Institutional Mission, Vision and Values
Mission
Middle Georgia State University educates and graduates inspired, lifelong learners
whose scholarship and careers enhance the region and the state.
Vision
We transform individuals and our communities
through extraordinary higher learning.
Middle Georgia State University is committed to serving as a beacon of excellence in professional and career higher education, illuminating the path to success for our students and the communities we serve. We are dedicated to transforming lives, enriching futures, and fostering a dynamic environment where students are empowered to achieve their full potential. We will continuously work to champion student success, lead innovation and economic opportunity, build culture and identity, and sustain fiscal resilience and brand value.
We commit to four core values in what we do and represent:
STEWARDSHIP
Reminding us of our moral and public commitment to the people we serve on and off campus and tasking each of us with the responsibility to marshal our time, talents, and resources for the "Common Good"
ENGAGEMENT
Recognizing that learning is a social activity and that we cannot fulfill our mission of public higher education without collaborating with those on our campuses and outside our doors in our communities
ADAPTABILITY
A cornerstone of human growth, individual and collective, and a necessary hallmark of progress and success, requiring us to lead and manage change — not be simply affected by it
LEARNING
These values underpin that of learning, the reason we exist as an institution and why students entrust us and also what we each must do continuously as faculty and staff to stay abreast of expanding and changing fields of knowledge and grow professionally.
