We discover new knowledge for the continued growth of individuals and society and for the enrichment of the University’s instructional and service programs. We develop applications of knowledge to help resolve problems of modern society. SERVICE: We serve the global society as well as the regional and campus community and beyond through the development of outreach programs that are compatible with the University’s educational mission, that improve understanding of community problems, and that help develop relevant alternative solutions. We engage in outreach activities to assist in the development of communities as learning societies.”
