Strive to model collaboration, scholarship, and community engagement to inspire education, health, and sport professionals to transform the world.

A learning community actively engaged in social change.

We believe educators and practitioners must be scholars who value and engage in lifelong learning. Our community supports the never-ending quest for knowledge, thoughtful reflection, and evolving practice.

We value human dignity and diversity in all forms, embrace our differences, and honor all voices. We understand the collective power inherent in fully inclusive communities where each may meet their full potential to contribute.

Our conception of education is holistic. We understand the body, mind, and heart must be nurtured equally in all that we do.

Creativity and vision are strengths we value and nurture. An open, creative mindset encourages constant reflection on our world and new ways of making it more humane, just, sustainable, and beautiful.

We understand that as educators and practitioners, we are inherently leaders and role models in all that we do. We work to build strong, civically engaged communities that fearlessly strive for a more just world.
