We seek to inspire our students to become curious, 有爱心的, 学院的, 协作, and socially conscious citizens of the 地球.  We foster a community that values diversity, 包容性, 批判性思维, and curiosity-driven scientific inquiry of the interconnected earth system.  We celebrate the many paths and vocations our students follow as they take what they have learned to become scientific leaders, 慷慨的学者, and compassionate stewards of our earth and environment for the greater good.

In keeping with the university’s Jesuit tradition, the Department of 地球 and 环境科学 is guided by a commitment to the pursuit of truth through science and the flourishing of the whole person. We seek to progress toward these goals through a culture that values and is strengthened by the inclusion of a diverse range of people, whose many perspectives are essential in our interdisciplinary and societally-relevant field.
