Learn For Now, Learn For Life
We believe that learning is a lifelong endeavor. We serve as advocates for continuing learners and provide flexible educational opportunities that support their journey.
Create Positive Impact
We have a responsibility to serve as a catalyst for positive change - in the lives of our learners, in the communities we serve and among ourselves.
Cultivate Excellence
We are committed to upholding the excellence and standards of the University. We are leaders in our area of expertise; we act with integrity, transparency and accountability; and we continually strive to uphold the trust placed in us by our students and partners.
Be Open To Possibilities
We welcome new ideas and consider them with an open mind. We seek imaginative solutions and mindfully push the boundaries of what's possible.
Get There Together
Our partnerships with faculty, campus, units and colleagues are built on trust, shared goals, deep understanding and respect. We will succeed only as a true team, and explore opportunities, face challenges and celebrate successes together.
