We embrace a three-part vision: Value Making, Original ideas, and Leadership. Value making through economic, social, and environmental development targeted to an increasingly global and multicultural world. We lead an increasing number of academic and study point activities that involve and benefit the local community, and ultimately the world. This continuing commitment to the public good through a variety of outreach activities is grounded in our tradition as a land-grant institution. Original ideas that advance society through discovery, inquiry, innovation, research, scholarship, and creative activities.
