Calling

Calling

We are called by new knowledge and experience, by other people, by pressing need, by global events and crisis, and-for many-by the universe, a higher power, by God, into awareness that life is more than securing a comfortable existence for oneself.

 

Relationship

Relationship

We are called into relationship, into communities both temporary and life-long marked by diversity in life and thought, where we live into mutual responsibility for each other, trusting that we can be and do more together than apart in isolation.

 

 

Human and Ecological Flourishing

Human & Ecological Flourishing

We are called together to promote human and ecological flourishing–the mission of this university–and so let learning animate service and care for this world and our commitment to strive for justice and peace wherever we find ourselves.
