Mission Statement

The Wayne D. McMurray School of Humanities and Social Sciences strives to prepare students to excel in their disciplines while developing lifelong habits of critical thinking and creative expression. Inside and outside the classroom, through example, mentorship, research and experiential opportunities, we illuminate the complexities of the human experience, cultivate cultural and civic engagement, and equip students with the competencies, ethical maturity, and human ingenuity needed to adapt to an ever-changing technological and social landscape. Our students develop as global citizens who create hopeful futures for themselves, their communities, their country, and the world.
