Code of Conduct

Our collective efforts to behave in a manner consistent with the University’s values will promote a positive work environment and lead to success in reaching our institutional goals.

  • Service.  We seek opportunities to serve others and commit to providing the highest quality of service.
  • Curiosity. We ask questions and seek new opportunities and changes through innovation.
  • We welcome questions without defensiveness and focus on the issue and not the person.
  • We accept and encourage change that is for the greater good.
  • We think broadly and engage others from other departments to get a diverse perspective.
  • And we find ways to remove barriers and strive to improve processes.

Things to think about
