Mission Statement
The mission of the College of STEAM is to further the Franciscan vocation to repair Creation and to honor the whole human person who is part of that good Creation. We embrace:
- the Science that studies all aspects of Creation,
- the Technology and Engineering that translates, uses, and adapts science for the use and betterment of humans,
- the Arts that recognize the human experience through visual, aural, and human movement experiences and the representation of relationships in Art, Music, Dance, and Theatre, and
- the Mathematics that allows us to understand and communicate about the inner-workings of Creation.
