Our Guiding Principles

We are committed in all endeavors to surpass good and great to reach new levels of preeminence.

We are strongest when embracing voices, ideas, perspectives, identities, and experiences across our campus. Together, we work toward justice.

We envision and create a better future for our state, nation, and world through research, education, and service.

We aim to transcend the status quo, think creatively, and act to take on the grand challenges of our time.

We accomplish more when we work together for a common purpose.

We are guided by an unwavering commitment to all of our constituencies—students, faculty, staff, partners, allies, and alumni— to fearlessly forge a better world for all humankind.
