5 The Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Fact Book 1996-97 5 Mission Statement

Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University was founded in 1887, thus making it one of the three oldest institutions of higher education in the State of Florida. It is a comprehensive, co-educational, residential, multi-level land-grant university offering a broad range of instruction, research, and service programs at the undergraduate, professional, and graduate levels. As the University moves toward the twenty-first century, a major goal will be to enhance its statewide role as a vital and essential member of the State University System of Florida.

Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University will continue its focus on the educational needs of Blacks and other ethnic minorities, while maintaining its leadership in racial desegregation, equal access, affirmative action, and cultural diversity. At the same time, the University seeks students from all racial, ethnic, religious and national groups, without regard to age, sex, or physical handicap, who have the potential to benefit from a sound university education. As the University grows to its optimal size, it will concentrate a greater student recruiting effort among Florida’s community colleges, while maintaining a wholesome climate of receptivity for international students and all others.

As a growing state, the fourth largest in the U.S., Florida is a microcosm of the consequences of growth and the accompanying racial, ethnic, religious, political and demographic diversity and the issues they present. Among the more pressing concerns are environmental degradation, racial and ethnic conflict, poverty and unemployment, the deterioration of family life, the problems of the aged, poor nutrition, an inadequate health-care system, and shortages of competent professionals in public education. As a public, land-grant institution, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University is committed to addressing these concerns through research programs, on-campus education, the cooperative extension program, the continuing education program, and new programs created in response to these needs.

The University is preeminent among the state universities for the cultural and racial diversity of its faculty. It will expand its efforts to attract faculty and staff who not only are competent in their academic areas, but able to provide instruction and learning across cultural lines with sensitivity and understanding. Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University will seek to carry out its mission within a climate which promotes moral and ethical values among its constituency.

Utilizing a strong liberal arts program as its base, the University offers courses of study to educate students to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world through a commitment to lifelong learning and to provide a sound foundation for advanced study. The twelve schools and colleges are committed to excellence in instruction, learning, and research, and cover a wide range of academic disciplines and related professional preparation. Of particular concern to the University are those fields in which Blacks and other ethnic minorities are critically under-represented. In addition, the University accepts the challenge of helping to develop a truly multicultural, international society that is based upon respect and individual dignity.

Baccalaureate and master’s degrees are offered in a wide range of disciplines. Doctoral degrees are offered in pharmacy and engineering. As a land-grant institution, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University maintains an abiding commitment to adult and continuing education outreach programs, and other ways of serving the needs of non-traditional learners. Agricultural research and the Cooperative Extension program serve Florida’s citizens, with a special emphasis on the needs of the rural poor and the small farmer. As these programs expand, research opportunities in agricultural experiment stations will be planned and developed.

The Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University 6 Fact Book 1996-97 Mission Statement (CONT.)

To help ensure optimum learning, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University will provide an environment which will allow each student the utilization of the latest technology available throughout their educational careers. In view of the impact of rapidly developing technology, the University will strengthen programs that prepare its students, particularly Blacks and other ethnic minorities, for careers in interna- tional affairs. During the last five years, the University achieved a national reputation for attracting high- achieving students. It will increase its efforts to provide attractive and stimulating student activities complementary to formal classroom instruction and academic performance. Among these will be a structured honors program, an artist and lecture series, intramural and intercollegiate athletics, and student organizations. Specific attention will be focused on the health of students and on maintaining conditions of wellness that will make for an optimal quality of life in the university community.

While maintaining its fundamental commitment to excellence in undergraduate education through existing courses of study, the University will continue to broaden its offerings at the baccalaureate level. The enhancement of the undergraduate experience through effective teaching and academic advisement, will remain a hallmark of the University’s dedication to study and learning.

Among the highest priorities in the development of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University as it looks to the future, will be graduate study and research. Therefore, the University will seek to offer a broader range of graduate and professional programs, especially, in disciplines where there is a demonstrated need. In the planning and implementation of these new graduate degrees, interdisciplinary and innovative approaches will be major considerations. These approaches will maximize existing unit strengths, contain costs, and mitigate against dysfunctional overspecialization.

Systematic research is a fundamental complement to advanced study, particularly at the doctoral level. The University will, therefore, provide a supportive environment for grantsmanship and scholarly inquiry at all levels, department, division, college and school and through its centers, and the Division of Sponsored Research. In the pursuit of excellence in Graduate Studies and Research, the University will intensify its efforts to establish functional and supportive linkages with the corporate sector and private foundations.

CONCLUSION

As Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University approaches the Twenty-First Century, it must take into account the plethora of issues, concerns, and problems which face Florida, the Nation, and the world. Building upon its history, its legacy, its recognized capability, and its achievements, the University will continue its multifaceted thrusts to enhance study, learning, research and service at the highest levels of quality, with equal access for all. The University’s mission will be supportive of the priority educational goals of the State University System of Florida. Scholarship and academic excellence shall be the guideposts as the University emerges into greater national prominence, with enhanced and expanded programs, while serving its diverse constituencies with competence, sensitivity and pedagogical effective- ness. As telecommunications and other advanced technologies accentuate the interrelatedness of the global community, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University will increasingly incorporate the interna- tional arena into its projections and programs.
