The simple act of recognizing and embracing diversity helps us to connect the great variety of gifts that people bring to our organization. We will not grow as an institution by knowing all the answers but rather by having the courage to live with the questions. We must exemplify professionalism, charity, and civility in all our working relationships to infuse the spirit of our work into the university culture. Respect, responsibility, and integrity are the foundation of a quality educational environment. The faculty, staff, administration, and students are a synergistic educational team.
Every individual is both a teacher and a learner.
Responsibilities go hand in hand with rights. Work is one of our greatest privileges and we should strive to make it rewarding and productive, enriching and fulfilling, healing and joyful for others and ourselves. Quality is the hallmark of professionalism. Quality is seen in our products, services, relationships, communication, and our commitments to one another. The role Student Services should play in a college setting begins with a major philosophical premise.
