Giving voice to our values: 2006-07

President Thomas J. Hochstettler
Our core mission—to advance knowledge and to enhance civic responsibility and public life—in fact finds expression through our core values: We are an incubator of and repository for academic leadership. We embody and extend the progressive vision and ethos of sustainability that signify our city and our region. And we are a community of global citizen-scholars who seek not simply to engage issues, but to make a real, substantial, and lasting impact on others wherever they may live, and on societies wherever they may take root.
