The mission of Washington University is the promotion of learning — learning by students and by faculty. Teaching, the transmission of knowledge, is central to our mission, as is research, the creation of new knowledge. Faculty composed of scholars, scientists, artists, and members of the learned professions serve society by teaching; by adding to the store of human art, understanding, and wisdom; and by providing direct services, such as health care.
Our goals are:
• to foster excellence in our teaching, research, scholarship, and service;
• to prepare students with the attitudes, skills, and habits of lifelong learning and with leadership skills, enabling them to be useful members of a global society; and
• to be an exemplary institution in our home community, St. Louis, as well as in the nation and in the world.
To this end we intend:
• to judge ourselves by the most demanding standards;
• to attract people of great ability from all types of backgrounds;
• to encourage faculty and students to be bold, independent, and creative thinkers;
• to provide the infrastructure to support teaching, research, scholarship, and service for the present and for future generations.
