Alverno College
Mission Statement:
Alverno exists to promote the personal and professional development of women. This defines both our long term aims and daily pursuits. To accomplish our mission, we must work constantly in four areas.
Creating a community of Learning: The common purpose that gathers everyone at Alverno is the pursuit of knowledge and the development of students' abilities.
Creating a curriculum: A curriculum is the way students learn. Learning at Alverno is rooted in the liberal arts, and the Catholic tradition. We organize learning to develop students' abilities, accommodate the diverse needs of women and keep Alverno affordable for women of varied economic circumstances.
Creating ties to the community: To prepare students for their professions and for the responsibilities of citizenship, Alverno builds relationships benefiting students with business, industry and community institutions.
Creating relationship with higher education: Faculty and staff welcome from other educators constructive criticism of their teaching, scholarship and research. In this way, we hold ourselves responsible for a continuing contribution to the advancement of undergraduate education.
