Faculty CU’s Teaching Philosophy

Statement of Purpose

• A belief that our students succeed in college and later in life because they have been taught to strive for excellence, to value hard work, to think critically, to collaborate productively, to express themselves thoughtfully, and to overcome the challenges they encounter in life
• A belief that the rich diversity of perspectives, personalities, and passions our students bring makes the school a community in which each can learn from all
• A belief that talented, dedicated and passionate faculty who find fulfillment in their work and demand nothing less than the best from themselves, their students, and their fellow faculty, are the most valuable resource any university could ever have
• A belief that we are privileged to be educating our students and confidence in the knowledge that their success depends upon their capacity for integrity, their capacity for managing complexity, their adaptability and perseverance, and their self-confidence in embarking upon ambitious undertakings.
