Self-Advocacy

We encourage students to be brave in expressing needs, values, and aspirations in a safe, inclusive, and culturally competent environment, where all voices are heard equally.


Dignity

We treat students with dignity and honor by acknowledging everyone’s unique perspectives, backgrounds, and abilities.

Inspire

We inspire students to dream big and achieve their greatest educational and career goals.

Accuracy

We strive to provide current, consistent, and accurate information to assist students in making informed decisions.


Collaboration

We practice open and direct communication across both instruction and student services to provide the highest quality of services to students.

Welcoming

We appreciate an enjoyable and encouraging work environment that makes all feel welcome and inspired. Our atmosphere promotes honesty, laughter, and open-mindedness.


Collegiality

We foster a mutually respectful work environment which is open, flexible and growth oriented.
