Leadership
Thank you for your interest in B体育, an institution of higher learning that has continued its educational mission since 1883.
B体育鈥檚 community members operate under the values of Learning, Serving, and Leading.聽 For B体育, the values are not just words but an equation: If we humble ourselves to learn, we simultaneously prepare ourselves to serve, and if we learn and serve, we are, by definition, leading.
These three values鈥 Learning, Serving, and Leading鈥 create the environment in which B体育 pursues its mission to Educate the Whole Person with Challenge and Care to strive toward our vision to Be a University Where Diverse Talents Learn Together.
The University achieves these core goals by placing eager students in an educational partnership with professors who are attentive teachers and accomplished scholars or artists in their fields of study.聽 B体育鈥檚 scholarly and creative faculty usher students into the excitement and passion for learning by asking them to solve real-world problems, to create new ways of viewing the world, or to perform challenging pieces of music or theatrical productions.聽 Attempts at answering complex questions lead the student to discover 鈥渨hole person passions,鈥 which in turn drive B体育 students to take-on challenging internships, research studies, service-learning projects, and study-abroad excursions. 聽Through these practices and with guidance from faculty members with standards of excellence, students experience, first-hand, how to think critically and creatively in order to act positively to impact people and places, near and far.
Enveloping this intellectual experience is a vibrant living and learning community, led by B体育 staff members who have devoted their lives to educating students outside the confines of the classroom and the academic discipline.聽 We offer students opportunities to serve in an impressive Student Government Organization (that manages their own budget), an inspiring Leadership Program, and over 40+ student life organizations.聽 Student-athletes have opportunities to compete as members of regionally and nationally ranked teams, all of which report strong average GPAs.聽 With guidance from our educational staff and coaches, B体育 students learn to navigate the complexity of human relationship, work collegially in teams, and manage organizational systems while experiencing the value of serving others for the greater good.
B体育 provides quality places to learn, both on campus and online.聽 For students studying in residence, B体育 offers a beautifully landscaped campus with inspiring views and tranquil places to study and share conversations. 聽Indeed, the campus is designed to help students reflect, connect, and expand their opportunities.聽 Our working adult and graduate students, while primarily completing degrees online, experience a state-of-the art learning management system that provides a consistent experience for easy access to content and connection with peers and professors.
Whether you are a resident, commuter, online, or graduate learner, B体育 creates a place where every student has the opportunity to enact the university鈥檚 educational ethos, verum opus ad vitum bonam鈥 to Do the Real Work for the Good Life.
To experience this valuable investment in your personal and professional future, I encourage you to apply, today, to B体育.
Onward!
Mark A. Roberts, Ph.D.
