encourage inquiry designed to engage each student's thoughtful approaches to
addressing societal problems using scientific reasoning; with the expectation
that students will enroll in graduate degree studies.
Graduation:
We support each student's desire
for academic success creating an environment where educationally purposeful
activities focus on removing distractions that hinder graduation.

to student attrition.
