Mission in Action

Bringing ºÚÁϵ¼º½’s Mission to Life

We invite all students, faculty, and staff to join a campus-wide campaign celebrating how each of us brings ºÚÁϵ¼º½’s mission to life!  

Our Mission

Since 1955, ºÚÁϵ¼º½ has pursued its mission to

  • Provide career-oriented professional education.
  • Give all qualified students access to opportunity.
  • Support research and scholarship that benefit the larger world.

Submissions

Your submission may become part of a dynamic, community-created mash‑up collage of photos, videos, and stories that highlight the many ways we learn, serve, support, innovate, and succeed—together. 

Submission Deadline: May 22

Submission Ideas

  • A project, program, or initiative you’re proud of 
  • A moment of collaboration or service 
  • A classroom or research experience 
  • A creative or community-engaged activity 
  • A publication 

Types of Submissions

We ask that all submissions include: 

  • Short video clips (follow the Self-Recording Guidelines below) OR
  • Photos 
  • We can also accept external links to supporting media (e.g., an article or write-up) 

When you make your submission, you will be able to provide a description; however, for the mash-up, it is best if the submission can stand alone, without it.

Self-Recording Guidelines

The following guidelines will help you capture high-quality footage for editing and production. This assumes you are comfortable using basic iPhone or Android camera settings. 

  • Choose a quiet location with minimal background noise.
  • Use even lighting from the front. A window in front of you works well as soft, natural light. If outside, face the sun.
  • Avoid strong backlighting (bright windows behind you).
  • Keep your background simple and uncluttered.
  • Avoid visible logos, labels, or branded items. • Do not include light fixtures directly behind your head. 

  • Film vertically (portrait orientation).
  • Hold your phone at eye level so you’re looking straight ahead.
  • Keep your head and upper torso centered in frame.
  • When speaking, look directly into the camera lens.
  • Keep the camera steady. 

  • Speak clearly and naturally.
  • Avoid windy areas.
  • If possible, remove headphones or avoid using speakers.

  • Keep it short and focused.
  • Aim for under 15 seconds.
