Dear university community,

I am pleased to introduce our Code of Conduct — Our Community, Our Commitment. It is a resource designed to support us in doing all we can to live up to the promise of our mission, vision and values.

Lifelong success, creativity, integrity, sustainability, partnerships and inclusion are the values at the heart of our new Code. These values are not new for us. They have been our foundation and have enabled us to do great things for our students, the people of Missouri and beyond. When we face challenges, our values help us address them as a community, finding strength through collaboration. We demonstrate a willingness to be open to change and innovation, and we continue to pursue excellence while striving to maintain the highest ethical standards.

At Missouri S&T, we have a proud tradition of service to our students and the people of Missouri. It is our responsibility to honor this tradition, but also evolve to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Our mission, vision and values can help us meet these challenges, but only if each one of us does our part to ensure that we are guided by the highest ethical principles in our pursuit of excellence. Thank you for your continued hard work and for your support and encouragement.

Sincerely,

Mo Dehghani
Chancellor
