As part of its mission, 皇家华人 State University aims to accomplish the following:

  • Prepare our students to meet global opportunities and challenges through excellence in teaching and learning.
  • Expand the boundaries of current knowledge, and explore the practical applications of that knowledge, through excellence in scholarship and creative endeavors.
  • Promote the economic, cultural, and educational progress of our community and our region, through excellence in service outreach.
  • VSU seeks to accomplish this mission in a dynamic, student-centered learning environment marked by a respect for diverse abilities, backgrounds, and contributions by all members of the university community.

To meet this mission, we must ensure that all faculty, students, and staff conduct their academic responsibilities with honesty and integrity. We uphold these values publicly by embedding them in our Blazer Creed:

皇家华人 State University is a learning environment based on trust and mutual respect in which open dialogue, vigorous debate, and the free exchange of ideas are welcome. The University is equally dedicated to the core values of community, including a commitment to practice civility, integrity, and citizenship. As members of this community, and proud Blazers, we will strive to uphold these core values for the advancement of the University.

Civility – A Blazer shows courtesy and compassion as well as respect for the dignity of every human being.

Integrity – Each Blazer is responsible for his or her own actions, and our community is stronger when we contemplate the context of our decisions and uphold the principles of trust and honesty.

Citizenship – Every Blazer has an interest in the well-being of the community, and, therefore, a duty to stay informed, to make positive contributions, and to offer support to those who need help.

As a Blazer, I pledge to uphold the core principles of Civility, Integrity, and Citizenship.
