Mission: The office of Teacher Workforce Initiatives equips prospective and in-service teachers with educational experiences that enable them to:
Compassionately address the educational needs of all students within high needs urban environments,
Build student confidence by setting high expectations and promoting educational excellence, and
Serve as advocates to impact the potential of current and future generations of learners.
Mission: The Frontier Center for Urban Education supports and initiates promising practices and collaborative efforts in urban education. It serves to foster partnerships between Nazareth University educators and students, urban schools, and community-based organizations.

Therefore, the Center promotes teacher and student understanding of the social forces and seeks to address them by building on the strengths and potential of the Rochester community.
