7: WE ARE POSITIVE, RESPONSIBLE, INCLUSIVE AND INTEGRATED WITH OUR UNIVERSITY.
Positive. We have a positive mindset and focus on our strengths. We address our challenges but are not consumed by them.
Responsible. We're answerable for what we do and what we fail to do. No one else. No excuses. Being responsible requires us to be accountable, reliable, self-sufficient, self-reliant, disciplined and independent.
Inclusive. Absolutely believing that differences make us stronger, we appreciate being a collective of people from diverse cultures, backgrounds and experiences. We value and embrace inclusivity and diversity as a strength of our institution.
Integration. We have a special responsibility to integrate ourselves not only with the University but also with our department and each other, the city of Bloomington, our hometowns, our other communities, and ultimately the world at large. More than being the right thing to do, this integration makes us stronger by giving us a greater understanding and appreciation of the world.
