We are not your standard school. Like Peter, our beloved Anteater mascot, we’re quirky
and different. We’re on a mission to create positive change in society, economies
and human well-being by breaking down traditional barriers and pushing the limits
in teaching, research and service. Doing so requires a different attitude, aim and
set of actions. Learn more about ours below in our strategic plan.
After checking us out and you find you’re someone who gets as excited as we do about
these possibilities, we invite you to join us in our pursuit.
Bill Maurer, Dean
