At UNM-Taos we strive to be passionate about our work, our collaborative working relationships, and our service to students and to the communities of northern New Mexico. We believe that our diversity is our strength and that collaborative, empowering environments and processes will bring out the many gifts within our faculty, staff and students. We believe that every student is precious and that we must start with each student where they are and partner with them to reach their educational goals. We strive to foster a sense of belonging and community and see each individual as a learning leader. We thrive on challenge, creativity and diversity and cultivate the important activities of respect, deep listening, hospitality, sustainability, flexibility, balance, reflection, humility, passion and authenticity in our work. We encourage the inclusion of body, mind, spirit and heart in our learning community. We enjoy being involved in the lives of our students and hold relationships as sacred.
