Commitment
We choose to work at the University out of a personal commitment to higher education and to the University's mission. We embrace the opportunity to become learners and teachers through our work.

Community
We take pride in being a part of the dynamic, creative community that is UALR. We see our work as interrelated with the work of others to contribute through education, research and service to our city, state, nation and world.

Dignity
We celebrate the diversity of human beings within and served by the University. We recognize that we serve persons who, like ourselves, represent a wide range of abilities, ages and backgrounds. We seek to acknowledge each person's dignity.

Respect
We respect those we serve. We respond graciously, demonstrating courtesy, patience, honesty and discretion. We honor and protect each person's privacy.

We respect ourselves. We affirm that the best service we can offer to others comes from our own well-being. We nurture our own strengths and growth and thus become more and more positive in our attitudes and actions.

Responsiveness
We seek to be knowledgeable and responsive. We remember that what is routine for us may be unfamiliar and even frightening for those we serve. We help them discover the options and alternatives available within the University. We look for effective solutions to the challenges with which we are faced.

Environment
We work to preserve and enhance the University's natural and physical environment. We give our support and our energies to make the University safe, clean, attractive and accessible.

Excellence
We set forth these ideals as a guide toward excellence. Instead of expecting perfection in ourselves and others, we expect enthusiasm, resourcefulness and initiative in being our best each day. We find such a commitment rewarding.
