Table Three Mission Statement
Did not generate a new draft – but had the following thoughts related to the draft mission
statement.
 watch the language – transforming combined with “our” is rather paternalistic
 would like to include a value on student voice in the mission statement – perhaps
something that acknowledges that recognizing and validating the individual
student drives many aspects of our institution
 likes the format of a one sentence direct statement followed by the identification
of programs and services that are offered in support of the mission
