The liberal arts serve as the foundation of all our curricular offerings in humanities, arts, sciences, and professional programs. Committed to excellence in teaching and learning, we strive to nurture intellect, spirit, imagination, and heart. We embrace and aspire to reflect the rich diversity of the world’s cultures and perspectives. We promote open, caring, thoughtful engagement with one another and maintain an enduring commitment to service, all within an educational community dedicated to seeking truth, compassion, justice, and partnership.
