President Gilliam Announces 8 Core Values
Boston University released the findings of its "Living Our Values Initiative" on Oct. 15, unveiling eight university-wide values.
The eight values — integrity, inclusion, community, collaboration, excellence, learning, service, and global — were identified through surveys, focus groups, and discussions with BU community members.
"identify and practice the core principles and beliefs that unite us all"
is the goal of the initiative, according to a letter sent by BU President Melissa Gilliam to the BU community.

"This was an opportunity for us to stop and reflect on who we are and where we want to go"
said Timothy Longman, a member of the initiative’s steering committee and associate dean for academic affairs in the Pardee School of Global Studies.
