- A thriving, diverse student body enhances the learning experience of all students
- Co-curricular education develops skills for academic, personal, work, and life success
- Meaningful community engagement and experiential learning off campus prepares students for leadership in a diverse and rapidly changing world
- Learning how to be accountable develops maturity as well as personal and social responsibility
- Fostering opportunities for sustained interaction and dialogue on campus among students, faculty, and staff builds community, self awareness, and mutual trust
- Developing a sustainable campus environment encourages life-long learning and innovation
