Ohio University Vision

Ohio University Core Values

Excellence is our hallmark: Outstanding people, ideas, and programs drive our educational mission.

Integrity, civility, and diversity define our community: These values guide our leadership in a global society.

Stewardship enhances our legacy: As Ohio’s first institution of public higher education, we are mindful of our accountability to the public trust.

Ohio University Guiding Principles

As Ohio University works to achieve its vision, a set of fundamental principles guide our decisions:

Strong undergraduate programs with a liberal arts core are a vital and necessary foundation.

Strong graduate and professional programs are necessary to achieve our educational, research, and creative mission.

All forms of research, scholarship, and creative activity are vital to the intellectual life of the University, and their integration into both graduate and undergraduate curricula is a key component of student success.

Learning at the University is enhanced by creating a community of students, faculty, and staff who come from diverse backgrounds. That community benefits from our commitment to international education and the inclusion of global perspectives in our curricula.

Advising, mentoring, personal interaction, and active engagement among faculty, staff, students, and alumni greatly enhance the educational experience.

Learning is derived from the totality of the college experience, including activities both inside and outside the classroom.

Shared governance—the inclusion of input from all constituent groups is central to our decision-making processes.

Our continuing success requires judgments about and selective investment in initiatives that will advance our mission.

Accountability is essential to effective management and requires commitments to assessment, planning, decision making, and continual improvement.

To support our educational mission in achieving the goals outlined above, we require a well-maintained infrastructure of people and facilities. Our academic support services exist to serve the academic mission: they should be effective, efficient, and continually improving. A sense of community and an appealing environment provide a special place in which to learn, live, and work. All individuals in the University community are valued; their skills and knowledge should be cultivated, their work supported, and their leadership skills developed. Interactions among all individuals in the University community should be built on standards of civility, integrity, caring, and collaboration. Our commitment to the region is expressed through stewardship of shared resources, access to programs and services, and contribution to economic development.
