In defining our mission, we challenged ourselves to identify what differentiates us from other institutions of higher education and to clarify how we will uniquely contribute in the areas of education, research, and public service.
As a public university, it is our responsibility to give back to society by educating global citizens, discovering new knowledge, creating new technology, and contributing to our economy. In redefining our role for the next several decades, we remain true to our foundational principles. They are—and will continue to be—excellence, affordability, and access. We will align our efforts to be a student-centered, research-focused, service-oriented public university.
Comparably data clearly shows that a focused mission statement and cohesive core company values are vital to maintaining employee alignment.
