Mission
The Center enhances the education of students for responsible citizenship and effective leadership.

Vision
Students and alumni are responsible citizens and effective leaders. They are aware of and engaged in the world around them and use their talents and means to create a more just and humane society.
Students and alumni are well-known and respected for their leadership acumen and public service
tradition. They readily seek and accept opportunities for leadership; partake actively in professional,
civic, and community organizations; offer themselves for positions of trust and public service; and
strive to make positive changes in their professions and communities.
