The Brave Experience
The Brave Experience is Âé¶¹ÉçÇøP’s student success model — built by students, faculty
               and staff to support your growth in every aspect of college life.
Launched in 2019, it takes a holistic approach to your personal, academic and professional
               development. It encourages you to get involved, build meaningful connections and take
               ownership of your journey at Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Pembroke. The model is rooted in four key areas inspired
               by Native cultural symbols and Lumbee traditions, reflecting the values that guide
               our BraveNation community.
               
                Cultivate a sense of belonging and purpose through active engagement — in your discipline,
                                 your career path and campus life. The Brave Experience is built on four key areas that guide your development: Social: Develop self-awareness while building positive, meaningful relationships with others. Academic: Engage in academic exploration across disciplines and connect your learning to real-world
                                       opportunities. Career: Discover your passions, gain hands-on experience and build the skills to confidently
                                       pursue your career goals. At Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Pembroke, community means learning and growing through shared experiences —
                                 both on campus and beyond. It’s about exchanging knowledge and resources to build
                                 stronger, more inclusive environments. Service: Create positive change by addressing social injustices and making a meaningful impact
                                       in local, national and global communities. Citizenship: Embrace civic responsibility and take an active role in shaping a better society. Culture: Explore diverse perspectives through the arts, history and shared dialogue — and
                                       celebrate the stories and achievements of others. Learning is a lifelong, self-driven journey — one that goes beyond the classroom and
                                 empowers you to grow personally, academically and professionally. Self-Exploration: Understand your beliefs, values, skills and identity — and how they shape your motivation
                                       to grow and take action. Experiential Learning: Apply what you’ve learned across disciplines to real-world experiences in and outside
                                       the classroom. Reflection: Make meaning of your experiences, challenge your thinking and define your leadership
                                       through intentional reflection and critical self-awareness. Wellness at Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Pembroke means building a sustainable, healthy lifestyle — one that
                                 balances your mental, physical and emotional well-being. Resilience: Develop the ability to overcome challenges by using positive coping strategies and
                                       persistence. Health: Make informed, intentional choices that support a balanced body, mind and spirit. Congruence: Align your thoughts, actions and beliefs with your personal values and the values
                                       of your community.

Value & Affordability
                  
                           						Because the class sizes are so small and the faculty connect with you, it feels like
                           a private university. You get individualized attention, access to internships and
                           opportunities to do research in your field of study. Then you see the tuition statement
                           and realize — wow, I’m actually at a public institution. That feels great.
