Graceland University Vision, Mission & Statement of Values

There are reasons for attending the university that may not be clear to you until years after your graduation. Taking tests, meeting deadlines, solving roommate conflicts and making personal decisions are all routine aspects of student life. Your experience in these activities contributes to your overall ability to meet the responsibilities and challenges of life beyond your Graceland years. The sense of confidence you build through your experiences may be as significant to you in the future as your major and degree.

Vision Statement Graceland University will become a recognized educational leader, inspiring and empowering persons for transformational service and leadership.

Mission Statement Graceland creates learning communities where students develop their potential for meaningful and productive lives.

Statement of Values Graceland values learning, wholeness, and community. Graceland encourages the adoption of these values for the enrichment of lives and the betterment of the world.

Learning We believe in the life long process of the open and free pursuit of truth.

Wholeness We believe that the development of the intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual dimensions of all persons is necessary for healthy and fulfilling lives.

Community We appreciate and welcome diversity and, as an institution sponsored by the Community of Christ, believe in the inherent worth of all persons expressed through relationships built on the foundation of guidelines and regulations.
