The faculty of the HDFS is committed to understanding and improving the lives of people of all ages through our education, research, and outreach activities. We strive to accomplish the following in all our endeavors:
Build caring communities for learning and working with each other, with students, and with the people we serve. Accept and value diversity; we appreciate differences in people, families, and ideas. Convey that every family has value and that learning should take place in an environment of mutual respect and tolerance. Provide opportunities to learn how to help people live and work in caring relationships, families, organizations, and communities. Facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills that will help people resolve individual, interpersonal, family, organizational, and social problems.
