Vision Statement

We envision a Miami campus that embodies the values articulated in the Code of Love & Honor:

I Am Miami.

I believe...

that a liberal education is grounded in qualities of character and intellect.

I stand...

for honesty, integrity, and the importance of moral conduct.

I respect...

the dignity, rights, and property of others and their right to hold and express disparate beliefs.

I defend...

the freedom of inquiry that is the heart of learning.

I exercise...

good judgment and believe in personal responsibility.

I welcome...

a diversity of people, ideas, and experiences.

I embrace...

the spirit, academic rigor, opportunities, and challenges of a Miami Experience, preparing me to make the world a better place.

I demonstrate...

Love and Honor by supporting and caring for my fellow Miamians.

And because I Am Miami,

I act...

through my words and deeds in ways that reflect these values and beliefs. With a deep sense of accomplishment and gratitude,

I will...

Love, Honor, and make proud those who help me earn the joy and privilege of saying,

"To think that in such a place, I led such a life."
