The principles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights relates to the Saint Leo Universities core value of community in a lot of different ways. Part of Saint Leo’ mission statement is to create a student-centered environment in which love of learning is of prime importance. Members of the community are expected to examine and express their own values, listen respectfully to and respond to the opinions of others, serve the community in which they live, welcome others into their lives, and care for all of God's creations. Whereas a part of the United Nations statement is that all human beings are born with equal and inalienable rights and fundamental freedoms. The United Nations is committed to upholding, promoting and protecting the human rights of every individual.

I will try and summarize what each value means to me compared to the United Nations Human Rights 30 Principles. Let’s start with Saint Leo’s value, Excellence - Which states that Individually and collectively, they work hard to ensure that all students develop the character, learn the skills and assimilate the knowledge essential to become morally responsible leaders. What this means to me is being the best you can possibly be while striving to "press on" beyond that best. Excellence, is not an act but a habit."
