College Values
Janet Clarke Hall's values were co-created by students, staff, and members of the College's Council
in 2023, and inform the strategic goals outlined in the College's Strategic Plan 2024-2029. We believe
that these are values to live by each and every day, and we hope that they will inspire and guide
you during your time at College and as you venture into the world after you complete your studies.

Community - We work together to sustain a safe and supportive environment where all of us can
be our authentic selves, receiving support according to our needs, and contributing according to
our strengths

Courage - We challenge ourselves every day to grow beyond our comfort zone by believing in our
own potential and by taking chances, risks, and new opportunities

Curiosity - We think for ourselves, asking searching – and sometimes difficult – questions, inspired not
only by our academic disciplines but also a wide range of other interests
Excellence - We strive to be the best that we can be in all that we do, learning from our successes
and our struggles alike

Generosity - We care for those around us, using our privilege and talents to effect positive change
in our local, national, and global communities
