Working to realize our vision for the future

任务

The University of New England prepares students to thrive in a rapidly changing world and, 这样做的时候, to improve the health of people, 社区, 我们的星球.

愿景

We realize this mission through our commitment to a distinctive approach to education that puts UNE among the most experientially driven institutions of higher education in the nation. We provide teaching and learning that conjoins problem-based and hands-on learning, 博雅教育, and professional training to immerse students in an educational experience that prepares them with:

  • 思维习惯, 比如文化, 定量, 信息素养, 批判性思维, 对模糊的容忍度, 以及解决问题的能力;
  • Discipline-based knowledge in their chosen programs of study; and
  • 专业能力, including emotional intelligence, the ability to collaborate in diverse teams, the skills to communicate persuasively, and the attributes to be thoughtful leaders.

We are an institution that challenges students to learn broadly, master their professional skills, 问一些探索性的问题, and engage in respectful discourse in the context of a robust marketplace of ideas. 以这种方式, they prepare themselves for further study and successful careers, 深深回馈生命, and meaningful contributions to their 社区 and the world.

I am very proud of our community’s plan and equally proud of the process we followed to develop it. We now devote ourselves to working together to realize our exciting vision of UNE’s future.” —詹姆斯·赫伯特总统

核心价值观

We are guided by the following values, essential to the culture of the UNE community.

学生中心

We put the aspirations, needs, and success of our students at the center of all we do.

Diversity, Inclusion, Connection

We believe the benefits of a richly varied campus community arise not only from the diversity of its people but also from a sense of belonging and the context this creates to explore and celebrate differences in backgrounds, 经历, 和观点, underpinned by a sense of cultural humility and a commitment to ethical ideals.

无情的调查

We take nothing for granted and view thoughtful — even uncomfortable — questioning and civil discourse as essential to the pursuit of knowledge, 对社会的贡献, 还有值得过的生活. Our commitment to University-wide academic freedom is fundamental to this value.

边界穿越

Solutions to the complex and varied challenges we face in our personal and professional lives, 我们的社区, and society will not be found in any single discipline, 大学, 物理位置, 或者个人. 因此, our ability to move easily across such boundaries in order to collaborate with colleagues makes us better problem solvers and more likely to succeed in whatever ventures we undertake.

学习无处不在

We believe that teaching and learning should occur beyond traditional classrooms and laboratories — in any place ripe for inquiry and experimentation, 包括诊所, environmental and field-study sites, 网上论坛, 库, 博物馆, 影院, and places of civic engagement, 在许多其他方面.

进步的变化

We are not afraid to take thoughtful risks in the pursuit of our shared goals. Our mindset is to strategically forecast and plan for possibilities in an unknown future.

管理我们的星球

We are committed to promoting environmental, 社会, and economic well-being to improve the health of individuals, 社区, 和生态系统.
