Faculty Revise Mission StatementOctober 8, 2009GSLIS faculty recently revised the School's mission statement. Dean John Unsworth said, "Every so often, the faculty at GSLIS review their mission statement, to see if it still accurately represents our goals and values. The most recent review happened at the fall faculty retreat in August: the discussion was very interesting and constructive, and the result was a completely new mission statement." The new mission statement reads: "People use information for analysis, inquiry, collaboration, and play—and in so doing, change the world. The Graduate School of Library and Information Science is dedicated to shaping the future of information through research, education, and engagement, both public and professional. Our mission is to lead a revolution in the understanding and use of information in science, culture, society, commerce, and the diverse activities of our daily lives." |
