Mission, Vision, and Values
Mission
The Study Abroad Office at ÃÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµ creates transformative learning experiences for all students to pursue their education at sites around the world. The Office works with partners on campus and worldwide to create a dynamic menu of accessible off-campus academic programs that support academic success, the ÃÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµ Experience, global citizenship, and the mission of the University.
Vision
Study abroad will be integral to the ÃÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµ curriculum and the ÃÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµ Experience, with the support of faculty across disciplines and colleges. Our vision is that all students will have access to study abroad as part of their undergraduate degree program regardless of academic plan, background, or financial means. Students who study abroad will thrive as innovative, globally-minded members of their communities here and beyond.
Values
Student-Centered
Students are at the center of our operation and the ÃÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµ Experience. We want them to have a positive experience on our campus and abroad. We guide students to make decisions based on what is best for their academic, financial, and personal needs, then provide our support in their global learning experience.
Access
We are committed to designing global learning programs with a welcoming and inclusive environment for all students. We promote access to study abroad for every ÃÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµ student by actively working to reduce academic and financial barriers. ÃÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµ study abroad programs are designed to support students of all backgrounds, identities, and disciplines. We strive to develop high quality, affordable program options both internationally and domestically and seek scholarships and other funding for students.
Health & Safety
We actively prioritize the security and wellness of our students on their study abroad experience.
Academic Excellence
ÃÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµ designs study abroad opportunities grounded in academic excellence, connecting experiences inside and outside of the classroom, while integrating global perspectives throughout teaching, learning, and research. ÃÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµ study abroad students approach the world with curiosity, develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and become lifelong learners.
Collaboration
We actively engage with and value the input of ÃÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµ University’s faculty to design and lead academically-enriching programs. We work closely with academic advisers and student support staff to provide excellent services to our students. We are grateful for the Global Lasallian Network and our many international partners around the globe.
