Cultivating Community:

We are committed to making a difference by going beyond expectations through mentoring, volunteering, and providing meaningful support for our broader community

We tackle difficult problems and understand that solutions require bold thinking and new approaches. We have a future-oriented mindset, with a focus on innovation, long-term impact, and continuous improvement

We value diverse perspectives and prioritize working together across boundaries to achieve shared goals. We welcome new ideas and encourage critical thinking

We take initiative, act with purpose, and embrace failure as part of progress—especially when leading change and striving for results.

We will revitalize programs through innovative curriculum reform, integrating experiential learning across academic and non-academic initiatives. We will meet the evolving needs of a diverse, global learner population and ensure relevance to workforce and societal demands.

We will foster a vibrant and inclusive environment by investing in infrastructure and initiatives that enhance engagement, belonging, and enjoyment for all—ultimately strengthening student experience and campus culture.

We will amplify our story by aligning our messaging and outreach efforts to highlight our unique strengths. By opening our campus to and actively engaging with the broader community and agricultural industry, we will showcase our talent, build authentic relationships, and foster an environment that strengthens both local and global connections.

We will foster a vibrant, collaborative, and well-funded research ecosystem by strengthening interdisciplinary teamwork and stakeholder engagement. Through targeting strategic funding, we will create opportunities for cross disciplinary approaches and collaboration with internal and external partners.
