Adopt a value-add mindset

We aim to come alongside our campus partners and leverage innovative technology solutions to enhance learning, research, enrollment, and success at Illinois State. We must have an innate understanding of how our partners do their work and use our systems, in order to create a rewarding digital experience for all. We understand the importance of belonging and will develop additional avenues for supporting a diverse and equitable campus community. We recognize the impact that Illinois State has on the greater community and will seek to support those relationships through a variety of collaborative efforts with local public and private groups.
