• Build public awareness of and engagement with Scripps Research’s education and outreach programs;
• Create and foster an environment of mutual respect and tolerance of diverse views, beliefs, and backgrounds;
• Develop a technologically-advanced environment that supports innovation and collaboration in teaching, learning, and mentoring of all students; and
• Identify and establish relationships with potential donors who can provide named fellowships and other support for graduate education.
