Our Pathways
Four pathways lead to our North Star and guide decision-making. While they can stand alone, they are more impactful as they intersect.
Pathway 1: Ignite Interdisciplinarity
The problems facing our globe and society are multi-faceted and complex, demanding solutions that require learning and expertise falling outside the boundaries of higher education’s traditional structures. Learn more about Pathway 1.
Pathway 2: Integrate Humanity and Technology
From health-related inquiry to the social sciences and humanities, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ uses technology to deepen and enrich the disciplines, always keeping the human element at the center. Learn more about Pathway 2.
Pathway 3: Achieve Social Impact
Social impact and the translation of knowledge is important to ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. To achieve a deeper impact, we must disseminate our research and teaching more widely beyond our campus, and we must embark on meaningful partnerships. Learn more about Pathway 3.
Pathway 4: Shape the Agora
