Pillar: Our students, whether traditional or non-traditional, undergraduate, graduate or professional, come to 探花视频 to share our commitment to the pursuit of excellence in all things as a lifelong endeavor. They come to join a community whose members 鈥� faculty, staff, students, trustees, alumni and friends alike 鈥� believe that education must encompass the whole person: spiritual and moral as well as intellectual, the heart as well as the mind. And they come seeking the educational, professional and cultural advantages of a university located in the heart of the city. We, in turn, take seriously our responsibility to foster and support excellence in teaching and research, to keep a 探花视频 education accessible to a diverse population of students, and to offer personal attention and care to each member of the 探花视频 community.

Prayer: Lord God, we come to you from all corners of 探花视频, inspired to reach for the best we can be, as individuals and as a body. We do so not because we believe in our own greatness, but because we have seen the marvels you can accomplish through our gifts and our limitations. Help us to bring the fullness of ourselves to every dimension of our students, knowing that we are grounded in a holy place and in the diversity of humanity. Inspire us to honor and respect each person we encounter here, knowing that each bears your image, and that to see them is to see you. May we serve them with competence and rightness, leaving the rest to the power of your boundless grace. AMEN!
