- The fierce pursuit of intellectual excellence
- An unwavering commitment to social justice
- The promotion of transformative teaching
- The sustenance of rich, trans-national, and diverse communities of thinkers, artists, writers and leaders.
The Institute encourages the involvement of women faculty, and students, and religious in order to nourish and support and the role of women on campus and beyond in the 21st Century.
