knit by fostering the personal connections that turn a small campus into a lifelong home.
The Impact You Make: Because of you, no Bulldog has to walk alone. You make sure every Bulldog feels they belong to something bigger.
Ways to Activate Your Superpowers
Spend a few minutes writing a congratulatory note to a newly admitted student in your hometown or share your Bulldog pride with prospective students. Your welcome is often the first moment they truly feel like a Bulldog.
Create a seat at the table—literally. Host a low-pressure dinner for 10 students to share a meal, some stories, and a little bit of “real world” perspective.
Give your time or energy to the specific Campus Clubs, Athletic Teams, or Identity Groups that made you feel safe and seen when you were a student.
Attend our traditional events like Homecoming or the Bulldog Crawl, and take the lead by inviting others to join your table.
Take five minutes to nominate a fellow alum for an Alumni Award. You’re often the first person to notice the great work others are doing quietly behind the scenes.
Join the Butler Lifelong Learning Collaborative. Whether you’re attending a workshop or sharing your own expertise, you’re helping our family grow closer through shared curiosity.
