Mission Statement
We prepare students through higher education for careers and life by modeling inquiry, reflection, openness, and civic engagement. In doing this, we value the diversity of our students, meeting them where they are, providing engaging instruction, and encouraging the use of creative and critical thinking skills to improve local, national, and international communities.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to encourage students in growing a love for liberal education and continued learning, instilling in them confidence to raise important questions and to develop the skills to find the answers. We support students in their commitment to the well-being of themselves and of their communities.
