ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½

We believe in the transformative power of a liberal arts education and through a culture of deep inquiry, creative exploration, critical thinking, and a passion for learning.

We believe the richest learning emerges through engagement across difference and recognize that this requires us to create and sustain a community where everyone—from all identities, backgrounds, and experiences—can thrive.

ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students, faculty, and staff learn and grow together in a community that fosters lifelong relationships, with all members contributing to a welcoming, open, and supportive environment.

We prepare students to lead with integrity, empathy, social responsibility, and a commitment to the greater good.

We act as responsible stewards of our financial, institutional and natural resources to ensure a thriving future for generations to come.

We honor the radical nature of our founding by continually examining the status quo. ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ is a community in which all members are invited to imagine how we might do things in new and better ways—and to see possibility in every dimension of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ experience and beyond.
