4. That all of life’s tasks are sacred and are to be done as unto the Lord.
5. That the education process be a collaboration with faculty and staff, helping to transform students into self-sufficient, lifelong learners.
6. That course of instruction be designed and delivered to provide our graduates with the skills and knowledge needed in their chosen careers.
