Our Values and Beliefs

A professor stands before his class, gesturing toward a whiteboard and projector screen.

The study of psychology centers around understanding behavior and cognition—and how we develop and interact with one another across a wide range of contexts and experiences. As a community of scholars, we support excellence and integrity in teaching, mentorship, and research.  We work to support all members of our community by fostering more engaging and enlightening learning experiences, encouraging more rigorous and impactful research, and promoting more harmonious and collegial relationships.

Our Vision

We strive to advance the discipline through significant contributions to research and scholarship, excellence in teaching and mentoring within our undergraduate and graduate programs, dissemination and application of psychological science, and a commitment to supporting access and opportunity.

Our Mission

We aspire to be a leading contributor to the field of psychology and to enhance the human experience through a commitment to excellence in research, teaching, and mentoring in a learning environment grounded in mutual respect, intellectual honesty, and constructive dialogue.
