How we do it

To fulfill our mission and realize our vision, we commit ourselves to these values:

In the spirit of Pro Humanitate, we advance the work of Wake Forest University through:

excellence with confidence and humility

We strive for excellence with integrity, humility and curiosity. That means we set high expectations and achieve them the right way. We are confident in our talents and abilities, and still, we seek ways to continually improve. We rely on our knowledge and experience, yet we ask questions, share information and seek solutions by being curious.

inclusion as a community where all are welcome

We value an open and accessible environment where people feel welcome and able to share their experiences, perspectives and talents. As we nurture meaningful connection, we are dedicated to treating everyone with dignity and respect, appreciating each other as individuals.

wellbeing in our personal and professional lives

We invest in personal and professional growth and wellbeing. We meet each other where we are, acknowledging that we are not yet what we will be. We bring our whole selves to an environment of continual learning and growth.

responsibility for ourselves and to our team

We are committed to individual responsibility and shared success. As individuals, we own the outcome of our decisions and actions. As colleagues, we fulfill our commitments to one another. By working together, we will achieve out goals and aspirations.

adaptability to face challenges through innovation problem solving

We work in a culture of openness, trust, collaboration and creativity. Our environment relies on inviting all voices and listening with active engagement. It requires flexibility and trust, realizing that we will achieve more if we lean on one another.
