Pillars of the Arch

Wisdom

challenges us to apply the lessons we receive inside and outside the classroom to our everyday lives. Wisdom encourages discovery and expression, celebrating the diversity within our community.

Justice

leads us to be fair in our dealings, accountable for our actions, responsible for ourselves, and empathetic for others. Justice requires honesty, establishing credibility and integrity for our community and ourselves.

Moderation

compels us to act with civility, bolstering our faith in others and the faith other have in us. Moderation accentuates our self-respect, promotes responsible citizenship, and enhances pride in our university.

Without each of these pillars, the Arch would lose its strength and balance. Likewise, all three qualities are necessary for us to be strong and complete citizens.
