To provide an interdisciplinary, reality-based,
community responsive Liberal Arts education for urban
working adults.
To operate from a frame of reference that values hospitality, inclusivity, reflection, family, community, collaboration, reciprocity and academic excellence.
Recognizing the importance of personal and professional
growth, research,
scholarship and community service, the Tacoma Campus’
goals are to:
Create a dynamic and nurturing
environment for the cultural, social,
intellectual, personal, professional
and spiritual growth of its students and
the well-being of its host community
through the infusion of diverse
perspectives, the validation
of cultural roots and the examination of
historical experience;
Provide students with the concepts,
information, skills, and experiences
necessary to broaden their perspectives
and frames of reference, and
enhance their ability to have
difficult dialogues across race, class, gender,
age, ability, sexual orientation
and empire; and
Develop and motivate students
to become politically, socially and
intellectually competent so
that they make significant contributions within
their communities.
