values and traditions call every member of its community to respond and contribute to this world as an informed and responsible citizen and as an engaged and compassionate individual.

Through its overarching commitment to these values and to the concept and practice of integrating learning and living in community, and building upon the demonstrated and widely recognized strengths of our existing partnerships, the University will deliberately incorporate international and intercultural dimensions as central elements of its academic and student affairs programs.

They will be cultivated on the University’s campus, within the Dayton community and both across and beyond the United States. Such initiatives are essential as we broaden our relationships to become a more diverse, multicultural and international university.
