10/1/07 - Features
[Introduction from the Oredigger Editorials Board:
This plan was developed by Dr. Heidi Loshbaugh, working directly under Colorado School of Mines President Dr. Myles "Bill" Scoggins. It is a living document and, as such, feedback from all members of the CSM community has been requested. The Oredigger will be accepting Letters to the Editor on this topic. Readers may also attend ASCSM meetings and e-mail campus administration to provide feedback.]
---------------------------
Mission
To meet national and regional demands for engineering talent for the foreseeable future, Colorado School of Mines will become a significantly diversified STEM institution, continuing to deliver a highly competitive education and conduct world-renowned research on a welcoming and embracing campus comprised of a broader spectrum of students, faculty, and staff.
Vision
Given shifts in the engineering workforce and global marketplace, the engineer of the future must be culturally fluent, socially adaptable, technically sophisticated, and perennially revising her/his competencies. To prepare graduates for the global economy, Colorado School of Mines must adapt its campus climate, expand its educational opportunities, and broaden the profile of the students, faculty, and staff who make up our campus community.
Guiding Principles
Colorado School of Mines must continue to recruit highly qualified students, faculty, and staff, maintain rigorous expectations, and retain, graduate, and employ persons with significant expertise in their areas of education and responsibility. The campus community must be a place that welcomes and fosters a broad range of personal and cultural identity, belief, and practice, even as it encourages academic and professional excellence.
Diversity Defined
At Colorado School of Mines, the principal of diversity is defined as an openness to and tolerance for differences of thought, opinion, and practice held by members of its campus community. President Myles W. "Bill" Scoggins has called for a change in the campus culture to make it more welcoming, comfortable, and safe for anyone who participates in the life of CSM. Stakeholders include students, faculty, staff, alumni, industry employers, the Board of Trustees, and the residents of Colorado.
