| School mission | Stephens College's Mission is: "Historically committed to meeting the changing needs of women, Stephens College engages students in an innovative educational experience focused on pre-professional fields and the performing arts and grounded in the liberal arts. Graduates of Stephens are career-ready women of distinction, connected through a supportive network of alumnae across the world, confident in themselves, and inspired by our tradition of the Ten Ideals as core values that enrich women's lives." Originating in 1921, the Ten Ideals are Respect, Courage, Independence, Support, Sensitivity, Responsibility, Belief, Creativity, Intelligence and Leadership. Undergraduate students at Stephens work closely with faculty and become active participants in small classroom settings and in campus life, where leadership opportunities abound. Stephens celebrates its 175th anniversary in 2008 ??? welcoming numerous guest speakers to campus, hosting a variety of fun activities to celebrate Stephens??? history, and connecting its graduates across the globe. |
