Four Pillars of Learning • Tradition: To ensure the well-being of the Diné People, a graduate of Diné College will incorporate Navajo ways of life and thinking as a successful global citizen. • Leadership: To ensure the well-being of the Diné People, a graduate of Diné College will lead with integrity, confidence, compassion, vision, and resilience. • Knowledge: To ensure the well-being of the Diné People, a graduate of Diné College will display a level of proficiency in their declared field(s) of study and general education that enables them to successfully pursue professional careers or advanced studies and engage in life-long learning. • Skills: To ensure the well-being of the Diné People, a graduate of Diné College will engage in critical thinking and problem-solving skills to make informed decisions.
