We Align Practices With Values

Cohesive policies, processes, and procedures support and reflect the work and values of the division. 

They provide direction to ensure our operations are consistent, equitable, and transparent. We will establish and maintain these essential tools.

We Thrive as One Division

Collaboration across departments and teams creates strategic advantages for resource access and better connects us to each other and our work.  

Partnerships and cooperation among our departments maximize the quality and cohesiveness of student outcomes, as each department's mission helps students thrive. 

We Create Caring and Inclusive Communities

Our goals coalesce around four key areas to transform organizational culture and behavior within the division. 

These areas are culture, climate, and community building; recruitment and retention; infrastructure; and learning and development. Focusing on these four areas is critical to integrating this work into all that we do. 

We Put Students First

We provide resources to co-create an inclusive, innovative community where students thrive.

We empower and challenge students to cultivate their well-being, empathy, resilience, civic engagement, and advocacy. We support the holistic development of students through curricular and co-curricular learning experiences that enhance their sense of purpose, belonging, and lifelong success. 

We Invest In Our People

Our staff is our most valuable resource in achieving our vision, fulfilling our mission, and living up to our values. 

To ensure that our staff feels a sense of belonging and purpose, we commit to investing in them in three key areas: health and well-being; supervisor empowerment and accountability; and professional growth, development, and advancement.
