planners.<br />

• Attracting and developing a similarly diverse faculty of men and women with outstanding academic<br />

qualifications who are dedicated to teaching . . . and to those scholarly and professional activities that<br />

enhance the teaching-learning process.<br />

• Attracting and developing a professional and administrative staff whose qualifications and experience<br />

provide outstanding leadership and support services.<br />

• Forming strong relationships with carefully selected co-op employers who are committed to providing<br />

continuous and progressive work experience to support the undergraduate and graduate degree programs.<br />

• Conducting a substantial program of research that benefits co-op employers and provides opportunities<br />

for faculty to remain current in their fields.<br />

• Providing excellent instructional and student development facilities including classrooms, laboratories,<br />

and computers.<br />

• Maintaining a pervasive atmosphere of excellence, fairness, and ethical behavior in every aspect of its<br />
