Vision
Our vision is a Student and Academic Services division actively creating, promoting, and sustaining a diverse living and learning environment in which each student is challenged, encouraged, and supported in pursuit of academic and personal growth and participation in the community at-large.
Values
We envision an academic community where freedom with responsibility exists as a communal as well as an individual value. As students, faculty, and staff pursue their own development, they do so in full recognition and acknowledgment of their membership in a learning community. In endeavors the community undertakes, individuals collaborate with others to achieve objectives that are greater than could be achieved by the individual alone.
We are committed to promoting a diverse learning and living environment in which students, faculty, staff and involved alumni respect one another and share:
- a belief in the value of education and the power of ideas
- an understanding that the academic community gains when individuals and groups of diverse backgrounds learn and work together in a pluralistic community
- a commitment to the practical as well as the theoretical
- a commitment to support the intellectual, spiritual and physical well-being of all members of the community
- a commitment to developing, maintaining and nurturing partnerships in the community
- a recognition of the importance of service and the belief that an individual can make a significant difference.
These values are our foundation and guide our plans, programs, and services, recognizing that the resources available to fulfill this vision are limited.
