Metro State University is committed to operationalizing and infusing the Mission, Vision, and Values statements throughout its culture. The goal is for the university community to understand, recite, be engaged, live out, and be inspired by the Misson, Vision, and Values. Metro State strives to permeate these statements into all we do, including strategic planning, university master planning, policies and procedures, human resource practices, and throughout every division, department, individual’s daily work, actions, interactions, and behaviors.
Metro State conducted a comprehensive review and evaluation of its mission, vision, and values statements following the recommendations of our Higher Learning Commission Accreditation Liaison Officer and in accordance with the requirements of the Minnesota State System of Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees.
Efforts undertaken included:
The statements reflect Metro State’s core identity as a comprehensive urban university committed to meeting the higher education needs of the Twin Cities and greater metropolitan population, with a strong connection to our communities' lifelong learners and a continued focus on removing barriers to access to educational attainment.
The Minnesota State Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the revisions in March 2024.
How we see our work evolving into the future.
Metro State University will deliver the transformative power of higher education to all. As a national leader, we will innovate to meet emerging challenges, remove barriers to access and success, and propel the social and economic mobility of diverse learners and their communities.
