Mission and Values

Values are the foundations, or the core of an individual or an organization. They are how one acts, how an organization conducts itself. Values determine one's personal vision, and one's vision is the situation or circumstance which one wants to create, ideally, in the future. An organization's mission is its purpose, why it exists. Most exist to add some distinctive source of value to the world. One's position is how one is perceived by one's customers.

Core values are the bricks upon which we build our School. As the foundation, these values define how we want to act, behave, and live. All of us, each day, try to exemplify one or more of these values.

Our vision......
is to create a situation in which stakeholders (students, alumni, faculty, and industry) choose us first, because we are the leader in hospitality business education.

Our mission......
is to continually enhance The School's leadership position in hospitality business education through teaching, research, and service.

Our position......
is to be perceived as the premier educational experience for the business of hospitality, and to remain The First, The Original, and still The Leader.
