Our Values

Human Hands form a heart with the Boise State B in the center

We value ACCESSIBILITY

We affirm the uniqueness of people as we strive to create and sustain the conditions for people to learn with and build on each other’s abilities, cultures, histories, identities, questions, stories, and strengths.

We value ADAPTABILITY

We acknowledge and attend to changing circumstances and technologies. As writers and learners, we must be dynamic and open to change.

We value EMPATHY

We aim to understand the perspectives, experiences, emotions, and expectations of people.

We value EMPOWERMENT

We cultivate curiosity, collaboration, and creativity in order to foster thinkers and writers within, across, and beyond the Department of Writing Studies, Boise State, and our communities.

We value the recursive process of REFLECTION, REVISION, and GROWTH

We encourage and model this process for our students and our partners across campus and our communities.
