Our Mission
The College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions provides a reflective, collaborative and scholarly environment where we prepare professionals to teach, promote well-being, and become leaders in local, national and global communities.
Our Values
These values define what we stand for and how we work. We hold ourselves accountable for transforming these values into action to fulfill our mission.
| Academic and Professional Excellence We value the rigorous pursuit of knowledge, skills, theory and research, understanding that it is the human context to which these are applied that transforms our work into reality |
| Collaboration We work cooperatively with others to promote meaningful and mutually beneficial change. |
| Diversity We support diversity in all its forms, believing that great results come from the combined efforts of diverse organizations and individuals. |
| Empowerment We help colleagues, students, and communities develop the capacity to pursue and achieve goals; and we include those whose voices may not otherwise be heard. |
| Ethical Behavior We adhere to the ethical codes of our higher education and service professions and are committed to integrity and mutual respect in all interactions. |
Reflective Practice We believe in reflection before, during, and after action. Excellent practitioners seek a wider variety of perspectives in their reflection, and a deeper knowledge of those perspectives. Reflection on one's self is as important to the process as reflection on external factors. |
Social Responsibility We understand the public relevance of the work we do and are committed to professional practice that serves the needs of, and addresses inequities in, our communities. |
