Core Values

Adaptability

We are committed to remaining flexible and responsive to change. We value the input from all global sectors that employ IT, higher education colleagues and those across our own university. We execute on existing and new initiatives with a focus on excellence in assisting university constituents with teaching, learning and discovery. 

Service Excellence

Serving students, faculty and staff is our reason for existing. We continually seek to understand the needs of those who depend on us and strive to exceed their expectations.

Collaboration

We work in a collaborative, cooperative, team-driven environment that encourages both individual and shared excellence in striving to achieve our goals. We value the mutual respect that true teamwork entails.

Innovation

We thrive in a culture that is dynamic. We seek, develop and test new ideas to advance the university. Because there is often no one right answer to a question, we rely on experimentation to drive many efforts in search of solutions and continuous improvement.

Integrity

We revere honesty and adhere to the highest ethical standards in our daily work. We strive for transparency in our operations.
