Its mission centers on cultivating virtues of mind and character, such as humility, trust, honesty, justice, and the love of truth, through collaborative scholarship and dialogue within the university setting. The organization positions itself as a center for learning that engages both secular and religious audiences in intellectual exchange connected to the broader liberal arts tradition.
