Mission
- In striving to meet our mission, our values will be woven into our day-to-day operations with a focus on achieving the following objectives to ensure long-term success as we support reaching the goals of the Auburn University Strategic Plan.
Values
- Our Business and Administration values are a concise and clear expression of the core principles that guide our decisions, actions, and culture. These values serve as a compass, defining what matters to us across our goals and the services we provide.
- Since 1943, Auburn University has been guided by The Auburn Creed. This creed has been a continuous beacon of excellence for the Auburn Family. With its emphasis on integrity, respect, and excellence, The Auburn Creed offers a powerful foundation for our core values. While the creed references many values, we have chosen three to connect with as a complex administrative organization: Integrity, Innovation, and Engagement. These three values are our “Strategic Anchors” and complement the institution’s values.
- Integrity is our commitment to honesty and truthfulness. With stewardship at the forefront, we are dedicated to using university resources wisely and ethically, maximizing impact for the benefit of students, faculty, and staff. Valuing accountability, we operate with transparency and hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards to earn the respect and confidence of our campus community.
- Innovation embodies a spirit that is not afraid. With a focus on empowerment, we partner with faculty and staff to foster an environment of collaboration and innovation that benefits the entire university community. We are forward-thinking continuous improvement partners, leveraging our resources and expertise to address the challenges of an evolving landscape and promoting positive change to ensure Auburn’s continued success.
- Engagement is about the human touch. We place emphasis on interaction to foster a client-centered environment through a culture of collaboration, teamwork, and mutual respect across departments and disciplines to achieve shared goals. Promoting respect, we care for others in our organization and beyond by fostering a culture of helpfulness and compassion.
