OSU-Cascades Vision Statement
Vision
The guiding vision of OSUCascades is to contribute significantly to intellectual, cultural,
ecological, social and economic vitality. To achieve that goal, the OSU-Cascades community
will strive to model principles and practices of a thriving, equitable and sustainable society. A
culture of learning and exploration provides significant rewards to its members; those rewards
are best achieved when all community members (faculty, staff, administrators, students and
Board of Advisors) strive to honor the following principles:
1. Respect the dignity and uniqueness of individuals. This principle applies to a diversity of
cultures, belief systems, academic ranks and academic/ professional disciplines.
2. Aspire to excellence and integrity in every endeavor.
3. Consider current and future generations in every deliberation.
4. Demonstrate leadership in service to community.
