ÀÖÓãÓéÀÖ's Core Values

Our Shared Values
In 2015, the ÀÖÓãÓéÀÖ adopted “The Decade Ahead†strategic plan comprising seven university-wide goals and objectives and one overarching aspiration: That the ÀÖÓãÓéÀÖ will be a premier university that the state, nation and world will look to for leadership.
In 2020, the university augmented the plan with the “ÀÖÓãÓéÀÖ Core Values†underpinning its goals and overarching aspiration with six central values. The values were shaped by input from all of ÀÖÓãÓéÀÖ’s key stakeholders to ensure they reflect the diverse ÀÖÓãÓéÀÖ community.
