Boston University launched the Living Our Values Initiative to identify, embody, and promote the core principles and beliefs that unite our community and guide our decisions, behaviors, and actions in ways that foster inclusivity, integrity, and positive impact. This initiative seeks to nurture a campus environment of respectful and constructive dialogue. We clarified the values that define us as a community and are establishing a framework for their integration across all facets of the University, from strategic planning to daily interactions.

The Living Our Values Initiative represents a transformative opportunity for Boston University to align our community around a common set of principles and behaviors that will guide us into the future. Through a structured approach, we have discovered and defined values that reflect the mission, history, and aspirations of our University. As we continue to embed these values into every aspect of our work, we will foster a stronger, more cohesive University culture.
