Mission and Vision
|
The mission of Elon University stresses its
commitment to the traditional goals of liberal arts
colleges and universities. While liberal arts is
the foundation of an Elon education, the school has
a rich tradition of preparing young men and women
for the professions of social work, business and
education. While these traditions guide Elon and
the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business, we
must also recognize that the world is now facing a
crisis in the lack of socially responsible
leadership in many aspects of global society.
Given this crisis, especially in the world of
business, the vision for the Martha and Spencer
Love School of Business is responsible leadership
for the 21st century.
To achieve this vision, the mission of the Love
School of Business is "to provide instruction
and experiences for our students so they graduate
with the knowledge, skills and character essential
for responsible business leadership in the 21st
century."
In accomplishing this mission, the Love
School of Business must:
-
-
Emphasize the need for professional and
socially responsible leadership that considers
both the short-term goals of the organization
and the well-being of society;
-
Provide students, especially
undergraduates, with the necessary knowledge,
skills and values to gain a meaningful position
at the end of the student's undergraduate
studies and become a future leader;
-
Prepare students to pursue lifelong
learning, a major need for tomorrow's
leaders given the rapid pace of change;
-
Provide students with opportunities to
experience in a real-world environment the
complexities of organizations competing in a
global environment;
-
Develop a true partnership with area
organizations and business leaders to ensure
that the learning experience at Elon truly
prepares the student to perform effectively in
organizations;
-
Provide students with the realization
that the next century will see change
accelerate and business leaders must lead the
response to such change.
In fostering such a learning environment, the
faculty will adopt and encourage experiential and
active learning approaches.
