Mission and Core Values

The University of Toledo Mission:

The mission of The University of Toledo is to improve the human condition; to advance knowledge through excellence in learning, discovery and engagement; and to serve as a diverse, student-centered public metropolitan research university.

Student Advising Mission:

The College of Arts and Letters Student Advising Office and its staff support learning and development in the arts, humanities, and social sciences at The University of Toledo. As an academic advising office, we provide our undergraduates with the information and guidance necessary for success at the University through the coordination of student support including faculty, staff and campus resources.

Our Core Values:

We recognize that each student has a unique background and individual needs and aspirations. By taking a holistic advising approach:

• We strive for consistent, honest, and respectful interactions with our students, cultivating positive and supportive relationships.
• We understand and educate our students about academic policies and departmental/major information to provide accurate and efficient services on their path toward graduation.
• We encourage and empower our students to be their own strongest advocate by providing the necessary tools and information to make important independent decisions here at UT and beyond.
• We value each students' chosen field of study and motivate enthusiasm and investment in their educational career.
