- optimal learning to care for self and others occurs in a caring, diverse and respectful community
- faculty and students are accountable for maintaining and modeling professional standards of moral, ethical, and legal conduct
- recognizing and valuing human diversity is essential to person- and relationship-centered care
- individuals have different ways of knowing and learning about the world
- creativity and innovation contribute to continuous quality improvement and sustainability
- an enriched learning environment is the responsibility of faculty, staff, and students
- effective nurse leaders engage in continuous professional development and lifelong learning
