Our mission, Expanding Horizons refers to the idea of providing students with diverse and challenging opportunities to broaden their knowledge, skills, and perspectives beyond their immediate environment. This can include exposure to different cultures and ways of thinking, participation in community service and leadership programs, and engagement in interdisciplinary and experiential learning. The goal is to help students develop a holistic perspective, as well as the skills and competencies needed to succeed in an increasingly interconnected and dynamic world.
