CORE VALUES

Excellence - In the spirit of cooperation and collaboration, we strive to deliver the highest quality and value possible through simple, easy and relevant solutions. As we deliver excellence, we give ourselves in a way that exceeds our own expectations.   

Service - We do whatever it takes to delight our stakeholders, contribute to the welfare of others, put others above ourselves, and make intentional decisions and actions to benefit others. We believe that public service is public trust.

Leadership and Good Governance - Acknowledging that there is unity in diversity, we strive to exude our influence by being proactive and resilient to achieve success and enabling the success of others. We desire everyone to be empowered to own their work and we minimize unnecessary steps.

Innovation - We generate solutions for our stakeholders’ delight and raise the bar -- both within our workplace and throughout the academic community through innovation. We never give up finding creative ways and emerging answers to solve tough problems.

Social Responsibility - We act with honesty, integrity, and thoughtfulness. We believe in the power of the communities we create and serve, our academic family and in giving back to the communities we live in.

Integrity - As we create trust as an academic community, we choose to infuse in our every action with honesty, fairness, and respect for customers and colleagues alike. We strive to do the right thing always, act truthfully and honorably. We do it all even when no one is watching.

Professionalism - We project professionalism in our attire, behavior, attitude, and communication. In the workplace, we observe timeliness, organization, and dedication as we desire to excel in our career.

Spirituality - We lay hold of the truths about our absolute God -- the source of all moral authority, the creator and ruler of the universe, and supreme being. We acknowledge  His order of creation, spiritual and delegated authorities, and our identity and personal relationship with Him. Our spirituality in the workplace keeps us aligned and solid with where we are going, what we are doing, and who we are as an academic family and as public servants.
