Values

We’re proud to be a welcoming and supportive learning community—one where you can feel comfortable joining in or confidently standing out.

Rooted in our land-grant mission to expand access to higher education across Ohio and beyond, we are committed to fostering an environment that values a broad range of perspectives and experiences. Our goal is to create a welcoming learning environment that supports all students in achieving their academic and professional aspirations, while upholding the principles of intellectual freedom, open inquiry and respectful dialogue.

We believe:

  • A wide range backgrounds and perspectives spark creativity, enabling us to solve complex problems with more effective and innovative solutions.
  • Broadening access to talent builds a stronger, more representative academic and professional community.
  • Faculty with different paths, viewpoints and expertise help cultivate an inclusive atmosphere where students and faculty learn from one another.
Across our school and campus, students, faculty and staff have access to a wide array of resources designed to support academic success and personal development so they can thrive. These include academic and career advising, student advocacy and opportunities for engagement in educational, recreational and service activities that promote growth and global awareness.

These values are consistent with Ohio State’s Shared Values and encompass principles and behaviors that honor our commitment to develop transformative leaders in health and rehabilitation sciences.
