We leverage opportunities with global partners from industry, not-for-profit organizations, governments, and philanthropists to move ideas rapidly from conception to application. The university has an obligation to societies worldwide to contribute to the grand challenges facing humanity and to develop leaders who will further cultural understanding and social justice, improve quality of life, and help to secure a prosperous and sustainable future for all.
