- Navigate leadership and co-curricular opportunities to promote individual growth and social responsibility.
- Foster healthy habits, routines, and behaviors for students to navigate college life and prepare for postgraduate success.
- Commit to grow professionally and develop connections to create a workplace culture that is responsive, empathetic, dedicated, and innovative.
- Exercise wise stewardship and maintenance of college resources to support co-curricular learning and community safety.
