By encouraging excellence in the faculty, the college promotes excellence in the students. Said another way, the mission is excellence on both sides of the podium.

to sponsor programs, seminars and workshops aimed at enhancing teaching effectiveness, fostering professional growth, promoting dialogue among the disciplines and stimulating intellectual discourse and investigation;
to encourage all members of the 'faculty (full-time and part-time) to take advantage of opportunities for pedagogical, scholarly and personal development;
