SOCIAL JUSTICE - We seek to foster social justice in the communities we serve and to make our campuses accessible and inclusive, with equitable resources and opportunities for all.
BELONGING - We work to create spaces where each individual feels safe and welcome, and where everyone can thrive and flourish.
COLLABORATION - We are committed to building dynamic relationships that lead to meaningful communication and informed decision-making that considers and values the diverse perspectives of students, faculty, staff, and our community.
