Becoming Responsibly Engaged in the World

BREW is a core value rooted in the hearts of our students from their first day on campus through graduation.

Gain a Sense of Purpose

At Concordia, we believe a great college should do more than prepare you with lifelong career advantages. We aim to transform your global understanding, character and compassion – inspiring you to serve the world’s greatest needs. Our BREW concept is much more than an educational theme – it's a way of life.

BREWing isn't limited to what you experience in our nationally recognized study away programs. We see students BREW within the Concordia community daily. Every course offered challenges students to discover connections between learning and how to become more responsibly engaged in the world. The adventure of BREWing begins right here on campus and within the Fargo-Moorhead community. 

Learn to Lead and Serve

Beyond the classroom, you'll find many ways to BREW. Your Concordia education begins with Hands for Change, a local service experience with FM organizations. Your commitment to serving others will grow from there throughout your four years as you engage in activities such as Relay for Life, Dance Marathon, tutor opportunities at local schools and so much more.

When you graduate, you'll have a strong sense of how to engage within the world continually throughout your life. Learn more about BREW opportunities during your time at Concordia:

Concordia’s BREW concept has a lot of influence on my new mindset. To me, 'becoming responsibly engaged in the world' means taking the opportunity to learn about new places. It is recognizing that our culture is just one of many cultures in the world.
