- Supporting a multidisciplinary field of scholarship that continues to have a substantial impact on knowledge, and related methodologies and ways of thinking, in the humanities, social sciences, sciences, and professional areas.
- To offer Undergraduate, Masters and PhD programs committed to ensuring critical advances in knowledge, democratic communities, and equity in scholarship, research, and teaching.
