griffon gold community standards

Griffons build community by showing…

Missouri Western expects its community members to appreciate their own talents, take themselves and their academic pursuits seriously, and enhance the quality of their lives.

Missouri Western expects its community members to behave towards one another with sensitivity, consideration, understanding, tolerance and an active concern for the welfare of others.

Missouri Western expects its community members to use all property, including buildings, library books, equipment and green spaces, responsibly. This principle requires students to respect personal and institutional property, inside and outside the Missouri Western community.

Missouri Western expects its community members to exhibit respect for its faculty, administrators, staff and designated student staff members and paraprofessionals – each of whom has been charged with responsibilities essential to the orderly operation of the university.

Missouri Western expects its community members to demonstrate the personal characteristics of honesty and integrity in all aspects of their campus life, both inside and outside the classroom. These qualities, which are congruent with our community values, are integral parts of daily life on campus.
