| mission
statement |
Washington University’s mission statement, approved by the Board
of Trustees in December 1994, must be published in every academic
bulletin:
The mission of Washington University is the promotion of learning—learning
by students and by faculty. Teaching, the transmission of knowledge,
is central to our mission, as is research, the creation of new knowledge.
Faculty composed of scholars, scientists, artists, and members of
the learned professions serve society by teaching; by adding to
the store of human art, understanding, and wisdom; and by providing
direct services, such as health care.
Our goals are:
to foster excellence in our teaching, research, scholarship,
and service;
to prepare students with the attitudes, skills, and habits of
lifelong learning and with leadership skills, enabling them to be
useful members of a global society; and
to be an exemplary institution in our home community, St. Louis,
as well as in the nation and the world.
To this end we intend:
to judge ourselves by the most demanding standards;
to attract people of great ability from all types of backgrounds;
to encourage faculty and students to be bold, independent, and
creative thinkers; and
to provide the infrastructure to support teaching, research,
scholarship, and service for the present and for future generations.
