Fall 2023

 

Living By Core Values

Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s core values are the foundation it builds upon to create a welcoming and diverse global community bonded by respect and kindness and prepared to address the problems of a changing society.

In every issue of the magazine, we present stories that illustrate some of the many ways the university community lives by its core values. In this Fall 2023 issue, we highlight how Â鶹ÊÓƵ is fostering peace, promoting mental health and well-being, protecting the environment and preparing for the future.
