HES Adopts New Vision and Mission Statements

During the 2007-2008 year, HES faculty and staff worked together to examine the future of our school and develop new vision and mission statements. The HES Faculty Council and Dean Sims sponsored a series of focus groups and a retreat to complete this work. Using wiki technology, the entire faculty was able to participate in the review of the new statements. On May 7, 2008, the HES Faculty Assembly unanimously approved the following statements:

HES Vision Statement

Through teaching, discovery, dissemination of knowledge, and community engagement, HES aims to inspire people and institutions to make the world better, safer, healthier, more just, and more humane.

HES Mission Statement

Guided by an ethic of caring and interdisciplinary collaboration, HES addresses the needs of people from diverse cultures across the entire lifespan.
