Values

At the U, what we do—and how we do it—matters. Our first three values are a compass pointing to our priorities, while the last three values are a roadmap showing us how to reach those priorities.

Inspire Students: We awaken curiosity and fortify students as they explore their potential, pursue their dreams, and achieve success.

Accelerate Discovery: We deliver transformative research and practical solutions that impact lives and improve our state and world.

Serve Communities: We care deeply for our students, patients, society, and world, and recognize the inherent dignity of all people.

Promote Wellbeing: We cultivate wellbeing, resilience, and thriving through clinical care, research, community engagement, and collaboration across differences.

Be Entrepreneurial: We encourage hard work and grit, using our resources to empower brilliant minds and bold ideas that drive progress and deliver results.

Amplify Place: We honor our unique history and treasure the majesty of our surroundings—urban, rural, and unmatched in outdoor opportunities.
