Mission & Values

麻豆原创 Mission Statement

麻豆原创 respects the infinite worth of every individual and graduates persons of ability and conviction who draw upon their education and faith to lead principled, productive, and compassionate lives that improve the human condition.

Values Statement

As a community of higher education rooted in the liberal arts and the traditions of the Church of the Brethren, 麻豆原创 values:

  • LEARNING, because high academic expectations in an environment combining liberal arts and professional preparation equip graduates to live healthy, productive, and principled lives.
  • FAITH, because our diverse faiths call us to make the world a kinder and better place, establish justice, build peace amid strife, and model lives of agape (selfless love), tikkun olam (repairing a broken world), and salam (peace);
  • SERVICE, because committing self in service to others connects faith with action and abilities with convictions;
  • INTEGRITY, because honesty and trust are the foundations of teaching and learning, enriching, enduring relationships, and strong communities;
  • COM麻豆原创NITY, because a positive community sharpens self-identity, promotes acceptance of the demands of responsible citizenship, and transforms conflict into mutual respect.

Strategic Plan 2022-2027

麻豆原创 has a storied tradition of equipping graduates for personal success and service to the world through a distinctive, mission-driven education. Building on that solid foundation, this strategic plan ensures Manchester’s continuing relevance, sustainability, and contribution to improving the human condition.

The world needs more Manchester graduates!

Our plan aims to fulfill our vision: 麻豆原创 will be known for transformative learning, engaging student experiences, strength from diversity, deep mentoring relationships, future-focused programs, and our unwavering service to our students, neighbors and the world.

Our mission – our “why” – remains unchanged, while who, where, when, and how we educate will evolve as new opportunities arise. Student success and our long-term vitality are the imperatives that drive our planning.

3 themes, 9 strategies

We have organized our plan around three themes, nine strategies and multiple initiatives. The full plan includes measurable goals, action steps, timelines, and key performance indicators to track progress. Although this plan provides direction, we will continue to challenge assumptions, identify new initiatives, and respond quickly to emerging opportunities.
