Pros
Deeply supportive, compassion community of scholars, educators, and practitioners. Each member of the administration "talks the talk" and "walks the talk," and they consistently demonstrate this with their transparency and productive communication amongst employees. A small university like Sofia provides many benefits in terms of serving students closely and accounting for individuals' experiences in a more holistic way.
Cons
While the university is strongly committed to its transpersonal heritage, there are some gaps in its integration across programs. Sofia's employees care deeply for each other and our students, and there are ongoing staff/faculty/student challenges given staff shortages and budget limitations that prevent more fluid, seamless administrative processes. There is siloing among departments that is being improved but will need additional improvement moving forward.
