We believe that diversity — in background, status, culture, and viewpoint — is essential to a vital and creative community. We respect the roles and views of all members of our college community and operate our institution in a spirit of collegiality. We aspire to an ideal of service to the wider community and of advocacy for the value of the arts.
in the broader context of liberal learning and designed to encourage individual creativity. We challenge students to develop their talents to their highest potential, questioning the traditional boundaries of disciplines. We work to build diversity and inclusiveness in our faculty, staff, and student body. We foster community-building both inside and outside the college. We educate students to examine critically the form and content of art, both their own and others’, to understand it in historical, social, and global contexts. We choose faculty who are practicing professionals in their disciplines and whose work reflects the level of excellence we promote for our students. We seek students with excellent potential, regardless of limitations in their opportunities for preparation. We nurture the development of students
