Responsibility
“Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can,
improve the solutions, and pass them on.”- Richard Feynman
(Scientist, teacher, and musician)

- Practicing good stewardship of university resources
- Involving constituents in planning processes and decision making where appropriate
- Modeling good citizenship behaviors for students (civic responsibility, community service)
- Acting as representatives of the institution on and off the campus
