Vision

To be known by managers and supervisors as a professional development resource.

Values

  • We believe learning is a life-long process. The knowledge gained in each professional development endeavor is critical to achieving and maintaining excellence.
  • We serve others. Our jobs exist because university employees need services. When we make decisions, it is primarily for their benefit, not our own or our convenience.
  • We are deeply committed to integrity, doing the right thing, behaving honestly, and making sacrifices to act ethically.
  • Relationships are what we’re all about. Therefore, terms such as respect, friendliness, emotional intelligence, caring, and truth telling are core parts of our job descriptions.
  • We are leaders. We know that every minute of every day we are influencing someone. We love the fact that our jobs enable us to make a difference and we are committed to that ideal.
  • We tell other people, and each other, the truth compassionately. We don’t avoid conflict and we are always sensitive to others in our truth telling.
