As an academic service and outreach unit, the ORSP is committed to the academic excellence of the
University. As such, the ORSP values:
 A broad definition of research and creative activity that includes the scholarship of discovery, the
scholarship of learning, and the scholarship of engagement;
 The pursuit of knowledge in an environment that encourages free and open inquiry, academic
achievement, innovation, scholarship, and creativity;
 The collaborative nature of research, outreach, and other types of regional engagement;
 The importance of research experiences for undergraduate and graduate students; and

commercialization, compliance, and regional engagement. In addition, the ORSP will create an environment
that fosters professional development to better serve our constituents.
