| Mission | |
| School mission: | Willamette University is committed to excellence in scholarship and teaching innovation. A Willamette education is characterized by lively dialogue, intellectual curiosity, partnership with award-winning professors, and engagement inside and outside the classroom. Our professors help students develop as independent thinkers who question actively, write effectively, speak persuasively and work collaboratively. These skills are valued by graduate schools and employers alike. Willamette graduates receive fellowships to study at the best national and international graduate schools, including the London School of Economics, Harvard, MIT and Stanford. They demonstrate their commitment to others in the Peace Corps and Teach For America. And they shape the world of business, technology and politics working at Nike, Google, Flir, Pixar, Intel, Microsoft, the Oregon Supreme Court, the U.S. Senate and the White House. Many students create the blueprint for meaningful professional and personal lives while at Willamette, where our living motto, "Not unto ourselves alone are we born", inspires humanitarian engagement and a deeper understanding of the world. The National Wildlife Federation ranked Willamette first in the nation for sustainable activities, many of them student-led, and our Sustainability Council and Council for Diversity and Social Justice have their origins in student activism. Student enterprise is also evident in the Bistro, a student-created and -managed coffeehouse; the volunteer-run Bike Shop; and more than 100 student-led organizations. Willamette represents the best of the Pacific Northwest, a region known for its clean air, clear water and beautiful natural environment. |
