Implementation Progress
Our goal is to inspire and empower every member of our community to make a positive impact on our campus environment, ultimately enriching the university experience for all.
To do this, we are working to create a campus culture that aligns with our core values and is welcoming and respectful to all our students, faculty, and staff. We are dedicated to transparency, communication, collaboration, and accountability as we work to elevate the access that is foundational to our excellence in teaching, research, and service.
