Mission
The Grace Community Institute is an innovative learning community where faculty, staff, and students of diverse cultures and perspectives work collaboratively to foster academic excellence, social purpose, meaningful service, and personal fulfillment. As a Christian Institute, Grace endeavors to educate and motivate students to assume leadership roles in professions that improve and enrich the lives of individuals, families, and communities. Grace embraces human diversity—which we believe to be the natural expression of God’s creation—in our work to advance learning and service. Grace advances, sustains, and advocates for multicultural proficiency.
The strategies for accomplishing this mission are:
- Promoting discourse that values each member’s background, experiences, and perspective.
- Recruiting, retaining, and advancing diverse students, staff, and faculty.
